    Club Car is the best built
    EzyGo best seller
    Yamaha best engine
    I bought a Club Car Tempo that was for commercial use. I wanted wet cell battery set up for more weight to provide a smoother ride and less chance of tipping over.
    Mine is a 2019 build for 2020 use.
    It has led lights and full wet weather skirts.
    I paid $9000 off a guy living in a 10klm max retirement village who had owned it for 9 months.
    If I were to sell it now I would be asking for $12000.
    My call
    Electric cart - Club Car
    Petrol - Yamaha

    How many rounds a week are you playing?

    Our Club offers a guaranteed cart (some conditions apply) for $1K + GST p.a. There is a waiting list for the offer because it works out cheaper and easier than owning you own if you play at least twice a week. Bonus for the club is it underwrites the cart purchase and they can buy more (within storage limits).

    That cart shed blocks my approach to the 18th green.

    The cars parked behind the green get in the way of mine

    Criticism doesn't bother me, as it means I am doing something and people are watching.

    I've got a 2012 Yamaha G29 Petrol.

    It hasn't missed a beat since I've owned it.
    Was originally a fleet unit at a large course.

    I'd be interested in upgrading soon, but cannot seem to locate one nearby. Big waiting list.

    I have a Yamaha petrol think it’s a 2011 model. Only ever had to replace the battery. They use bugger all fuel.
