As a golf cart owner, I love a good cooler on the cart. Whether I’m out for an afternoon ride, headed to the driving range or playing a round of golf, having drinks that stay cold matters.
Not every cooler works well on a golf cart, though. Some are too big, some are too heavy and some just don’t fit where you want them to.
Here are three I’d recommend.
YETI Roadie
The new YETI Roadie is the one I’d start with because it’s advertised as a cooler that fits in the golf cart. If you’ve ever tried to force a hard cooler into the back of a fleet cart, you know it’s not always a simple fit.
If you are a golf cart owner and own a four- or six-seater, size probably won’t be quite as much of an issue. But for a standard golf cart basket, this one fits without creating a DIY project. The non-slip feet also help keep it from sliding around which is a nice feature.
Like most YETIs, when you open it, you may notice there isn’t a ton of interior space. But there is plenty to get you through a round of golf. The color options are great, the size is practical and it’s not overly heavy.
I use this cooler for more than just golf, too. It’s small enough to bring along without thinking twice and tough enough to last.
Stanley Adventure 16-Qt Cooler
The Stanley Adventure 16-Qt Cooler was bigger than I expected which turned out to be a good thing. If you own your golf cart and have that rear compartment underneath the back seat, this cooler fits really well there. I tested it in my Club Car on a 98-degree day and it held ice better than I expected.
It also feels lighter and easier to deal with than some other hard coolers but the internal space is generous. Stanley says it holds 21 cans, and at 6.6 pounds, it’s a nice balance of sturdy and manageable.
The leak-resistant gasket, rugged latches and bungee system on top make it feel more like an outdoor cooler than just something you throw in the cart.
If you want something a little smaller, the Stanley All Day Julienne Midi Cooler is another good option. It costs a little more and doesn’t hold nearly as much as the Adventure 16-Qt but the size makes sense if it’s mostly just you on the course and you don’t need a full hard cooler.
Titan by Arctic Zone
The Titan by Arctic Zone is the value option I’d add to the list. Because it’s soft-sided, you don’t have to worry quite as much about exact fit in the cart basket or rear compartment.
It’s also a little easier to bring to a golf course that may be sensitive about coolers. A bag tends to draw less attention than a hard cooler.
I’ve used this one for beach days and boat days, too, and it has held up well. There are a few different color options and the size is practical without being annoying to carry.
I have the YETI Daytrip soft cooler, too, and while it has held up really well, it’s smaller than this Titan and about double the price. For a golf cart cooler that can do more than just ride around the course, this one makes a lot of sense.
