When shopping for a golf cart—whether for golf courses, resorts, gated communities, or industrial parks—one of the most important yet overlooked specifications is the width. The width of a golf cart directly affects its comfort, safety, and usability on different paths or storage spaces. As a leading golf cart and buggy manufacturer, Carnee Rides brings you a practical, easy-to-understand guide on golf cart width, with real-world sizing charts and expert tips for buyers.
For most standard two-seater golf carts, the width is about 48 inches (4 feet). This measurement generally refers to the widest point, including the wheels and fenders. However, there are variations:
2-Seater Standard Carts: 47–50 inches wide
4-Seater Carts: 48–54 inches wide
6-Seater and Limo Carts: Up to 60 inches or more
Example Golf Cart Widths by Brand/Model:

Maneuverability: A cart that’s too wide may have trouble on narrow golf paths or tight community roads.
Stability: Wider carts provide a more stable ride, especially when loaded with passengers or cargo.
Parking/Storage: Always measure your garage or designated storage area before purchase—many buyers overlook this.
Legal/Club Restrictions: Some golf courses or resorts restrict cart size, so always confirm local rules.
Seating Capacity: More seats = wider chassis
Brand and Model: Each manufacturer (Yamaha, EZGO, Club Car, etc.) offers unique sizing, even among similar seating
Tires and Accessories: Larger wheels or side accessories (like cargo beds or weather enclosures) can add extra width
Custom Modifications: Custom buggies may be built wider or narrower for specific purposes
1. Consider Your Environment:
Tight, winding paths or small storage sheds? Opt for a compact cart. Open spaces, commercial resorts, or group use? Go wider for comfort and stability.
2. Check Your Storage/Parking:
Measure doorways and parking spaces ahead of time to avoid any surprises.
3. Review Club or Neighborhood Rules:
Some communities or courses only allow carts under a certain width.
4. Think About Future Use:
If you might add accessories (mirrors, racks, weather guards), leave margin for extra width.
