Driving Your Electric Golf Cart in the Rain

Springtime is a great time to golf, but there’s one hazard that can make it a little challenging: the promise of rain. A rainy day doesn’t necessarily mean that your game has to be called off, but if you’re using an electric golf cart as your means of transport, then you’re going to need to be careful. Here’s what to know about driving a golf cart in wet weather.

Can Your Cart Handle It?

Some models of golf carts may be more suitable than others for rain driving; for example, golf carts with a windshield and some form of enclosure will keep you drier. You probably don’t want to drive any golf cart in very heavy rain, whether or not you’re on a golf course, as this can cause serious damage to your vehicle. Checking the weather can help you to determine if the rain is light enough to avoid the creation of deep puddles.

Get Your Cart Ready

You’ll need to maintain your electric golf cart to keep it functional for rain driving, since it’s more challenging than driving on a sunny day. Make sure your tires have enough air and tread on them so that you get good traction on wet surfaces. Adding windshield wipers to your windshield can improve your visibility as you drive.
