5 push carts we love
There’s a reason more golfers are choosing to walk the course these days. You get more exercise, a better feel for the layout and, in many cases, you can enjoy a more relaxed pace that lets you enjoy the round instead of rushing through it. And, maybe best of all, no cart fee!
The only downside? Carrying your bag for four-plus hours can be a strain on your back and shoulders.
That’s where a good push cart comes in. Today’s models are lighter, fold smaller and include features like built-in storage, drink holders, umbrella mounts and simple one-step setups that make walking the course easier than ever. And while motorized push carts are gaining popularity, we’re sticking to human-powered models in this round-up (we’ll cover the motorized variety soon.)
Whether you’re looking for premium performance, a cart for rugged terrain or a cart that practically unfolds itself, we have you covered below.
These are five of the best push carts available now:
Bag Boy Nitron Push Cart
If there’s one push cart that’s become the top-pick for convenience, it’s the Bag Boy Nitron. Its nitrogen-powered auto-open mechanism unfolds in seconds with virtually no effort, making setup one of the easiest you’ll find. Lift and pop! It’s open. No screws or levers, just a simple motion and you’re ready to go. At just under 17 pounds, it’s surprisingly lightweight while remaining incredibly stable. Bag Boy’s Top-Lok system also securely locks compatible golf bags into place, eliminating bag twist during your round.
1 thing we really like: The auto-open system is genuinely satisfying!
The Nitron push cart pairs instant setup with dependable stability and plenty of on-course convenience.

Big Max Blade Trio
If storage space is at a premium, the Big Max Blade Trio deserves a serious look. Its innovative flat-fold design folds down smaller than almost any push cart on the market, making it easy to fit in even the most crowded trunk. Despite its smaller size, it rolls smoothly and provides the stability and storage golfers expect from a premium push cart. Comes in different colors, too.
1 thing we really like: If you have a small trunk, this push cart folds down to save as much room as possible.
