I live in flagstaff Az. I am looking for a push cart .  I think I would like a four wheels cart that  folds up small. Please give me some recommendations, pros and cons on carts you might have? 
Thanks Derek

Most here are 3 wheel options, however there are several 4 wheel options to check out.

I am a clicgear fan, but again 3 wheels. Haven't used many 4 wheel or seen many around me, but either way let us know if any of these may suit you or how you make out!

^^ That's probably the best resource to make your decision. I have the BagBoy Triswivel II and highly recommend it. I wasn't sure what to make of the swiveling front wheel, but now that I've used one for several years - it's great. I would think a 4 wheeler would be less maneuverable, but someone else might chime in.

I know lots of people with Clicgear carts, and they're solid high quality too, worth the premium cost. I don't know anything about Rovic, but MGS has never steered me wrong - never.

Carts are worth what you pay for them IME, I wouldn't go cheap if you intend to use it often.

I've had a Rovic RV1S Golf Push Cart for about a year and half.  It's a three wheel cart with an enabled swiveling front wheel for maneuverability.  I like the folded compact size and the ease of getting it around on the course.  Folding it and opening it up can be a little challenge at first, but it gets much easier the more you do it.   Another positive is the long list of accessories that Clicgear has for its push carts.  I purchased the larger cup holder (XL), umbrella angle adjuster, steering knob, spacer and wheel covers.  There are a host of accessories to make you walking and golfing experience even better. 

With a retail of $259, it falls in the middle of the push cart price range.  

The Rovic is a great little push cart and I would recommend it highly!

Highly recommend the clicgear 4.0.  I love it.  But as said above, it is a 3 wheel cart.  It folds up nicely, and is a nice easy push across the course, even up and down hills.

I've had Clickgear by Dicks Sporting Goods, 3 wheel. It was alright, had a difficult time getting replacement parts if something breaks. So switched to Bag Boy Quad XL Push Cart last year (2021) and really like it.  It folds up nice & compact. Easy to push, brake is is good too.  Bag Boy has accessories & replacement parts available.  Although Haven't needed any replacement parts yet! LOL.  Overall, it was worth the $259!

I’ve also got the BagBoy Quad XL and really like it. It folds up pretty compact. (The store actually let me take it out and put it in my truck to see…) I went w the four wheeler because I am often on side hills, and it’s not going to turn and go down on its own.  Just thought it was more stable.  What I have come to reallly like is the little pouch that hangs under the “handle bar” where I can shove stuff like balls, a pull over, etc; and the “dashboard” on top that flips open to hold extra scorecards, tees, etc. And of course the all important drink holder.  it folds up small enough that they sell a bag you can put it in - which I highly recommend. Keep those grass clippings from spreading all over the trunk of your car.

I have used a CaddyTech 3 wheel push cart for several years and highly recommend it.  At the time of purchase, the CaddyTech was considerably less expensive than the comparable ClickGear model.  Does anyone know if the 4 wheel models require more effort to push?

I found a Sun mountain micro cart locally for $40.00. I purchased it and am going to give a try. Thanks everyone for your input and suggestions

Sorry I missed this thread earlier.  Good choice!  My wife and I both have SM Micro carts; bought them in 2014 and still working fine.  I bought them because I could get both carts and bags in my trunk without putting the rear seat down.

Any board feedback on Wishbone One?  Weighing in at 9 pounds,  I think ClicGear is about 18 pounds. 

I ended up buying the electric version of the Wishbone (I think it's called NEO). It is bulky and heavy, similar to Mottocaddy, but my wife insisted in getting a motorized version.
I tried the Wishbone One at a local pro shop and while it is very light (easy on the back when loading/unloading) I think it's not as compact as the Clicgear, so it comes down to the size of your trunk.

Might have been a supply chain thing but from their website just ordered parts for my Clicgear 3.5+ and received them about 1 week from order date with shipping across the country.  Long wear on the Clicgear so far without issues and the parts I ordered were to get the order up to free shipping for the wheels cover to keep the trunk neat after playing a round when wheels cannot be cleaned adequately packing up.  I don't immediately need the parts and they are for what looks like might need repair in the next year or two...   Having spares on-hand is something intrinsic to my sailing experience.  My first pull cart was a Bag Boy and so old I have never seen another like it or found a single photo of one online.  Served me well until the plastic wheels suffered irreparable damage.

Know this thread is OBE by now but wanted to weigh in with kudos to Bag Boy.  As mentioned above they are great about having spare part to send if you need one.  I've had the original quad 4 wheel for a while now for close to 10 years (and play easily in excess of 100 rounds a year, nice to be retired).  Outstanding cart if you are looking for a 4 wheeler.

Anyway brake cable finally snapped this past week so I called Bag Boy for a replacement.  Unfortunately due to the age they did not have any replacements available.  However, they did hook me up with a new cart at a decent price (less than I could get it locally/online).

Late to the discussion… I think I’ve had every mass market domestic model available. But I’m often interested in engineering and cool design so currently have some options that are rarely mentioned. First is the Walker trolley. A cool story and a really interesting cart. Total retro vibe that gets endless interest  when I use it - and when matched up with a retro bag - vintage cool. But the engineering is sneaky cool as well - it’s worth a look even though it costs more than most competitors. Superb support and the respond to comments and suggestions faster than most.  Next - last year i saw an article about push carts in a UK golf magazine. Having lived in Ireland and played throughout Europe, push carts are far more common than here in North America, so opinions from that part of the world on the topic I are usually interesting. In that article I saw this funky new model called Kaddey. Cool, quirky, and ridiculously functional, it straps to your bag and easily allows the cart and bag combo to be conveniently stored in your trunk as a single unit. Wheels pop off, frame folds and amazingly compact solutions for the trunk slammers amongst us. In use it is also crazy good - two are helped, tilt design, it has crazy good balance and is far easier to push than most similar rickshaw type carts. A little Expensive but again, gets tons of interest when I used it .  Just sharing an alternative view for those with a quirky inclination or who favours some cool engineering.

I've also gone through my share of push carts over the years, all of the 3-wheel type. Not impressed at all with ClicGear, seemed like I had to replace just about everything on it over a 3 year period. The aluminum round bar connected to each wheel broke on each wheel (at different times), sucks when it happens when you're a long way from the clubhouse, the wheel folds up making the cart inoperable. Have a Sun Mountain, maybe the best rolling cart but their brake design is terrible, the brake cable is under stress when the brake is disengaged, which is about 99% of the time, and the cable will eventually break, had to replace mine 3 times, it's now my spare cart. My latest and favorite is a Caddytek, rolls nice, excellent storage compartments, and no issues after 3 years. I play about 3X/week on a desert style course so it is tough on carts, a lot of rough (non-grass) terrain to go over.

I've got a BagBoy Quad XL at my lake place, and a BagBoy Nitron at home.  I love them both, and I don't find the 4 wheels hinders agility at all.

 

I use bags (Datrek) with Top Lok, and the no twist fit with no straps is something I can't live without now.

 

IMO the bag "fitting" your cart is going to be the biggest factor, as all the to brand carts roll smooth and have great "consoles" 

Last year's sticks with no-strap goodness.

I got a CaddyTek 11.5 for xmas last year and it's been great. I used to walk back in the day and carry my bag, but with torn PCL in my right knee it can cause pain to carry the extra weight. The cart works with either my large staff bag or my hybrid 5 stand bag. It's stable and easy to push.

I'd recommend a Bag Boy Quad-XL. I've had one for 5 years and I play 3 times a week. It has served me well during that time.
