You’ll Never Look at Golf Carts the Same: 7 Wild Ways People Are Using Them Beyond the Golf Course
Out here in the Coachella Valley, golf carts aren’t just for the course anymore. In fact, around Palm Desert, they’ve become a way of life and for good reason. They’re quiet, eco-friendly, affordable to run, and seriously fun to drive. But if you think they’re just for golfers, think again.
Here are 7 surprising and wildly creative ways people are using golf carts in Palm Desert and surrounding communities:
1. Community Cruising
In neighborhoods like Palm Desert Country Club, The Grove, Whitehawk, and Belmonte Estates, golf carts are the go-to for quick trips to the clubhouse, neighbor visits, or sunset rides with lifted wheels and upgraded sound systems, they’re basically the desert version of a convertible.
2. Wedding & Event Shuttles
Desert weddings are hot (literally), and golf carts are the VIP transport of choice. Couples customize carts to match their wedding theme, and guests love the breezy, scenic ride between venues.
3. Resort & Hotel Transportation
Many high-end resorts across Palm Desert use golf carts to chauffeur guests between spa appointments, pools, and rooms. It’s the luxe touch visitors remember.
4. Game Day with the Firebirds
As the official golf cart provider for the Coachella Valley Firebirds, we couldn’t leave this one out. Our carts help transport gear, staff, and even Fuego the mascot himself at Acrisure Arena. Talk about riding in style!
5. Mobile Business Units
Some local entrepreneurs are taking their business on the go with custom carts turned into mini juice bars, merch booths, and flower stands. All-electric and eye-catching.
6. Campus & Community Volunteering
From helping seniors get around community centers to powering neighborhood watch patrols, golf carts are making a real difference where it counts.
7. Just for Fun!
Let’s be honest: sometimes the best use is no use at all. Whether it’s a twilight drive through your gated community or a ride to brunch on El Paseo, nothing beats cruising with the music up and the breeze blowing.
