Driving Your Golf Cart in the Rain

Your golf cart is a handy mode of transportation for playing golf as well as carrying items or people around at an event or in a neighborhood. And while sunny weather is the ideal for being in an open-air vehicle that doesn’t go very fast, you’ll likely end up having to drive your golf cart in the rain at some point. Here are our tips on how to do that successfully.

Is Your Cart Capable of Handling Rain?

Your ability to drive in the rain may be hampered by how heavy the rain is and how deep puddles are. It’s not ideal to completely soak your golf cart as it can suffer damage from heavy rain. It’s a good idea to look up the weather forecast before you go out to see whether there will be rain and how heavy it will be. Driving your golf cart in the rain should only be done when it’s a very light rain.

Preparing Your Golf Cart

Properly maintaining your golf cart can help ensure it operates properly when you’re driving in more difficult weather. If you have a windshield, you may want to install windshield wipers on it to help improve your visibility. Check your tires before each ride and air them up as needed. Balding tires should be replaced since they will cause you to lose traction.
