Golf carts have grown sharply in popularity over the past few years because they make walking the golf course that little bit easier. Carrying your clubs for 18 holes is tiring enough, even more so when you factor in your shots in between.
Additionally, push carts are a relatively cheap way of getting around the golf course a little more easily and they should last a long time as well as offer value for money. Nowadays, the quality of a push cart is as good as it's ever been, with manufacturers creating a number of superb options.

Why choose a push cart over an electric model?
Brands like Motocaddy, Stewart Golf, BagBoy, Sun Mountain, Powakaddy, to name but a few, have manufactured, refined and developed push carts, electric carts and even remote control golf carts to make the job of walking the golf course more convenient and, importantly, easier on the body. While electric models sit atop the tree when it comes to golf technology, the push cart market has a wide range of brands offering unique and high-quality products. But why specifically would you choose a push cart over the best electric golf trolleys?
For starters, push carts are far cheaper, with the very best costing under $450, which is considerably less than electric trolleys which can cost almost double. Push carts are also simpler to set up when you get to the course and require less fuss as there's no battery to worry about. They also have great storage options on the handle of the chassis that can house your golf balls, tees, scorecard and other items.
Gone are the days when the best golf carts were heavy and cumbersome while being difficult to push and maneuver around the golf course. These days, modern push carts are light and easy to use making the experience less physically demanding compared to carrying your golf bag. Additionally, push carts are easy to assemble and have mechanisms that allow them to fold down compactly so they easily fit the trunk of your car or garage space. They also tend to be significantly lighter.

Bag Boy Nitron Push Cart during a testing session
If speed is what you are after, then the Bag Boy Nitron is also an excellent option, with the mechanism to fold and unfold lightning fast. In testing, we found that it opens up in one smooth action and then folds closed again just as easily, with the wheels also able to be taken off and put back on again.
Away from the mechanism, it is very lightweight and compact when folded down, which makes it perfect for storing. Also, the Nitron isn't as heavy or bulky as other similar carts on the market and has a number of features which exceed other models. These include an integrated beverage holder, mobile device holder and golf ball storage, handle-mounted parking brake and bungee straps that secure the golf bag with ease, making this incredible value.

Longridge Eze Glide Smart Fold Push cart on grass
The first model on the list is the EzeGlide Smart Fold Push Cart, which received five stars out of five in our test. What stood out? Well, pretty much everything, with it being extremely manoeuvrable out on the golf course, as well as lightweight and compact making it easy to unload to and from the car.
It's made up of a 7.2kg (15.9lbs) lightweight durable aluminium frame, which we felt was very easy to lift and, when folded down, it measures just 79cm x 58cm x 40cm. This means that it won't take up much storage at home. The features of the EzeGlide including a broad scorecard holder, dry space for valuables and equipment, an umbrella Holder and x2 Wheel Covers.
Out on the course, we were seriously impressed with its manoeuvrability as the lightweight nature meant it glided along the golf course. As well as the manoeuvrability, it's simplicity will appeal to a wide range of people, with a footbrake and adjustable handle allowing for maximum comfort when in the pushing position. What's more, this model houses a slender carry bag just as well as a more hefty tour bag, with the arms also folding around the bag as the elasticated bungees secured our clubs in place.
