STUDque Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 So I guess I'm directing this question at the spies that have either worked course or know a lot about how they're run. One of the nicer courses in my area just switched from electric to gas carts. Why? I would tend to think that charging electric carts is cheaper than buying gas right? Besides cost, they're so much cleaner and don't make as much noise rumbling around the course. I'm sure they've got less moving parts as well. I've seen power issues (when going uphill) with gas engines but never with electric. Why would they do this? It just really bums me out because that's one of the things I really liked about that course.

Golfspy_CG2 Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 You pretty much nailed all the reasons. Electric better performing and cheaper. We are stuck with Gas carts as our cart storage area is outside, so no where to really charge or keep away from the elements. I played two rounds this past week in electric carts and it was so much nicer and more efficient. You miss the gas carts? Well you'll get a chance to enjoy them next week then.

I understand limitations with housing and wiring hookups at your course but why switch back once the infrastructure is there? I don't really mind gas carts but I also Sony understand why a course would do something to make the expenses go higher.

Kenny B Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 My course replaced their fleet last year right after I joined the club. #1-54 are electric and #55-65 are gas. I much prefer the electric, but gas is OK; relatively quiet compared to gas carts are other courses in the area, probably because they are new. I do know that the front end is different. A friend of mine performs maintenance on them and said there are more, expensive parts on the front suspension of the gas carts; someone broke it. Also, they can use the gas carts to pull other carts. “We don’t stop playing the game because we get old; we get old because we stop playing the game.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shankster Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 Electricity is PFM. In my area with the super stupid high electric rates it probably would be more expensive to keep them charged. Gas go boom. It's $2.55 a gallon and it is full of ethanol. I imagine the maintenance of the gas engines vs an electric motor would end up being a wash. So, it probably came down to what kind of deal they could get. My old home course is a junky back yard place and they lease their carts, one year it is electric and the next could be gas. But I guarantee you they have whatever one was the cheapest hat year. Sent from my iPhone using MyGolfSpy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

downlowkey Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 It's certainly not exclusively the case but gas cart fleets are often utilized on layouts with severe grades (hilly). Be mindful that busy courses probably have to turn their carts for a second loop most days. It only takes 30 seconds to top off the petrol tank opposed to 8 hours for a full battery cycle charge. Steep grades eat up battery charge and can also cause electric motors to overheat. A new rack of batteries (x100) every 5-6 years is also a huge bill. I personally detest gas buggies. The delayed motion from start, they are loud, smelly and prone to backfire...don't get me started. Unfortunately, for certain topographical layout characteristics, they are the only way to reliably get your customers around the course.

STUDque Posted October 5, 2017 Author Share Posted October 5, 2017 Yeah I guess I didn't think about multiple loops. They probably get crushed on tournament days. The terrain only has 6ish sizeable hills and is otherwise flat but that still may be enough to drain the batteries to the point of needing a charge.

hckymeyer Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 Gas carts are usually cheaper up front, and the ease of recharge/refill is much quicker with gas. Most courses don't own the carts, they lease them. So depends on the length of lease terms and if it includes battery replacement. I would assume maintenance costs are lower with gas as well. A new set of batteries for a 48 volt cart starts around $800 and could be higher depending if it's 4 12 volt batteries or 6 8 volt batteries. Basically it's all cost. Usually gas is cheaper to lease and quicker to refill for a busy course. Plus at least here in MN we have to worry about cold weather. Nothing drains a battery faster than playing in 40-50 degree weather. In mid summer when it's 85 degrees I can play 54 on a charge. Come late Oct/Nov I can get in 18 and not much more.

Sent from my iPhone using MyGolfSpy yes, gas does have that advantage, we often have outings of 180 to 200 players and then have to turn around the carts that afternoon for public play. Gas carts it's not a problem, electric carts it would be. On that note, we played int 54 hole Solstice Survival at Musket Ridge in June, they have very nice electric carts. But as we came by the clubhouse around our 23rd hole, they had guys out with other carts standing by to swtich ours out, so they didn't die on us. It was like watching a NASCAR Pit Crew swithcing them out..ha Gas carts are usually cheaper up front, and the ease of recharge/refill is much quicker with gas.

Yamaha released in 2017 “quiet tech†cart and had carburetor or fuel injecton. I have the fuel injection model with the quiet tech. This cart is really quiet not as quiet as electric but close. It's also cleaner (no smell) and runs forever on a tank of gas. If this is the carts they switched to u may like them especially if hilly course, lots of torque.

ZenGolfer Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 Most likely they were able to buy the gas carts for cheap because no one uses them anymore. Given the choice, I prefer gas carts too simply because most gas carts are older now and electric ones are just nicer.

Rickp Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 Where I came from New England most courses leased carts buying didn't make sense. The vast majority were gas because of the topography of NE. A lot of courses you had to be 1\ 2 billy goat to play them electric couldn't cut it. Maintenance in most gas carts (Yamaha) is minor as they are just about bulletproof. Electric carts the battery life starts to drop after a while, not sure what that curve is. Now that I live in FL gas carts are more popular here because of range. Gas carts can go forever on 5 gal gas electric 40 miles then recharge. After a couple of years batteries need to be changed out and that cost can be $700-$1200 gas carts don't have that problem.

fozcycle Posted October 6, 2017 Share Posted October 6, 2017 My club in Tampa Florida(Pebble Creek) leases carts and the owner also has 3 other clubs. All switched from Electric to the Quiet Gas carts b6 Yamaha last year. If you have a 3 year lease then you usually do not have to replace the batteries. For leases longer you will be required to replace the batteries which cost around $1k per cart. The gas carts can be easily maintained and the overall cost for 5 years is much less than the Electric. I also play weekly at another club(city of Tampa course) which has electric carts. They chose to lease the new ones last year but had to do so without a windshield to keep the cost down. This now causes issues when it rains or when it occasionally gets cold in Tampa.....LOL. The Yamaha gas carts are more cost effective and can endure the club usage for 5 years thus helping to keep the cost of Golf down for our members and the public.

Rickp Posted October 8, 2017 Share Posted October 8, 2017 In our area there are a couple of businesses that have 24/7 cart service. They come and trailer you to somewhere you specify. Service also includes gas if you run out, flat repair etc. cost per year varies $35–$75 depending on service. Anyway I was talking to one of the owners of a company the other day and I asked him what carts break down the most? He said electric carts were his living, not sure the % but electric broke down lot more than gas carts.

10shot Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 Keep in mind electric motors require of course DC current from Batteries. Batteries don't fair well in cold weather and expand when hot, gas just keeps on rolling, of course if a jetted motor is used some minor maint as the weather changes will be needed.

When we play golf nearby we take a neighbors electric when we have a longer ride to a course we take the gas.We are talking about a second cart and if we do get another it would most likely be electric.
