Solo Rider Golf Cart

L.A. Nickell has a solo rider golf cart for golfers with limited mobility issues. This cart gives golfers with limited mobility the ability to drive on sensitive areas such as tees and greens without damaging the turf. The golf cart’s seat swivels 350 degrees, allowing golfers to easily exit and enter the golf cart. Plus, golfers are able to swivel and make a golf swing from the seated position. It is recommended that you give 48 hours notice when renting the solo rider golf care to ensure it is completely charged and ready for use. For more information or to reserve the single rider cart for use, call (573) 874-7538 or (573) 874-7539. Weather or course conditions may affect use.
