There are a few types of Golf carts and the one you choose to purchase depends on your required needs. Electric carts are great for recreational golf, but if you are competing in competitions you may like to invest in a gas-powered golf cart. The best time to buy a golf cart is in summer when the full ranges and new models are available. Used golf carts can be picked up on kijiji.com or Craig's list for reasonable prices. For new golf carts it is best to visit a specialized golf store, such as Golf Town.
