Electric golf trolleys aren’t for everyone. Despite
folding down into a compact size, golf push trolleys are still the preferred
choice for many, as they’re generally lighter and easier to use—plus, they’re
nowhere near as expensive.

Despite being simpler versions of their
electric counterparts, modern push trolleys contain many features that make
them an attractive alternative.

We’ve selected some of the best golf trolleys on the market to help you choose.

The P1’s simple one-step folding mechanism gets a big thumbs up—it’s ready to use in seconds. It’s also one of the most feature-packed push trolleys on the market.

A foot parking brake, friction-free oversize wheels, adjustable handle height, adjustable bag supports, and an accessories compartment are just some of the features you can expect. There are many more features that make the M1 one of the best push golf trolleys around.

The Motocaddy Z1 will suit anyone looking for a
simple, lightweight push trolley. It just about offers the same number of
features as the brand’s P1, although you don’t quite get that same premium
feel.

Even so, with the three handle height settings, friction-free oversize wheels and two-step folding system, it’s highly functional, and it’ll definitely appeal to the more budget-conscious golfer, being one of the best value golf trolleys on our list.

Compact and simple to fold with its two-step
folding system, the Motocaddy CUBE is a lightweight push trolley that does an
excellent job of saving space.

At the same time, it provides golfers with all the handy features they need over the course of a round. It’s packed with storage options, whilst the adjustable handle height and foot parking brake enhance its functionality. 

This sleek-looking push trolley features a
lightweight, robust aluminium frame with a quick fold system that provides a
swift and easy set-up from its compact size to full assembly.

Meanwhile, PowaKaddy’s Key Lock system ensures your bag stays secure so that you won’t experience any annoying slipping throughout the round. It can also be adjusted to fit varying ride height requirements, which is useful.

Featuring an ultra-light design, easy fold system and removable rear wheels, this push trolley from Fastfold ticks many boxes. It doesn’t lack features, with the upper bracket and automatic bag clasp amongst the best of them, whilst the storage net, tee and ball holder, mobile phone holder and Velcro glove storage demonstrate that attention to detail golfers crave.

A product that lives up to its name, it’s also
worth pointing out that this is one of the best golf push trolleys thanks to
its sturdy and robust design, and few are quite so easy to use.

Whilst it doesn’t fold down to such a compact size as many others, its superb practicality more than makes up for it. Meanwhile, the deluxe Organiser Panel offers ample space for all your golfing essentials.

With a robust four-wheel construction, the Blade Quattro certainly navigates the fairways with ease—and it comes into its own on especially hilly terrain—yet it’s also simple to assemble and fold down to store away in the boot of a car. The manufacturer describes it well when it says the trolley “opens like a fan” as it shifts from flat to fully open in seconds.

Stylish and functional, the ClicGear 4.0 sits
towards the upper end of the price spectrum—but don’t let that deter you if
you’re in the market for one of the best golf push trolleys.

The aluminium frame has a premium look, and if there were an award for how smoothly a trolley operates around the course, this would be a contender. It doesn’t lack attention to detail, with all the golfers’ needs considered.

Designed from the wheels up to improve the
on-course experience, the Stewart Golf’s R1-S glides along the fairways with
minimum effort thanks to its dual ball bearing, free-rolling wheels.

The bag jaws open wide enough to accommodate the biggest bags, whilst a silicone grip secures it firmly in place. It’s nice to see a few extra colour options, too, which hasn’t always been the case with trolleys.

At LIV Jeddah event last week, Phil Mickelson carried on about his belief that the PGA Tour and LIV Golf are trending in opposite directions. The Tour, he said, is on a downward spiral, while LIV is the future. It’s an opinion, of course, and one that is pretty easy to objectively disprove. But when has that ever stopped Mickelson?

Lefty is incentivized to prop up LIV Golf because the more the upstart league thrives, the better it his for his future finances. However, all the strong-arming in the world cannot make half-truths (at best) the full truth, and a couple of PGA Tour superstars popped back at him this week in the press conferences leading up to the CJ Cup in South Carolina.

“Man, I love Phil, but I don’t know what he’s talking about,” said Jon Rahm, who has been close to Mickelson for a long time. “I really don’t know why he said that. There’s been some changes being made, but it doesn’t necessarily mean it’s going down, right? I truly don’t know why he said that. Don’t know. I really, I really don’t know. I think there’s some great changes being made and great changes for the players on the Tour. I truly don’t know what drove him to say something like that.”

The changes Rahm is referencing are underway. The Tour’s top players have all agreed to play in the same PGA Tour tournaments in the future, and that’s going to start in a big way in 2023 with 17 tournaments (including the four major championships) in which every big-time player that hasn’t already defected to LIV will tee it up.

“I’ve spoke about this at length, and I think the people that have decided to stay here and play these tournaments, they or we haven’t done anything differently than what we’ve always done, right?” said Rory McIlroy on Wednesday. “We’re playing these events, we’re PGA Tour members, we’re sticking to the system that has traditionally been there. The guys that have went over to LIV, they’re the ones that have made the disruption, they’re the ones that have sort of put the golf world in flux right now.

“I guess for them to be talking the way they are, it’s bold and … I think there’s a ton of propaganda being used and all sorts of stuff. I certainly don’t see the PGA Tour trending downward at all. All the talent, most, 95% of the talent is here. You’ve got people like Tom Kim coming through who that’s the future of our game.

“I don’t agree with what Phil said last week. I understand why he said it because of the position he is in, but I don’t think anyone that takes a logical view of the game of golf can agree with what he said.”

McIlroy is literally correct in that 95% of the talent is on the PGA Tour. Currently, 19 of the top 20 players in the Official World Golf Rankings play on the PGA Tour. To be fair to LIV, it currently does not receive OWGR points for its events, and Abraham Ancer, Joaquin Niemann and Dustin Johnson are just outside that top 20, but it’s not certain that they would be inside the top 20 if they were all still on the PGA Tour.

Regardless, McIlroy is correct. Logic and reason — not to mention data — show that Mickelson is incorrect about his assertion at the moment. That could change, of course, but the current gulf between LIV and the PGA Tour is a lot wider than Lefty has insinuated.
