An excellent pull-cart for the price
The cart works as described. It holds the golf bag securely once the straps are closed, and it is stable when being pulled over mounds and slopes. Unlike 3-wheel carts, it cannot be pushed in front of you very easily, but that is not its intent. The instructions don't show how to attach the fasteners to the straps, so it took me a little extra time to figure out how they went. If you want a pull cart and don't want to spend a lot of money, this is a fine choice.
Inexpensive and functional.
Not bad considering the price. Tipped over once on a steep hill while angling across. No problem going up or down.
Nice Cart for the Money!
I just received this cart but unfortunately I misinterpreted some other reviews indicating this was a good cart for a small bag. My son is a junior and has a bag that is smaller than normal. Your bag needs to be about 31+" high to fit on this cart. I'll pack it away for a couple of more years and go searching for a genuine "junior" sized cart. Seems like a great deal for the money however and a breeze to assemble in under 2 minutes.
Best inexpensive golf cart on the market
There are certainly nicer, higher end golf push carts around, but for a basic, lightweight inexpensive cart, this is the best I found on the market. Regarding the common complaint of the pencil holder being loose, it's true, but either just use the pencils with erasers that are a little thicker, or put a little tape around the pencil. Better yet, do what I did & spend $10 for the Android/iPhone app GolfCard & track your scores that way. The GPS accuracy is not perfect, but it will track your putts, GIRs, up & downs, clubs used & distances, etc. & even lets you wirelessly back up to your computer & upload scores to [...] in seconds & for free! Pros: inexpensive, lightweight, compact, rolls easily, includes free water bottle & holder. Cons: handle doesn't have a sturdy feel, pencil holder not snug, bag doesn't stay straight up so towels will drag & pockets become less accessible if you don't keep straps tight &/or straighten up bag occasionally, scorecard holder doesn't fit the size cards my courses (Chicago PD/Cook County FP) use. Overall, I definitely recommend this cart of the economical/casual golfer looking for a basic cart that will save them the cost of renting pull carts. This will pay for itself even if it were to only last 1 or 2 seasons, as long as you golf more than a few times a year.
Great cart for the money
You can't beat this cart for an inexpensive way to get around the course. Very light and stable and comes with features such as a score card holder, 2 ball holders, pencil and tee holders and folds easily with you bag attached. I found the straps that hold your bag are adequate and did not have a problem of my bag turning sideways as others experienced. You only have to attach the wheels, strap in your bag and your ready to go. The wheel attachment screws are already held by the frame so there are no parts to lose when assembeling. One somewhat confusing label by the wheel attachment states "warning-tighten to maximum" while the imprinted words on the tightener states "hand tighten only". I decided that "tighten to maximum" was the way to go and snugged it with a pair of pliers, being careful not to overly tighten and risk breaking.(A little more than hand-tighten). I can see where the scorecard holder may allow your card to fall out. A couple strips of velcro or rubber bands probably will help but have'nt tried this yet. The card holder assembly is held by three rivets which you could drill out and remove completely but you will lose the features of your 2 ball, pencil and tee holders.I can see that by snagging or banging the card holder on something in my trunk it will eventually break, crack or loosen. I noticed that the arm that holds the handle moves slightly up and down when the cart is all the way open. No big deal but I put a peice of duct tape over the post where you slide the square holder over to firm up the handle arm which solved that. I have used this cart 4 times with no stability problems and feel like it will hold up very well over time. Its a lot lighter to pull than my old cart and if you want a basic cart its well worth the money....
