The humble push cart has come a long way in its evolution from a mere metal framed contraption to the impressive electric trolleys we see for sale in golf shops today. No longer is age or fitness a barrier, the introduction of the electric golf trolley means that all women with the stamina to walk 9 or 18 holes can have the joy of playing this game. The electric trolley does the hard work for us on the course, taking away the dread of having to carry a heavy bag around, particularly in the heat or on courses with lots of elevation changes. Many of the best women’s golf bags on the market are extremely light however so carrying for 9 holes for some extra fitness shouldn’t be an issue.
Many of us in the GM office certainly can’t imagine life without our trusty powered trolley, especially when playing in 36-hole tournaments or competing over several days. The life of the battery is one of the key criteria that’s important. Other factors include price, the “golf gadgets” that tech-savvy women may enjoy as added features and of course the weight of the trolley as you’ll be lifting in and out of your car. Having an electric trolley will help you carry some essential golf accessories around the course without having to worry about additional weight. Narrowing down the right electric trolley for you isn’t always easy, so after testing many different models, we’ve put together this handy buyer’s guide for females to help you decide.

Quick List
The Golfstream Blue is one of the best-value electric trolleys on the market right now. The back-to-basics mantra behind the Blue will suit a lot of golfers who simply want a trolley that does the basics.
The MGI ZIP Navigator is a well-rounded remote electric trolley. It is well built, responsive and stable but more than anything it is good fun to use out on the course.
The M5 GPS combines Motocaddy’s reliability and practical features – like the Easilock base – with a crystal clear screen that houses the impressive moveable pin position pointer.
A comprehensive and enjoyable remote-controlled golf trolley. The remote control functionality works as well as ever and the Performance Plan makes for a class-leading GPS experience.
The Q Follow looks to have become the leader in electric trolley design and functionality. Ultimately, it's great fun to use and with practice the switching between modes and use of the handset becomes second nature.

Golfstream Blue Electric Trolley
Specifications
Reasons to buy
Reasons to avoid
For any golfer looking for a trolley that’s easy and simple to use, this Golfstream design could be the ideal match. Made to be exceedingly user-friendly, this ultra lightweight trolley comes already fully assembled, meaning that once it’s out of the box it’s ready to go in seconds. The folding system it features is a simple one-step process, with the push of a button instantly collapses it into a folded state, with an in-built magnet holding the folded down trolley securely in place.
Due to the fact it’s designed to be simple, this trolley doesn’t come with many features. For example most of the best electric golf trolleys include a basic screen showing you things like speed and battery charge. However, the Blue has done away with this feature and instead boasts a dial which can be pushed in to turn on and off and turned clockwise or anti-clockwise for changing speed. It comes, as standard, with an 18-hole lithium CaddyCell LifePO4 battery which, when compared to its competitors like the PowaKaddy FX3 or Motocaddy S1 looks a bit rudimentary. That said, the no-fuss experience that this good value trolley offers sets it apart from the other models within our guide.

MGI Zip Navigator Remote Electric Trolley
Specifications
Reasons to buy
Reasons to avoid
Next on the list we have the Zip Navigator from MGI which comes with a remote control, along with a number of other clever design features. One fantastic design concept that the remote has is a ‘lock’ button that prevents any buttons being accidentally pressed while in your pocket. Another handy feature designed to save space, is the smart wheel setup; this trolley’s wheels can be inverted when folded down, making it more compact and easier to store.
Of course, the star of the show is the stability. When tested across various types of terrain, the stability of this trolley appeared unparalleled, and all thanks to the rear 4th wheel which ensures that trolley doesn’t tip backwards when traveling up a steeper incline. To help with downhill stability, this trolley also features downhill speed control, which prevents it traveling too quickly down steeper hills.
The T-Bar handle, which you can use to control the trolley with, has a fairly humble display, which shows the speed, battery charge, and the number of yards covered. Admittedly, it’s not as flashy as other electric trolleys on the market, but it does the job. All in all, this trolley is a very well rounded offering at a fairly competitive price.

Motocaddy M5 GPS Trolley
Specifications
Reasons to buy
Reasons to avoid
We test a lot of Motocaddy products at Golf Monthly and we always find the performance is pretty much at the top end of the golf trolley market. This is the same again with the M5 GPS Trolley.
This trolley features a hi resolution 3.5 inch LCD display which is also touchscreen, and can be used in all conditions and with gloves as well. On the screen it will give you yardages, track your score, and advise on how long your round has taken. On the screen you are also able to amend pin positions this will help improve the yardage accuracy and improve your strategy when playing the hole.
The M5 is powered by a 28.8V drive system that you get on all the M-series trolleys this helps to improve efficiency and performance reliability, this also means getting hold of new batteries, chargers and getting repairs is easier with a standard drive system across the range. With the M5 trolley you can fold this up to fit in your car like other trolleys but you do not have to remove the battery for this one. With all the features packed into this trolley you would think the battery life would be poor on this trolley but, when we tested it this was not the case.
One minor point that may be seen as negative for this trolley is that the folding latches are a little stiff. These will likely loosen up over time, and as you get more used to the trolley you will get the trolley out and erect in seconds to get your playing under way in quick time.

Motocaddy M7 GPS Electric Trolley
Specifications
Reasons to buy
Reasons to avoid
If you’re looking for a trolley that will wow you, the M7 GPS from Motocaddy could be a good option. In terms of golf carts, this happens to be one of the most exciting designs on the market thanks to the wide array of features it offers, from its comprehensive GPS stems to its remote control functionality. The handle boasts a 3.5” touchscreen which shows all of the key GPS information needed for your round, with the design working seamlessly in even the wettest of weather.
It offers front, middle, and back distance to the green, as well as dynamic green view and easy-to-use drag and drop pin placement. This tech-heavy trolley also features yardages to hazards, shot distance tracking, and a handy scorecard tracker. It’s a really great piece of kit that we thoroughly enjoyed testing.
When put to the test, the remote functionality worked well, proving to be easy to master and seamless to use. Controlled via a small-sized remote, which is both responsive and easy-to-use, it’s not difficult to see why this trolley has become such a popular choice for women golfers. We loved walking behind the trolley and were reassured by the responsiveness of the remote and the Down Hill Control on offer too, that will keep the trolley going steady up and down the golf course.
The most impressive part of this electric trolley design isn’t the bells and whistles, it’s the fact it gets the basics right. Plus, it’s compact and easy-to-fold, thanks to its convenient folding system that’s ultra simple to work, making it ideal for anyone who’s looking to save space. We felt it could easily hold its own against some of the most compact golf trolleys on the market.

Stewart Golf Q Follow Trolley
Specifications
Reasons to buy
Reasons to avoid
Seeing as Stewart Golf has been making some of the best electric golf trolleys for years, it should come as no surprise that the Q Follow trolley is on this list. With a brand new frame design, which features a rather swarve marble-effect finish, that can be folded down far more compactly than its predecessor, it’s certainly a good choice for anyone looking for a space-saving trolley to stash in their car. Despite having an integrated handle to make it easier to lift, it’s worth noting that this design is fairly heavy compared to some of the other options in our guide.
But what’s great about this trolley is the fact that it can follow you around the course, thanks to the unique functionality built into the Bluetooth handset that comes with it. For anyone who isn’t keen to push a trolley as they play, or finds pushing a trolley too strenuous, this remote-controlled design is a great option.
Featuring a new retractable stabilizer, that comprises of two wheels and automatically deploys as the trolley is unfolded, this trolley is a great choice for anyone whose priority is stability. Thanks to the unique design, the trolley remains upright and stable regardless of terrain, with the wider front wheel base and overall design meaning it seems to hug the ground more fiercely, ensuring that you don’t need to worry about it tipping over.

Motocaddy S5 GPS Electric Trolley
Specifications

Reasons to avoid
For any golfer who’s into their gadgets, the S5 GPS from Motocaddy is a great trolley choice. Boasting a range of exciting features, it’s sure to be a hit with anyone who loves tech or is crazy about testing out all the best golf accessories available.
One of the most sought-after features of the S5 is the one-step folding system that quickly transforms the trolley into a compact shape. Of course, it’s slightly larger than some of the other trolleys on the list, which is something to keep in mind if space is limited. That said, one of the great things about this particular folding trolley is the fact that you can charge the trolley’s lithium battery even when the cart is folded down.
The assembly process for this cart is extremely user-friendly. All you need to do is press the blue button on the chassis and the S5 conveniently pops up in one swift movement. One thing to note is that it does have a slightly larger footprint than some other women’s trolleys, so golfers wanting something more compact may want to consider other options. That said, it’s this larger footprint that makes it extremely stable, allowing it to perform seamlessly on various terrain types.
Then there’s the technology on offer in this cart, which we must say is pretty impressive. Featuring a fully integrated GPS system that can be easily access via a 3.5” touchscreen, which includes Dynamic Green View that matches the hole being played, as well as providing accurate yardages to each point on the course.

Motocaddy M3 GPS Electric Trolley
Specifications
Reasons to buy
Reasons to avoid
After testing, we found that the M3 GPS electric trolley, which comes with a super clear 2.8” touchscreen complete with 40,000 pre-loaded courses, could be a great choice for newcomers to the trolley game. Alternatively, the M3 could also be a great choice for golfers looking for a premium product that comes at a more affordable price point.
Like all good electric trolleys, the M3 has a range of stand-out features, one of which being how compact it is when folded down, as well as how simple it is to fold. It’s so simple: pull two latches, lift the handle up, close the latches, and it's good to go. Plus, the front wheel automatically moves into position when opening and closing too, which is handy.
What we loved about this design (aside from how easy to fold it was), when we tested it out, was how seamless it was to fit into a small trunk once folded down, particularly as the wheels can be inverted or removed to help save additional space.

PowaKaddy RX1 GPS Electric Trolley
Specifications
Reasons to buy
Reasons to avoid
The final trolley for this guide is the RX1 GPS by PowaKaddy. In terms of responsiveness this is one of the best we have tested recently, and to add to it, it looks great too. The stealthy matte finish features a little pop of yellow for the detailing, and it makes it one of the best looking trolleys you can get.
Staying on the premium theme for this trolley that also transfers to the 3.5 inch touchscreen which is full-color and can be used to operate the GPS system on the trolley. You will as standard get the front, middle and back yardages to the green, you can also see and get yardages to the hazards that are on the hole you are playing. The GPS system allows the hole layout to auto switch to the next hole once you make the next tee, this reduces the amount of fiddling around you have to do on the screen and is great in case you forgot to change the holes. Another brilliant feature is the digital scorecard function, this allows you to keep score directly through your trolley and you can drop a pin where the flag is for more accuracy on yardages.
When we tested this trolley we loved the remote functionality that this trolley offered. This trolley has some serious PowaKaddy Tech such as Slope Traverse Assist, this keeps the trolley going in a straight line when you are navigating steeper gradients. There is also a built in braking system which is a welcome addition for those worried about runaway trolleys.
Finally, the trolley is easy to pack away which is what you want with a folding trolley, but bear in mind that this trolley does come in at the heavier side being 14kg. Overall the RX1 GPS really gives you everything you want with a what we think make the best golf carts.

How we test
When it comes to testing golf gear, let alone golf trolleys and carts, Golf Monthly has a comprehensive testing procedure built around using the products properly, thoroughly, and over a number of rounds and golf experiences. That way we can produce proper reviews that help you make an informed decision regarding possibly buying a certain model. For our Women based buying guides such as this one, our female staff writers conduct testing and offer their opinion on what our female readers want to know. Getting down to specifics, we should first say that no manufacturer can pay for a good review, we just give you our honest opinion on the product.
Another thing to mention is that before we go about testing these products the Golf Monthly team tend to attend product launches and do meets with the manufacturers R&D department. This helps us to better understand the tech going into these trolleys and carts, this is important, especially with the amount of technology manufacturers are putting into these products. If we have a direct understanding of a model or brand then we can pass on that information better to the consumer and make sure you understand what goes into these trolleys and why they are good or bad. Our female writers regularly use electric trolleys while playing and so are in an excellent position to offer advice on various brands and models.
How to choose a golf cart
There’s a lot to think about when it comes to choosing a new electric golf trolley, but fear not, we’ve put together some key points to consider when it comes to choosing a trolley to make sure you’re purchasing a product that suits your needs.
Additional Features
Over the last decade the electric trolley has become increasingly sophisticated and the additional benefits such as in-built GPS, which will help new female golfers who haven’t played many golf courses. Scoring functionality, because if you’re like us, it seems almost impossible to find a pencil in your bag before your round and even the addition of USB ports, so you can charge your phone while you’re on the course. All of the above are features that tech loving women will benefit from having access to.
Battery Life
Big improvements have been to the lifespan of the battery in recent years. New materials like lithium have allowed trolley designers to make the battery smaller, lighter and longer-lasting. It is worth noting that more powerful batteries do often cost a little more.
Storage
Historically, older style powered trolleys were incredibly heavy to lift and cumbersome to store and women complained about the difficulty of transporting them to the course. Modern electric trolley designs are much more compact and made from some clever lightweight materials that allow them to still be robust, but far easier to lift in and out of a car boot.
Maneuverability
The ease of use is another big consideration, whether you tend to play a flat parkland course or a hillier heathland or links, the “best maneuverability” may score much needed marks in your decision-making. There’s also the design and style to take into account and the landscape of trolleys is changing so that there are more choices than just the traditional black frame for the style-conscious woman.
Remote control/Follow Trolleys
Yes you can actually buy electric trolleys that follow you now via sensors! Naturally trolleys that have follow or remote control functionality do cost considerably more, but if you play at a course where trolleys have to stick to paths down the side of holes, being able to control the trolley from the fairway via remote is extremely helpful.

FAQs
Are electric golf trolleys worth it?
There is no sugar-coating it, electric trolleys are a big investment but we have found that the models above have really helped golfers physically. Going from carrying a heavy bag on the shoulders and back, to using an electric trolley is truly illuminating as to how much effort it saves. Indeed this point can also be applied to people differently not only because of golfers wanting to spend money at different price points, but also because we all have varying physical capabilities and all play on contrasting courses. For example if a player has a bad back and plays on a hilly golf course, then an electric trolley will definitely be worth every penny. Whilst a golfer who is fit and healthy and plays on a flat course, despite undoubtedly also saving physical exertion, may not get as much out of an electric model.
What is the difference between the Motocaddy M1 and S1 trolley?
While the S1 is one of the most popular Motocaddy models, the M1 has been designed to replicate the features of the S1 just in a sleeker SlimFold frame that folds down to superb size for storage, making it easy to transport from point A to B.
