Why You Should Buy a Golf Cart for Getting Around Town and the Neighborhood

If you’ve noticed more and more people cruising around your neighborhood or downtown in golf carts, you’re not imagining it! At Putters Golf Carts, we’ve seen firsthand how golf carts have become one of the most practical—and enjoyable—ways to get around town. Whether you’re running a quick errand, visiting neighbors, or heading to a community event, a street-legal golf cart gives you freedom, convenience, and fun—all in one ride.


1. Convenient Local Transportation

Why take your car for every short trip when a golf cart can get you there just as easily? Many communities allow street-legal golf carts on roads with speed limits of 35 mph or less. That means you can drive from your home to the store, a restaurant, or even a friend’s house without the hassle of traffic or parking.

Putters Golf Carts offers a wide selection of carts that are street legal so you can enjoy simple, efficient, and affordable transportation right from your driveway.


2. Save Money and Go Green

Operating an electric golf cart costs just pennies per mile—significantly less than driving your car. You’ll save on fuel, maintenance, and insurance while reducing your carbon footprint.

At Putters Golf Carts, we specialize in electric golf carts that combine performance and reliability with modern features like LED lighting, long-life batteries, and smooth handling. It’s an eco-friendly way to get where you need to go.


3. What Makes a Golf Cart Street Legal?

If you plan to use your cart on public roads, it needs to meet certain requirements. A street-legal golf cart typically includes:

  • Headlights, taillights, and turn signals

  • Seat belts for all passengers

  • Side mirrors or a rear-view mirror

  • Horn and unique VIN number

Our team at Putters Golf Carts can help you upgrade or customize your cart to meet these standards so you can enjoy peace of mind knowing you’re road-ready and compliant.


4. Perfect for Neighborhood Living

Golf carts are more than just vehicles they’re part of a lifestyle. They make it easy to visit friends, explore your neighborhood, or head to community events without starting up the car. Families love the convenience, and it’s a fun, social way to enjoy your neighborhood.

At Putters Golf Carts, we help customers choose models that fit their lifestyle—whether that means a compact two-seater for quick errands or a six-passenger cart for family adventures.


5. Customize Your Ride

From custom wheels and lifted suspensions to Bluetooth sound systems and weather enclosures, there’s no limit to what you can do with a golf cart. Putters Golf Carts can help you choose a cart that’s unique to you—whether you want extra comfort, more range, or a look that turns heads.
