Is Your Golf Cart Ready for the Season?
The sun is shining, the course is calling, and the fairways are finally dry — that can only mean one thing: golf season is here. But before you load up your clubs and hit the greens, there’s one very important question to ask… is your golf cart ready to go? Whether you’re cruising the course or making the rounds through your neighborhood, your cart needs to be in top shape for wherever the season takes you
Your cart is just as important as your swing. Whether you’re a casual player, a neighborhood cruiser, or someone who relies on your cart for everyday use, making sure it’s in top condition can save you from breakdowns, safety issues, and expensive repairs down the road.
Here’s your step-by-step guide to getting your golf cart back in the game - and how Best Round Golf can help you every step of the way.
1. Check the Battery: Power Up the Right Way
Let’s start with the most important part - your battery. After months of downtime, batteries can lose power or develop buildup and corrosion. That can lead to poor performance, short drive times or worse - a cart that won’t start at all.
Here’s what to check:
-
- Battery charge level: Is it holding a full charge?
-
- Cables and connections: Are they tight, clean, and free from corrosion?
-
- Water levels (for lead-acid batteries): Do cells need to be topped off?
If your cart seems sluggish or won’t hold a charge, it might be time for a replacement - or at least a professional check. At Best Round Golf, we provide battery diagnostics, maintenance, and installation services for all makes and models.
And if you’re looking to upgrade we carry high-performance batteries that offer longer life and better reliability - especially for those who use their cart off the course.
2. Inspect the Tires and Wheels
After a long winter in storage your tires may not be in the best shape. Tires naturally lose air over time and sitting too long can create flat spots or dry rot.
Before you drive:
- - Check tire pressure and adjust to the manufacturer’s recommendation.
- - Look for wear and cracks in the tread or sidewalls.
- - Make sure all lug nuts are tightened securely.
Uneven wear can also be a sign of suspension or alignment issues which can affect how your cart steers and rides. At Best Round Golf, our team handles tire repairs, replacements, alignments and upgrades whether you’re riding on turf, pavement, or something in between. Want to change up the look? We also offer custom wheels and tires to match your style or terrain needs.
3. Test the Brakes and Safety Features
Safety isn’t something to take lightly - especially when your cart is cruising through tight turns, crowded neighborhoods or steep slopes.
Make sure to test:
- - Brake responsiveness: Do they feel spongy, squeaky or weak?
- - Lights and signals: Are headlights, taillights, and turn signals working properly?
- - Mirrors and seat belts: Are they secure and functional?
Brakes can wear down quietly, and failing to check them before the season can lead to accidents or costly repairs. At Best Round Golf we offer comprehensive brake inspections, replacements, and upgrades plus lighting and safety system installations if you’re looking to street-legalize your cart or just feel more secure on the road.
4. Give It a Good Cleaning and Visual Inspection
A clean cart not only looks better, it runs better. Dirt, debris, and grime can clog moving parts, wear down components, and even attract unwanted pests.
Be sure to:
- - Wash the exterior with gentle soap and water.
- - Clean under the seat and around the battery tray.
- - Check for rust or damage to the frame and body.
While you’re at it, inspect the suspension, steering, and axles for any signs of wear or looseness. If something looks or feels off, let our techs take a look. We offer seasonal checkups and maintenance packages to catch small issues before they become big ones.
5. Time for a Custom Upgrade?
The start of the season is the perfect time to ask yourself: Does your cart still fit your needs?
Whether you’re looking for better performance, more comfort, or a unique look Best Round Golf specializes in custom builds and upgrades like:
- - Lift kits
