Golf carts are a popular mode of transportation on golf courses, retirement communities, and other areas where roads are simply too narrow or parking doesn't exist for full sized cars. While the average golf cart purchase cost is typically between $8,000-12,000 for a new purchase from a golf cart dealership. The price can go up from there when you factor in other upgrades or larger carts that can carry six or even eight passengers.

This is why many people prefer to purchase a used golf cart - often as low as $5,000 - sometimes even less. However, while the initial purchase price may seem reasonable compared to purchasing a car, future costs can add up if you're not careful. Here are some hidden costs that come with owning a golf cart and how to manage and reduce these expenses.

I've had the opportunity to visit a lot of different golf courses and while most are entertaining and have their unique aspects, few have the WOW FACTOR that TPC Danzante Bay does.

Not only is the course phenomenal - but it's surrounded by some of the best fishing and off-road adventure terrain known to man.

While the entire coast here from Myrtle Beach to Hilton Head is dotted with legendary golf courses, Kiawah Island is special for the fact that it isn't an overdeveloped resort area. Here, among the waves, white sand beaches, and sea grass you can relax and enjoy a great golf getaway.

If there’s one thing you can guarantee about any sport, there’s a language to it that is unique.  It can even be regional with different terms meaning different things around the world. With golf, there is a language, including slang terms, that are used around the world.

This is a great way to combine luxury, an exotic location, beautiful scenery, history, beer... and yes golf together in a way that creates memories that will last a lifetime.

You don't always need to travel somewhere far to have the perfect /romantic-getaway.
