The Quick List

Best Electric Golf Caddies

Best Overall

If you are familiar with Stewart trolleys and their design then you may not notice much difference with this trolley bar a few refreshments to the overall design. It has a two-step folding system that is very efficient and well-designed, it compacts down well considering the overall size of the trolley.

When it comes to performance on course this trolley has a new tech called ACT which takes it to the top of the class when it comes to remote functionality. The Active Terrain Control is a new operating system designed to let the trolley tackle all sorts of landscapes at any gradient. We checked this out in testing and believed it worked really well as we tackled some very steep slopes with it, and it cruised over them. With the two wheels at the front of the trolley, we found it to have great stability and also maneuverability too. 

There are a couple of things we found that let it down somewhat, but they were only minor, firstly the remote is a bit bulkier than some other trolleys on the market. Along with this, it does not have the embedded GPS in the handle you get with some of its competitors.

PowaKaddy RX1 GPS Electric Trolley

The Rx1 GPs from Powakaddy is a simply stunning golf cart that we thoroughly enjoyed testing out on the course, and is easily one of the best remote-controlled trolleys you can get. This trolley was highly responsive in testing and worked great with the remote, it has a lovely stealthy look with the matte finish, with the usual yellow accents for the Powakaddy brand. 

This trolley comes with a color 3.5" touchscreen that has GPS built-in, this will give you yardages to the front, middle, and back of the green, along with any hazards on the hole. You can see the stroke index of each hole you are on, and the GPS will automatically switch to the next hole once you arrive at the tee. It benefits from the usual digital scorecard to help keep track of scoring and measure the distance of tracked shots. This all worked seamlessly with a responsive touchscreen making it an enjoyable experience to use.

During our testing sessions, we loved the remote functionality on offer here with this trolley boasting some very cool tech, including PowaKaddy's Slope Traverse Assist, which kept the cart running in a straight line down steeper gradients. A built in breaking system was also welcomed and that helped the trolley remain steady on undulating terrain. Lastly, we loved how easy it was to pack away. The Chassis breaks down and folds onto the battery area and we loved the slim shape it compacts into. Overall, the RX1 GPS really delivers on everything we think the best golf carts should do.

MGI Zip Navigator Remote Electric Caddy

This trolley is highly stable across a variety of terrains, we had full confidence in testing that this trolley could handle any tricky gradients and slopes we gave it. This great stability is mainly down to the 4th little wheel at the back of the trolley, this helps to stop the trolley from tipping back when going over tricky terrains. It features downhill speed control to make sure that the trolley does not get away from you down steeper declines, this helps to give you confidence with the trolley and helps with stability. 

The remote for this trolley has a handy lock feature, which stops any buttons from being pressed accidentally while in your pocket. You can also invert the wheels when folding this trolley, this helps to save space when storing it. We think this is a well-rounded and great offering at a reasonable price in this market.

How we test

When we are testing electric golf caddies at Golf Monthly we always make sure to put them through comprehensive testing over multiple rounds. This way we can give you an extensive overview and insight when we are writing our reviews, this then helps you to make more informed decisions when it comes to purchasing one.

We will also try to where we can attend product launches and speak with manufacturer design teams to get a good understanding of the tech in the trolleys and what they offer. With the amount of tech being poured into trolleys these days understanding it and learning it is very important. 

We make sure to get the different models out onto the course for multiple rounds, this helps us learn exactly how the trolley works and how it behaves in different conditions. 

How to choose an electric golf caddie

When it comes to buying a one of the best golf carts in the electric market, there are several key factors to consider before purchasing. 

Manual/Remote/Follow 

What we mean by this factor is what level of usability do you want your trolley to have? Manual electric carts are powered by a battery and then you manually control speed and direction. 

Remote-control caddies, as the name suggests, can be controlled wirelessly with the use of a handset. Most remotes have four directions (forward, reverse, left, right), and because of this enhanced technology, these tend to cost a little bit more than manual models.

Finally, 'follow' models are designed to follow you around the golf course through wireless communications, often using Bluetooth. This means you don't really have to operate anything and the caddy simply follows you wherever you go.

Battery

Have a think about how powerful you want your trolley to be, which means have a think about the battery. If you want really powerful models then these are likely to cost more. Most models these days are fitted with lithium batteries because of how powerful they can be over a long period of time. Also consider how long you want the battery to last. Most caddies will comes with a 18 or 36 holes battery choice, with the latter costing a little bit more. 

Features

At a very basic level a good electric golf caddie should transport your clubs around the golf course easily, but many electric models have a lot more features too so it is definitely worth having a think about which ones are important to you. Do you want your trolley to have a screen? Do you want GPS information? Do you want it to track your score? Consider how many toys you want on the caddy before you enter the market. 

Foldability

Alternatively do you want a model that can fold down easily and conveniently when the time comes to store it away? Manufacturers are keenly aware that people may have limited space in the trunk of their car on in their garage and have made compact caddies with this in mind. If this is a key factor for you, check out our guide on the most compact models. 

Budget

The final factor to think about is budget, what can you afford? With the variety of models above, you can find models that offer more value if that's what you want, but if you really want to go all out then there are also models for that too. If you are in the former camp, we would definitely recommend taking a look at our guide on the best affordable golf carts.
