Club Car EZGO & Yamaha Common And Most Ridiculous Uses
Not just for the golf course anymore! We all know that Club Car, EZGO and Yamaha golf carts are used for golf, but more and more around the country (and the world!) you will see golf carts popping up all over the place, not just at the golf course. With a multitude of purposes, the uses for a golf cart are endless. You might be wondering "What ARE the uses for a golf cart besides golf?" Well, we have created this super easy to read list that gives you insight into the world of golf cart uses, not just for golf!
Hunting / Fishing
By far, one of the most popular non-golf related uses for a golf cart is hunting and fishing. For many reasons, a golf cart is becoming a much preferred choice over other vehicles such as ATV's, UTV's, etc for hunting and fishing for a multitude of reasons.
- Noise Level: A good majority of ATV's and UTV's are gas powered, which makes them pretty noisy. For obvious reasons, a noisy vehicle while out in the woods is not what you want. You do not want to scare away all the deer! Electric golf carts for hunting are super popular because they are quiet.
- Passenger Capability: Unlike many other forms of transportation for hunting and fishing, Club Car, EZGO and Yamaha golf carts are perfect for carrying multiple passengers. Many other transport options can carry only 1 or 2 people at a time. Golf carts have the capability to carry up to 6 passengers. Great for when you and all your buddies head out for some wilderness fun!

Law Enforcement
More and more law enforcement has been utilizing electric golf carts and gas golf carts for catching perpetrators and keeping small, close knit neighborhoods safe and sound.
Most golf cart communities, golf cart retirement communities and golf cart enriched areas such as island towns and vacation hot-spots even have their own police departments with their own fleet of golf carts that they use for law enforcement. For example:
- Kelleys Island: The largest American island in Lake Erie, located in the western basin of Lake Erie about four miles north of Marblehead and twelve miles from Sandusky on the Ohio mainland, the entire island measures more than four square miles and is packed full of golf carts. In fact, golf carts are their main form of transportation for residents, visitors AND their own police department.
Complete with flashing red and blue lights, police golf carts have everything a full size police car has, just in a smaller package!
Plowing
You may think we are crazy, but hear us out. Yes, golf cart plowing is a thing! Club Car, EZGO and Yamaha golf carts (along with many others) are heavily utilized in many areas for plowing services and several manufacturers, produce a plow that fits perfectly on the front of a golf cart.
