Best Disc Golf Cart
I loved how easy it was to push/pull the cart around. It didn’t matter how many backup discs I crammed in my bag, nor how much extra food/water/accessories I wanted to take. The effort to move the cart around the course was the same. And it was minimal.
In this blog, I’ll discuss the cart options you have, and mention what I like and dislike about the cart.
Types of Disc Golf Carts
Disc golf carts generally fall into two categories: carts that require a separate bag and carts with built in disc storage. Carts that require a separate bag allow you to attach your current bag quickly, while carts with built in storage require you to move your discs into the cart, which can be inconvenient if you frequently play on courses that are not cart friendly.
Carts That Require an Additional Bag
ZUCA Trekker and Trekker LG Cart
The Trekker and Trekker LG are based on the ZUCA Backpack and Backpack LG. The Trekker uses a 22 inch axle and holds 20 to 25 discs, while the LG uses a 24 inch axle and holds up to 30 discs. Both include a telescoping handle and a built in seat rated for up to 300 pounds.
- Likes: Built in seat, no additional bag needed
- Dislikes: Requires a separate bag for non cart courses, takes up significant transport space
ZUCA Compact Cart
A smaller, lighter option for players who carry fewer discs. It uses a 22 inch axle and includes a built in seat, though it sits lower than other models.
- Likes: Easy to move, easy to transport, built in seat, low center of gravity
- Dislikes: Requires a separate bag for non cart courses, limited storage space
ZUCA All Terrain Cart
A larger version of the Compact Cart with space for up to 32 discs, additional pockets, and interior storage.
- Likes: Built in seat, plenty of storage
- Dislikes: Requires a separate bag for non cart courses
ZUCA Transit Cart
This model includes a built in disc bag with extra storage underneath, a 24 inch axle, and a built in seat. It holds up to 25 discs.
- Likes: Built in seat, extra storage
- Dislikes: Requires a separate bag for non cart courses, limited additional disc capacity
Frame Carts: Use Your Own Bag
Frame carts allow you to attach or insert your existing disc golf bag so your discs stay in the same place whether you are using the cart or carrying the bag. Some include seats while others do not, and they come in two, three, or four wheel designs.
ZUCA Backpack and Backpack LG
These carts include a seat, telescoping handle, and water bottle holders. All storage comes from your attached bag. The Backpack uses a 22 inch axle and the LG uses a 24 inch axle.
- Likes: Easy bag removal, built in seat
- Dislikes: Large for transport, requires a bag purchase, limited storage
MVP Rover 2 Cart
A compact, lightweight cart with water bottle holders and a telescoping handle. It has a low center of gravity but no seat.
- Likes: Easy bag removal, simple transport, good maneuverability
- Dislikes: Requires a separate bag, no seat
ZUCA EZ Cart
This cart includes a shelf for your bag and extra storage underneath but does not include a seat.
- Likes: Easy bag removal, extra accessory space, compact transport
- Dislikes: Requires a separate bag
Rovic RV1D 2.0
A foldable push cart originally designed for ball golf. It holds any disc golf bag and includes a locking brake, storage space, drink holders, and an umbrella holder. It struggles on uneven ground when pushed forward but pulls easily over rough terrain.
- Likes: Easy to push, many accessories available, compact when folded, convenient bag height
- Dislikes: Non pivoting front wheel, accessory costs, small water bottle holders
BagBoy Disc Golf Quad XL Push Cart
A four wheel push cart with excellent stability, built in storage, a drink holder, and an umbrella holder. A handle mounted brake keeps it secure on hills.
- Likes: Very stable, easy to push, higher bag position, built in accessory storage
- Dislikes: Expensive optional seat, pricey accessories, non pivoting front wheels, small bottle holder
How to Choose the Right Disc Golf Cart
To find the best cart for your needs, consider whether you mainly play on cart friendly courses, whether you have enough vehicle space, how much storage you want, whether you plan to use it for tournaments, your budget including accessories, and whether you want a seat during rounds. Once you answer these questions, you can narrow your options and choose the style and color that fit your preferences.
Final Thoughts
Many disc golfers who invest in a cart say they will never go back, and with all the benefits they offer, it is easy to see why. Use this guide to find the best cart for your game and explore the selection at Infinite Discs. We would love to hear from you. Do you use a cart, and if so, which one? If not, which cart seems like the best fit for your needs, or what keeps you from getting one?

I would definitely be interested in a cart as I have chronic fatigue and my wife needs to carry the disc bag for me. The issue is that they’re so expensive it’s just not worth the price. If there was a cheap option I’d be interested. I’d rather use something way cheaper that wasn’t really made for disc golf.
I would love a cart because I love to be the caddy for everyone and it would make me a better caddy!
I do not use a cart, but if I were to get one I would like the Zuca all terrain. It looks like it has everything I might need!
I have the Bag Boy Quad XL pro and love it. I toss with two others and they got their own. It’s so relaxing and easy to use.
When you carry all your discs, accessories, and beverages, hauling a backpack gets tiring, especially on courses where you don’t get back to the parking lot mid-round. (Flip City, Shelby MI)
The Quad folds down small, easy to carry, and just being to carry all my gear and push a cart with a push of a finger is a dream.
I’ve been disc golfing for over 20 years and wish I had this at year 1. Sure, it’s pricey, but considering how much I’m out there and how relaxed I am not carrying a backpack, it’s worth the cost.
Highly recommend.
I don’t have a cart, but I am cart-curious. I don’t carry a backpack, just my Rogue Iron satchel which holds 12 or so discs plus some small items. I’m not very good so it’s hard to justify getting a backpack and carrying more discs, but when I bring a disc retriever, a water bottle, and a folding stool a cart starts sounding pretty good.
I like the idea of a cart that includes a seat, and being able to bring a small cooler instead of a single water bottle would be nice!
What’s kept me from it is the expense, a certain amount of embarrassment (it seems like overkill for my game and the courses I usually play), and ignorance about carts and bags and how they work together. This article has certainly helped with the last of these – thanks for the primer!
I really enjoy my Zuca All-Terrain cart. It allows me to carry all the discs I need for a day on the course or tournament play. I also like having a seat whenever I want to sit down. Now that I’ve used a cart, I’m never going back.
