Golf trolleys feel like they’ve been around since the invention of the wheel. Which is why electric golf trolleys felt like such a big deal to customers when they first appeared in the mid-80s.
But as technology has evolved, golf trolleys are arguably the part of the game that has benefitted the most, beyond golf clubs. Today, you’ll find a huge range of electric golf trolleys that not only function properly but are jam-packed with innovative features and many benefits that could revolutionise the way you play.

What advancements have been made in electric golf trolleys?
Responsive remote controls
You probably never imagined there’d be any similarities between a remote-controlled toy car and a golf trolley, yet here we are!
Many of the latest electric golf trolleys come with remote controls you can use to adjust the motion of your trolley without touching it at all - a far cry from traditional push trolleys whose core functionality depended entirely on the movement of the golfer.
With the remote, you can stop, start, adjust the angle and adjust the speed of your trolley for complete control and easy portability.
Electronic downhill controls
We’ve all been in the situation on the golf course when we’re faced with a steep hill to descend and it feels like our golf trolley is trying to escape us.
Worst case scenario: You let it slip and it tumbles all the way down the hill, leaving you to collect your scattered clubs along the way. Funny, but annoying.
But with many electric golf trolleys, you’ll find built-in downhill controls that sense the decline before adjusting the resistance level of the wheels accordingly, so it slows down exactly where it’s supposed to.
Not only does this save you energy, but it prevents the risk of injury from the trolley running away with you and causing a fall.
USB charging ports
Nowadays, there are few situations in life where a USB charging port doesn't come in handy. This now applies to your golf game, too!
You’ll find USB charging ports on select models of electric golf trolleys, allowing you to charge your electronic essentials conveniently while you squeeze in a few holes.
The trolley uses power from the battery (more on these in a moment) to keep your phones, smartwatches and any other devices powered up.
As well as being highly convenient, this could also come in handy in the event of an emergency and your phone has run out of charge - simply plug it into your golf trolley and you’re good to go.
High-capacity lithium batteries
Battery technology has come a long way in recent years, with lithium batteries taking centre stage in the golf trolley realm.
These batteries are far more efficient and eco-friendly than alternatives from just a few short years ago. Once upon a time, you used to be cautious with your electric trolley for fear it may not work correctly or run out of charge.
But today, you’ll find electric trolleys advertised as ‘18-hole’ or even ‘36-hole’ models. Meaning you could enjoy a full round, or two full rounds, all from a single charge.
Built-in golf GPS
Golf GPS systems are another eye-catching innovation that’s made waves in the sport in recent times.
These advanced pieces of kit offer incredibly accurate data, letting you make better decisions regarding which club to use at any given shot.
With a golf GPS trolley, you’ll know how far you are away from the pin at all times, as well as being treated to a colourful display of each hole, depending on the model. You’ll never be left wondering how far you’ll need to walk again.
