Accessories are an easy way to boost the comfort, performance, versatility, or even style of a golf cart. There are many add-on accessories to consider, so we gathered up the essential upgrades below. 

If you have any questions or want to explore golf carts for sale, head over to Golf Cart Depot. We offer dealerships in Land O' Lakes and Clearwater, Florida, and we also serve those in St. Petersburg and Lakeland.

1. All-Terrain Tires

Standard golf cart tires are designed for smooth paths, such as the trails found around a golf course. But a golf cart is capable of exploring so much more. A simple tire swap can allow the vehicle to venture into new places, such as the beach. You'll need all-terrain tires, which offer the larger sizing and deeper tread needed to handle trickier routes.

2. A Lift Kit

Before you install all-terrain tires, you will need to get a lift kit. These kits add two to six inches of lift to the golf cart, allowing the space needed to accommodate larger tires. Plus, the extra lift leads to a smoother riding experience.

3. A Golf Car Enclosure

Even in Florida, it's not always clear skies and sunshine. Rainy days happen and can make a golf cart ride quite unpleasant. That's where a golf cart enclosure enters the picture. This handy upgrade wraps around the vehicle, leaving a comfortable atmosphere inside. Enjoy riding around town even if the weather is less-than-ideal. It'll feel just fine inside the enclosure!

4. A Rear Flip-Seat Kit

If your golf cart only fits a smaller number of passengers, expand its rider capacity with a rear flip-seat kit. Most golf carts are compatible with this aftermarket accessory. It can be converted into more seating or converted into a flat surface for storing items, whichever your trip needs most.

5. LED Lights

Most golf carts do not use LED lights as the standard lighting option. Other bulb lights are more affordable for the manufacturer to use, which helps keep the sticker prices of models lower for the consumer. But making the switch to LED lights offers many perks. These bulbs last longer, which saves you money in the long-term. They also burn less power while giving off a stronger light. LED lights help you see and be seen better, which keeps you safer.

6. A Tire Pressure Gauge

Improperly inflated tires are problematic. They reduce the vehicle's fuel efficiency, get worn down faster, and face a higher chance of a blowout. A tire pressure gauge provides an easy way to measure the golf cart's tires. Then, you'll know whether you need to make any adjustments.

7. Gloves

There's a reason so many golfers use gloves! This useful accessory protects hands from painful blisters during a round of golf. They can also keep hands cozy on colder days, especially when the wind picks up.

8. Insect Repellent

This is a must-have item to keep in a golf cart. Pesky insects can be quite the distraction in a golf game - and even cause itching or irritation if they bite you. A quick spritz of insect repellent can help deter them from approaching your group, leaving you all in peace.

9. A Cooler

After several hours in the sun, an ice cold drink is very refreshing. Attach a cooler to your golf cart so you can keep drinks and snacks fresh. You can even use a cooler to store golf balls.
