6 Golf Cart Accessories I Wish I Knew About Sooner

I use my golf cart more than I use my car. Whether I’m heading to the course, driving around the neighborhood or just doing a loop with the kids, my cart gets a lot of use. While I’m not usually big on accessories, there are a few I’ve picked up over the years that have made golf cart ownership noticeably better. These are the golf cart accessories I wish I had found sooner.

Madsen Golf Magnetic Strap

The strap system on most golf carts can do a number on your golf bag, especially if you’re using a white one. I started noticing scuff marks and abrasions where the cart straps would dig in during a round.

The Madsen Golf Strap is a simple but smart fix. It wraps around your bag to provide a protective sleeve and the magnets are functional for accessories. Your bag won’t slide or get damaged.

A2C Rechargeable Magnetic Golf Cart Fan

Wiring a fan into your golf cart isn’t exactly a weekend project most people want to take on. This rechargeable fan eliminates the need for hardwiring and clips on magnetically. It has a surprisingly strong output for its size and the built-in battery keeps it running long enough for a full round (or two). As a bonus, keeping air moving also helps keep the gnats and mosquitoes off you while the group in front is grinding over another six-footer.

Battery Water Filler Bottle

In the spirit of full disclosure, I’ll tell you that I have this product in my Amazon cart after writing this guide. I’ve been using a dollar store funnel and a jug of distilled water to top off my golf cart batteries. It worked but it’s not as convenient as this thing is.

The Battery Water Filler prevents overfilling and simplifies a necessary maintenance task.

Roykaw Armrests with Cup Holders

These aren’t a flashy accessory but they might be the one your passengers appreciate the most. I ordered this set of armrests before I knew models with built-in phone holders even existed. They’re sturdy, easy to install and make the back seat way more comfortable. If your cart doesn’t already have something like this, they’re an easy upgrade.

10L0L Wireless Dome Light

You don’t need a brand-new cart with luxury lighting to see what you’re doing after dark. This simple dome light is rechargeable, magnetically mounted and bright enough to illuminate the entire cart area. It’s one of those cheap gadgets that ends up being way more useful than expected.

Stripebird Magnetic Phone Holder

I’ve tried a lot of phone holders on my cart. Most were either too bulky, too flimsy or made me nervous that they were going to fall off when the cart started moving. This Stripebird magnetic phone holder finally changed that. The magnet is strong, the design is sleek and it’s one of the few options I trust to hold my phone in place during a full round. If you use your phone for GPS or scoring, this is one of the better cart-mounted solutions out there.

Final thoughts

The fun thing about golf cart accessories is that you don’t have to spend much money or time to make small tweaks that work. Even if you don’t own a golf cart, you can still find options like the phone holder or bag strap that help keep your gear and gadgets in better shape.
