Complete the setup

Pair it with the right golf bag

The bag decides whether pockets stay reachable and whether clubs rattle all round. We matched five Bag Boy and Datrek bags to the carts they fit best — and buying both in one holiday sale is the highest-value gift on the site.

Best Overall

Bag Boy Chiller Hybrid Stand Bag

A light stand bag with an insulated cooler pocket and a cart-friendly base, so it works walking or strapped down.

Best Cooler Bag

Bag Boy Chiller Pro Cart Bag

The cart-bag version of the Chiller: a big insulated cooler pocket, cart-friendly base and pockets that all face you when it is strapped down.

Best for Push Carts

Bag Boy Defender Cart Bag

Built around cart use: every pocket faces forward so nothing is buried once the bag is strapped down.

Questions

Push cart buying FAQ

Is a golf push cart a good Christmas gift?

Yes, especially for golfers who walk. It is a practical upgrade most golfers put off buying for themselves, which makes it an ideal gift. Pick a model based on their bag size and how they transport it.

Three wheels or four?

Three-wheel carts are lighter and more nimble. Four-wheel carts are more stable on slopes and better for heavy cart bags. If they play a hilly course or use a large bag, go four wheels.

When do golf push carts go on sale?

The deepest discounts of the year typically land between Black Friday and Cyber Monday, with a second wave in the days before Christmas shipping cutoffs. We update our deals page as prices change.

Do Bag Boy carts fit any golf bag?

Bag Boy carts fit stand bags and cart bags. Very large staff bags are best on a four-wheel model such as the Quad XL.
