Club Car produces vehicles for personal use, business and commercial applications, and golf operations.
Golf Cart Models by Vertical Club Car’s first product was a three-wheeled golf carts introduced in 1958. The company is regarded as an industry leader involved in many innovations, including producing one of the first street-legal golf carts. It enjoyed newfound success with its DS line of golf cart beginning in 1980. The cart, named after designer Dom Saporito, became the company's hallmark until 2004, when the Precedent line of carts were introduced. The company's partnership with GPSI in 2008 produced the world's first connected golf cart replacing the Precedent.
Golf Carts for Personal Use In 2017, the company launched the first of its Onward series of personal transportation vehicles, introducing the ability to customize a vehicle's accessories, color, and more online for the first time. A 2-passenger, 4 passenger, and 4 passenger lifted vehicle were featured in the initial launch, with a 6-passenger and lithium-ion option added later. In 2025, Club Car announced its most advanced personal vehicle yet – the Onward LSV (
Low-Speed Vehicle). The Onward LSV standard equipment includes premium features such as a seven-inch touchscreen display, four-wheel brakes, an Occupant Protection System consisting of a reinforced frame, front and rear seatbelts, side mirrors, turn signals, DOT-approved glass windshield, back-up camera and an Acoustic Vehicle Alerting System (AVAS) to enhance pedestrian awareness when the vehicle is in reverse. Advanced testing for Onward® LSV included automotive style brake performance tests and roof crush test to provide peace of mind to drivers.
Personal Utility Vehicles (UTVs) Beginning in 2008 and 2009, Club Car entered into the utility vehicles (UTV) market with its XRT line of personal utility vehicles. These ranged from the XRT800 4x2 UTV to XRT1550 4x4 UTV with the ability to add work attachments to the vehicle. Club Car also offers street-legal golf carts with automotive features such as seat belts, turn signals, windshields, and more. These vehicles, UTVs and LSVs, were also manufactured and branded for other companies making Club Car the OEM. The utility line was expanded two years later to include more vehicle options.
Commercial Utility Vehicles (UTVs) Club Car first began offering UTVs for golf courses by modifying golf carts with holding boxes and other accessories for increased application. They created vehicles targeted at business applications in 1985 with its Carryall II aimed at manufacturing facilities, college campuses, and providing a turf utility vehicle for golf course operations. It became the Carryall series as the company continued producing more vehicle options. In 2014, the company re-launched its line of commercial utility vehicles with a reintroduction of the Carryall series boasting improved efficiency, a new line of accessories. Two new types of vehicles were developed and launched in 2009 and 2010: street-legal low-speed vehicles (LSV) and vehicles designed for transporting multiple people at resorts, venues, and campuses. == References ==
