Club Car Golf Carts — 2025 Complete Model Guide
Club Car is the prestige brand of the golf cart world — built in Augusta, Georgia since 1958. Their reputation for build quality, aluminum frame durability, and resale value is earned over decades of production and a massive installed base.
If you're shopping Club Car, you're shopping one of the most battle-tested brands in the category. Here's what you need to know about their current lineup.
Why Club Car Commands a Premium
Aluminum frame. This is the biggest structural differentiator. While most competitors (EZGO TXT, many import brands) use steel frames that eventually rust, Club Car's aluminum frame will not corrode. In Florida, coastal environments, and humid climates, this matters enormously over a 10-year ownership period.
Parts availability. Club Car parts are available from dealers, aftermarket suppliers, and sources globally. A 1990 Club Car can still be fully rebuilt with readily available parts.
Resale value. Club Car holds value better than any other brand in the segment. A 6-year-old Onward in good condition commands 60–65% of its original price. Comparable EZGO or Yamaha might fetch 50–55%.
Service network. Club Car has the second-largest authorized dealer network in the US (behind EZGO), with well-trained certified technicians.
