The humble push cart has come a long way in its evolution from a mere metal framed contraption to the impressive electric trolleys we see for sale in golf shops today. No longer is age or fitness a barrier, the introduction of the electric golf trolley means that all women with the stamina to walk 9 or 18 holes can have the joy of playing this game. The electric trolley does the hard work for us on the course, taking away the dread of having to carry a heavy bag around, particularly in the heat or on courses with lots of elevation changes. Many of the best women’s golf bags on the market are extremely light however so carrying for 9 holes for some extra fitness shouldn’t be an issue.

Many of us in the GM office certainly can’t imagine life without our trusty powered trolley, especially when playing in 36-hole tournaments or competing over several days. The life of the battery is one of the key criteria that’s important. Other factors include price, the “golf gadgets” that tech-savvy women may enjoy as added features and of course the weight of the trolley as you’ll be lifting in and out of your car. Narrowing down the right electric trolley for you isn’t always easy, so after testing many different models, we’ve put together this handy buyer’s guide for females to help you decide.

Motocaddy M5 GPS electric trolley review

Weight: 10.5kgs/23lbs
Screen: 3.5” LCD touchscreen
Battery: Super lightweight, waterproof Lithium

Reasons to buy

+
Folds down compactly and quickly 
+

Reasons to avoid

-
Folding latches are quite stiff

The Motocaddy M5 GPS is a top-tier choice for both men and women, centered around its crystal-clear 3.5" LCD touchscreen. The high-resolution display is built to handle all weather conditions and is impressively responsive, even if you’re wearing a glove. Beyond just giving you yardages, the system lets you track your score and manually adjust pin positions for pinpoint accuracy on your approach shots, effectively acting like a sidekick for you on the course.

The M5 is powered by a 28.8V drive system that you get on all the M-series trolleys this helps to improve efficiency and performance reliability, this also means getting hold of new batteries, chargers and getting repairs is easier with a standard drive system across the range. I liked the fact it folded down nicely and at only 10.5kg, it was fairly easy to get into the car. Although I should admit the folding latches can be a little stiff at times, although from my experience they do loosen up over time. As such it can take only a few seconds to erect it fully.

Finally with all the features available, you could be forgiven for thinking the battery life is poor but this isn't the case at all.

An unnecessary purchase if you already have a GPS device or only use rangefinders

Since golf trolleys began incorporating GPS devices, many to do so have been very clunky, heavy and difficult to handle. Powakaddy proved this didn't always have to be the case with their CT8 trolley and have made even more improvements in their latest release - the CT12. I think it ticks pretty much every box you need from an electric trolley and given how easy it is to use and setup, it's easily one of the most compact golf trolleys as well.

The folding system is easy to use after getting used to it, in fact it became second nature for me. It folds down very compactly and what's more the rear wheels can be inverted to save even more space when storing it away.

Aesthetically, this trolley really steps it up with a sleek black and silver finish. The tech side is just as sharp and while it’s the same dependable PowaKaddy GPS system we’re used to, the move to a 5" full-color portrait touchscreen is a total game-changer. The display is incredibly crisp, and flipping the orientation was a genius call and makes navigating the features feel way more intuitive. It’s packed with everything you need, from a digital scorecard and stroke index info to the Active Green View, which lets you drag and drop the flag for increased accuracy on every approach.

Minimal upgrades from the 2022 version

If you are after a great looking trolley, then the S1 is definitely a model to consider. The seamless, flowing design really looks fantastic as do the pops of red with the sporty wheels. Performance is not just aesthetic though because it is very easy to use, so much so it got a 5-star rating in our review.

This ease of use starts with the folding process, which is instantaneous. It's one step system works by pressing one button and pulling the chassis up, and boom you are done. Obviously folding it down takes next to no time as well.

The Motocaddy S1 has a motor that is whisper-quiet, allowing it to blend seamlessly into the background while you focus on your game, nor will it distract your playing partners if you're walking as they are hitting. The control knob on the handle is incredibly responsive, making speed adjustments feel instinctive rather than a chore.

Requires more attention than some other when navigating slopes

Thanks to the new class-leading 5" HD screen on the PowaKaddy RX12, using a golf trolley to plot around the course is easier than ever. The screen is a powerful one too, boasting a 1.1GHz processor that means the responsiveness to commands is akin to that of a premium smartphone.

The GPS is a high-tech powerhouse that fixes the 'basic' feel of its predecessor with a massive, smartphone-grade 5-inch portrait touchscreen. This display is a data-lover’s dream, offering everything from Full Hole View with pinch-to-zoom to detailed stat tracking for fairways, greens, and putts. While the new slimline remote is a huge ergonomic upgrade over the old clunky version, the on-course handling is still solid rather than ground-breaking and you’ll still need to give it the occasional steering nudge on steeper side-slopes compared to more specialized remote-only rigs.

Ultimately, it’s one of, if not the best-looking, most feature-packed trolley on the market for golfers who want flagship GPS data and remote freedom in a single, premium package.

Screen: N/A
Battery: Lithium (27 or 45 holes available)

Reasons to buy

+
Superb stability

Folds compactly with a neat carry handle

Market-leading 27 or 45-hole battery capacities

Remote bulkier than competitors

The Stewart Golf Vertx Remote is a perfect example of a high-tech trolley that actually lives up to the hype. While some carts are a nightmare to fold, Stewart keeps it simple with a signature two-step system that collapses into a surprisingly compact shape, especially considering how much power is under the hood.

When in motion the design translates to a really solid trolley despite the two front wheels being pretty small in comparison to some other carts. Some of this stability is aided by its overall bulk but this doesn’t negatively impact its maneuverability. During our testing the Vertx had no trouble with a variety of terrain, including steeper hills. It’s here that the unseen tech called Active Terrain Control (ATC) plays a leading role, with the operating system allowing the trolley to react to different conditions.

What you don’t get here is a GPS built-in to the handle. If that’s a dealbreaker you might want to consider the GPS options from Powacaddy or Motocaddy, for example, and again, this model is reasonably heavy at 14.9kg/31lbs so there are lighter models out there.

For any golfer who’s into their gadgets, the S5 GPS from Motocaddy is a great trolley choice. Boasting a range of exciting features, it’s sure to be a hit with anyone who loves tech or is crazy about testing out all the best golf accessories available.

One of the most sought-after features of the S5 is the one-step folding system that quickly transforms the trolley into a compact shape. Of course, it’s slightly larger than some of the other trolleys on the list, which is something to keep in mind if space is limited. That said, one of the great things about this particular folding trolley is the fact that you can charge the trolley’s lithium battery even when the cart is folded down.

The Motocaddy S5 is a breeze to set up - just hit the blue button and the whole frame pops into place in one smooth motion. While it does have a slightly larger footprint than some other women's trolleys (something to keep in mind if your car trunk is on the smaller side), that extra size is exactly what makes it so incredibly stable and robust on the course.

Then there’s the technology on offer in this cart, which we must say is pretty impressive. Featuring a fully integrated GPS system that can be easily access via a 3.5” touchscreen, which includes Dynamic Green View that matches the hole being played, as well as providing accurate yardages to each point on the course.

How to choose a golf cart

There’s a lot to think about when it comes to choosing one of the best electric golf trolleys, but fear not, we’ve put together some key points to consider when it comes to choosing a trolley to make sure you’re purchasing a product that suits your needs.

Additional Features

Over the past decade, electric trolleys have evolved into highly sophisticated pieces of technology that offer far more than just club transport. One of the biggest new features are the new integrated GPS systems that are a legitimate game-changers, providing instant confidence on unfamiliar courses without the need for a separate handheld device. The addition of digital scoring functionality proves extremely handy, while built-in USB ports ensure that your phone and rangefinder stay fully charged through all 18 holes. Determine what features you need and which ones you don't, for the more features you want, the more you'l' have to pay.

Battery Life

In recent years, golf trolley battery technology has undergone a significant transformation, with the transition to lithium-ion battery power leading the charge. While high-performance lithium units do require a larger initial investment, their durability and near-zero maintenance typically result in a much lower total cost of ownership over the life of the trolley.

Storage

Historically, older style powered trolleys were incredibly heavy to lift and cumbersome to store and women complained about the difficulty of transporting them to the course. Modern electric trolley designs are much more compact and made from some clever lightweight materials that allow them to still be robust, but far easier to lift in and out of a car boot.

Maneuverability

Maneuverability is a critical factor in your decision-making process, especially depending on where you play most of your rounds. Whether you’re navigating a flat parkland course or a more demanding, undulating heathland or links layout, choosing a model with responsive handling can significantly reduce on-course fatigue and potentially even lead to lower scores.

Remote control/Follow Trolleys

Yes you can actually buy electric trolleys that follow you now via sensors! Naturally trolleys that have follow or remote control functionality do cost considerably more, but if you play at a course where trolleys have to stick to paths down the side of holes, being able to control the trolley from the fairway via remote is extremely helpful.

FAQs

Are electric golf trolleys worth it?

There’s no avoiding the fact that an electric trolley is a significant financial commitment, but the physical benefits often outweigh the initial cost. Shifting the weight of a heavy bag from your shoulders to a motorized chassis is a revelation in energy conservation. However, the true value of that investment is highly personal, depending on your physical health, your budget, and the specific terrain you play on. For a golfer dealing with back issues or navigating a particularly hilly course, an electric model can be a game-changer that can genuinely extend their playing years.
