A work brand wearing a golf cart label
Set expectations up front: Cushman has not built a traditional course cart in decades. Part of the Textron and E-Z-GO family and made in Augusta, Georgia, the modern Cushman is about work, hauling cargo, moving crews, and running food and beverage on courses and resorts. Search for a Cushman golf cart, and you are really looking at commercial-grade utility vehicles. The bonus is that Cushman dealers share parts and a service network with EZGO, so support is broader than the brand’s size suggests.
Haulers, Shuttles, and Refreshers explained
Cushman organizes the range by the job it does. Configurations vary widely, so confirm pricing with a dealer.
- Hauler series: The workhorses, including the Hauler 800, 1200, the off-road X versions, the Hauler PRO, and the Hauler XL. Gas models start around $7,900, lithium runs into the mid-teens, and the Elite Lithium XL lists near $15,199.
- Shuttle series: People movers in 2, 4, 6, and 8 passenger layouts for guests and staff at resorts, campuses, and large properties.
- Refresher series: Food and beverage carts built for course and event service.
Payload, lithium power, and proven duty
These carts are made to be loaded and run hard. Many offer the ELiTE lithium powertrain on Samsung SDI cells, payloads up to about 1,000 to 1,200 pounds, and a working range near 50 miles, while the Hauler PRO LSV adds a street-legal package at up to 25 mph. Cushman equipment shows up at serious operations, including courses like Pebble Beach, which tells you where it earns its keep. The trade-off is plain: this is a utility machine, not a comfortable personal cruiser.
Buying a Cushman fleet through a commercial dealer
Fleet and property buyers should treat the dealer as a long-term partner. Ask a Cushman dealer or Textron service shop about lead times on the Hauler or Shuttle build you need, the lithium versus gas decision, bed and payload options, and service contracts that keep a working fleet running. Course and turf crews lean to the Hauler line, resort to the Shuttle line, and road-crossing crews to the Hauler PRO LSV. For personal neighborhood driving, a passenger-cart dealer is the better call.
