Best Disc Golf Cart

Over the past decade, disc golf carts have gained significant popularity. With more companies entering the market, players now have a wide range of options to choose from. Disc golfers at all skill levels, from casual players to seasoned professionals, have embraced the convenience of using a cart whenever possible. These carts help conserve energy, reduce repetitive strain, and provide extra space for discs, snacks, water, and other accessories. They make a round of disc golf more comfortable and enjoyable.

As a dedicated cart user, I’m often surprised that more people haven’t jumped on board. Maybe this blog will change that! You can also click here to check out the top-selling carts.

In this article, I’ll go over the different types of carts available and discuss their pros and cons. That way, you can find the one that best fits your specific needs and playing style.

Different Types of Carts

I like to categorize carts based on whether they require an additional bag for disc storage. Some carts are designed to hold an existing bag, while others have built-in shelves for your discs.

For carts that require a separate bag, you simply attach your current bag to the cart, which is typically quick and easy. Some models allow you to leave the bag attached while transporting, while others require separate storage for the bag and cart.

For carts with built-in disc storage, you’ll need to transfer your discs from your bag to the cart. If you frequently play on courses that aren’t cart-friendly, you’ll find yourself switching discs between the cart and your bag often.

Carts That Require an Additional Bag

ZUCA Trekker and Trekker LG Cart

These carts are based on the ZUCA Backpack and Backpack LG models. The ‘LG’ stands for Large, meaning it’s slightly bigger than the standard Trekker. The Trekker has a 22” axle and can hold 20-25 discs, while the LG has a 24” axle and holds up to 30 discs. Both feature a telescoping handle and a built-in seat that supports up to 300 lbs.

• Built-in seat
• No additional bag needed

Cons:

• Requires a separate bag for non-cart courses
• Takes up significant space for transport

Frame Carts – Use Your Own Bag

Finding the Right Cart for You

To choose the best cart, consider:

• Do you mainly play on cart-friendly courses?
• Do you have enough vehicle space for a cart?
• How much extra storage do you need?
• Will you use it for tournaments?
• What’s your budget, including accessories?
• Do you need a seat during rounds?

Answering these questions will help narrow your choices. From there, you can consider styles and colors that suit your preference.
