The brand other golf carts get measured against
Club Car is the name most people picture when they hear golf cart. Founded in 1958 and built in Augusta, Georgia, it spent more than six decades earning that reputation, and it remains one of the three brands, with EZGO and Yamaha, that define the market. It now belongs to Platinum Equity, which kept manufacturing in Augusta and the dealer network intact. For buyers who want a refined cart with strong resale, a Club Car dealer is a natural first stop.
Onward, Tempo, Villager, and Carryall, by job
Club Car splits its range by use, and pricing runs wide across the lineup.
- Onward, from about $9,475: The flagship personal cart, in two, four, and six passenger versions, gas or electric, with a 2026 update that adds wireless phone charging, USB-A and USB-C ports, and a 7-inch display on premium trims.
- CRU, up to about $24,334: The street-legal neighborhood model for full road use.
- Tempo and Precedent: Fleet and course carts, the carts you ride at most country clubs.
- Villager: Six and eight-passenger people movers for resorts, campuses, and communities.
- Carryall: The utility line, with an aluminum chassis, a long cargo bed, and gas or electric power for work sites.
The aluminum frame and why resale stays strong
Club Car’s signature is the AlumiCore aluminum frame, and it runs across the entire lineup rather than as a paid upgrade. Aluminum does not rust, which matters in coastal and wet climates and is a big reason Club Car holds its resale value better than steel-framed rivals. The frame also flexes for a smoother ride and is built to outlast steel. The trade-off is price, since Club Car usually costs more upfront than value brands, but buyers often make some of that back at resale.
Buying a Club Car through a local dealer
Club Car’s long-running dealer network is one of its advantages, so the shop you choose is part of the value. Ask the Club Car dealer about in-stock Onward trims, gas versus electric and lithium, current pricing, and whether they handle the CRU if you need full street-legal use. Personal buyers look at the Onward, fleets at the Tempo and Precedent, and work sites at the Carryall. With aluminum frames and a deep parts network, a Club Car bought from a solid dealer is built to stay on the road for years.
