Disc Golf Courses With Golf Cart Rentals (2026)

Disc golf courses with golf cart rentals exist, but the option is unusual enough that you should verify it before making a trip. A venue may allow motorized carts on one layout and ban them on another. It may also suspend rentals after rain or during a tournament. This guide compares venues whose listings mention carts, shows what their published prices actually include, and explains the questions to ask before you book.

This article is about ride-on motorized golf carts. Disc golfers also call their walking bag trolleys “carts.” A course described as cart friendly might mean only that a push cart can roll over its paths. A motorized rental is a separate amenity.

Where Can You Rent a Golf Cart for Disc Golf?

If you want a ride-on golf cart for a casual round, start with a course that explicitly advertises one. The Roots at Columbia County Sports in Oregon lists a $20 cart for one round, while Eagles Crossing in Missouri lists $65 per round. Other operator-listed options include Persimmon Ridge in Arkansas and Kayak Point's Red and Gold layouts in Washington. None of those listings is a promise that a cart will be available on your date.

The most important distinction is course access versus cart availability. A venue can be open for disc golf while its carts are unavailable. At The Roots, rentals depend on weather and staffing, and the operator says its 12 carts are first come, first served. At Kayak Point, the wooded Blue course has no cart paths and does not allow golf carts. That is why a phone call is more useful than a generic “cart friendly” tag.

Disc Golf Courses That List Golf Cart Rentals

These are examples, not a complete national directory. Five venues advertise rentals on their own pages. Brickyard Plantation and Rancho Del Sol appear in a PDGA directory entry and a course designer's listing, respectively; confirm those two with the venue before traveling. “Price not posted” means we did not find a current, clear cart rate on the cited page.

Venue and location	What the source says	Posted cart price
The Roots, Warren, Oregon	Golf carts for its 18-hole disc golf course; weather and staffing dependent; no reservations	$20 one round or $30 all day
Eagles Crossing, Hawk Point, Missouri	Two-seat Club Car rentals by the round or day	$65 per round or $165 all day
Mellomar Golf Park, Owings, Maryland	Motorized cart option on an 18-hole disc golf layout that overlaps ball golf	$30 cart option listed; confirm what it includes
Persimmon Ridge, Greenbrier, Arkansas	Golf cart rentals; limited reservations began in July 2026	Price not posted
Kayak Point, Stanwood, Washington	Cart rentals on Red and Gold; carts must stay on paved or gravel paths	Confirm current price
Brickyard Plantation, Americus, Georgia	PDGA directory says rental carts are available at the clubhouse	Price not posted
Rancho Del Sol, Moreno Valley, California	Course designer's page says golf carts are available to rent	Price not posted

The table deliberately separates a posted cart price from the total cost of playing. At The Roots, the operator also lists $10 per player for one round or $15 for all-day play. One solo round with its $20 cart is therefore $30 before tax or other charges, if both prices apply as listed. A second player would need their own course admission. Eagles Crossing lists a $65 cart rental, but its cart page does not say that the playing fee is included. Ask for the full checkout total rather than assuming the cart rate covers entry.

The Roots: A Clear Low-Cost Example

The Roots is useful because its operator publishes both kinds of fees. It lists $10 per person for one round, $15 per person for all-day play, $20 for a one-round cart, and $30 for an all-day cart. Its 18-hole course combines open fields, tree-lined fairways, and gap shots. The posted policy says cart rental is weather permitting and staffing dependent, with 12 carts available first come, first served. You cannot reserve one ahead of time.

That makes a $20 cart a sensible add-on if you want to cover the course with less walking, but it also makes arrival timing matter. If having a cart is essential, contact the venue before leaving and be prepared to walk if all 12 are taken. The course's posted rules also ask players to yield to other property users.

Eagles Crossing: Premium Carts and a Higher Price

Eagles Crossing advertises two-seat Club Car carts with off-road suspension, lighting, and a cargo bed. The venue lists $65 for a round on a first-come basis and $165 for an all-day reservation. These are not typical public-park prices; they reflect a venue selling a particular course experience and upgraded carts.

The decision is straightforward. If you are playing once, compare the $65 add-on with your willingness to walk. If your group expects multiple rounds and can use the same cart all day, ask the venue whether the $165 reservation covers your planned schedule and whether playing fees are separate. Confirm that a two-seat cart works for your group; the cargo bed is for gear, not an extra passenger.

Mellomar: Check the Shared-Course Rules

Mellomar says its 18-hole, par-61 disc golf course can be walked or played with a rental cart. Its published disc golf prices show $8 walking and a $30 cart option, but the page does not make every fee combination clear. Call for the exact total. Drivers must be at least 21 and have a valid driver's license, according to the venue's posted policy.

This is a shared-use property. Mellomar asks disc golfers to yield to ball golfers and gives specific instructions to keep carts away from greens, steep slopes, and transition areas. The cart makes travel easier, but it does not give you priority over another group or permission to take the shortest line across a green. If you are bringing younger players, confirm who may ride and who may drive.

Persimmon Ridge and Kayak Point: Confirm the Exact Layout

Persimmon Ridge says its championship disc golf course spans 90 acres and offers golf cart rentals. It began taking a limited number of cart reservations in July 2026. The site does not publish a clear cart rate, so ask for the rental price, course fee, and reservation terms together. Large properties can make a ride appealing, but a reservation limit also makes advance planning worthwhile.

Kayak Point shows why the exact course matters. Its operator says carts may be rented for the open Red and Gold courses, and that they must stay on paved or gravel paths rather than grass. Its Blue Course booking page expressly says there are no cart rentals because that layout runs through the woods without cart paths. The operator's general Kayak Point page contains older course-status and fee details, so confirm today's price and schedule directly instead of relying on an old number.

Brickyard Plantation and Rancho Del Sol: Call Before Traveling

The PDGA listing for Brickyard Plantation describes an 18-hole course shared with ball golf and foot golf at the Americus KOA. It marks the course “very” cart friendly and says rental carts are available at the clubhouse. That is a useful lead, but the listing does not give a current price or reservation method. Ask the clubhouse whether disc golfers may rent a cart on the day you plan to play.

The Rancho Del Sol course designer's page describes a hilly, 18-hole disc golf layout on a former section of a ball golf facility and says golf carts are available for rent. Its posted short and long layouts measure 7,475 and 10,280 feet respectively. Those are course-length figures, not the distance you will personally walk. The page does not post a cart rate, so confirm current operations with the venue.

How Much Does a Disc Golf Cart Rental Really Cost?

The published examples show why a single “average” would mislead you. A one-round cart is $20 at The Roots and $65 at Eagles Crossing. Mellomar lists a $30 cart option, though its page should be clarified before you calculate a full visit. One-time events can differ again: the City of Boulder's August 2026 Flatirons Disc Golf Day charged $15 per rider for a weather-dependent cart, in addition to an adult entry fee of $25. That was an event price, not a standing rental offer.

Before comparing courses, get four numbers: entry per player, cart fee, number of riders allowed, and time limit. A cart charged by the vehicle can be cheaper per person when shared, but each player may still owe admission. A per-rider fee behaves differently. Also ask whether the price is for 18 holes, one tee time, or all-day use. A $30 all-day cart at The Roots can be good value for two rounds; it is unnecessary if you have time for only nine holes.

If you are comparing a one-round venue rental with a multi-day vacation rental, those are different products. A course cart usually stays on the property and must follow its paths. Our golf cart rental cost guide covers daily and weekly rentals for neighborhoods and trips, where the cart may be delivered to you. Do not use those rates to estimate a disc golf course's per-round charge.

What “Cart Friendly” Does and Does Not Tell You

Disc golf uses “cart” for two different things: a small trolley that holds a disc bag, and a ride-on motorized vehicle. A directory filter or course review may mean the first kind. Wide fairways and smooth ground can make a walking bag cart practical while the landowner still bans vehicles. For this guide, we required an explicit motorized rental statement.

Even when a venue rents golf carts, access may change by layout, weather, and event. Kayak Point's Red and Gold courses have usable paths; its Blue course does not. The Roots limits carts when conditions or staffing do not allow them. Mellomar sets rules for where carts can travel on a shared golf property. These differences matter more than whether a course has a golf-themed name.

A rented cart also does not eliminate all walking. You may park on a designated path, walk to a tee, retrieve a disc from rough, and return to the cart. Plan footwear and water accordingly. If you need a cart because walking is difficult, ask about the distance from the path to tees and baskets, not just whether a rental exists. A facility may be able to explain which layout is most suitable for your needs.

Can You Bring Your Own Golf Cart?

Ask first. A venue that rents and maintains its own fleet has not necessarily approved privately owned golf carts. It may limit vehicles because of insurance, path width, wet ground, pedestrian traffic, or coordination with ball golfers. A street-legal cart is still subject to the property's rules when you enter a private course.

Tell the venue your cart's size, power type, and where you intend to park or drive it. Ask whether a driver must show a license, whether passengers are allowed, and whether the venue requires proof of coverage. Our golf cart insurance guide explains why coverage depends on use and policy terms. If you are thinking about buying a cart mainly for a disc golf venue, get that venue's written permission before shopping local golf cart dealers.

For operators evaluating a rental fleet, a quiet electric cart may suit shared recreational space, but the terrain, paths, charging access, maintenance, and insurance still decide whether a fleet is practical. The golf cart maintenance checklist covers the service work that a rental business would need to plan for.

What Do PDGA Tournament Rules Say About Riding?

Casual play and a sanctioned tournament are different. The PDGA 2026 Competition Manual, section 3.05, says players must walk during tournament rounds unless alternate transportation such as golf carts is included in the regular entry fee for all players in one competitive division. It also permits walking push-cart companions as carrying devices while prohibiting motor-driven carrying devices under that rule. A course's normal rental offer therefore does not mean you can pay extra to ride during a PDGA tournament.

The PDGA adaptive rules address designated adaptive events and propelled mobility devices separately. They also point to a reasonable-modification process for situations outside those provisions. If mobility affects your participation, contact the tournament director before registration rather than guessing from a course's casual-play policy. The event can tell you which rules and arrangements apply.

At an unsanctioned outing, ask the organizer directly. A public course may allow carts for normal rounds and reserve them for staff, spectators, or particular divisions during an event. The 2026 Kayak Point Open information, for example, said players could not rent carts during tournament rounds while spectators could rent them on the Red and Gold courses. That event-specific rule illustrates why the event page matters more than the usual rental page.

How to Choose the Right Course and Cart

Start with the reason you want the cart. If you are visiting a large, open property for multiple rounds, it can save time between distant holes and carry your bag. If the route has narrow wooded trails or a short pitch-and-putt layout, the cart may be unavailable or offer little benefit. Check the course map, then ask the operator how close the permitted paths get to tees and baskets.

Match the cart to your group. Eagles Crossing's advertised Club Cars seat two; a group of four would need more capacity or another cart. Kayak Point has offered different seating capacities, but current inventory should be confirmed. Never treat a cargo bed, rear platform, or bag area as a passenger seat. Keep discs and loose gear secured so they cannot fall onto a path.

Weather matters as much as distance. Wet turf can close vehicle access even while walking rounds continue. Steeper layouts may have special no-drive areas. If you are deciding whether to rent after rain, ask the pro shop whether carts are running that day and whether the course has a rain-check or cancellation policy. For general vehicle handling in rain, see our golf cart rain safety guide.

What to Bring for a First Disc Golf Round

If you are new to disc golf, bring fewer discs than you think. A putter and a controllable midrange can cover a first round; a fairway driver is optional. DiscField's beginner disc bag guide explains that simple two- or three-disc setup. Disclosure: DiscField is run by a family member of GolfCartSearch's owner.

Six Questions to Ask Before You Drive There

1. Is a ride-on cart available for disc golf on my chosen layout today? Say “motorized golf cart,” since “cart” might mean a walking bag trolley.
2. What is the total price for our group? Separate player admission, cart fee, extra rider fees, taxes, and any deposit.
3. Can we reserve it? The Roots says no, while Persimmon Ridge advertises limited reservations. Do not infer one venue's policy from another.
4. Who may drive and ride? Ask about license, age, maximum passengers, and whether a minor may be a passenger.
5. Where can it go? Request the path map and ask about tees, greens, steep ground, and weather restrictions.
6. Does an event change the rule? A course can rent carts on Friday and restrict them for Saturday's tournament.

If the answer to the first question is no, walking may still be comfortable on a shorter layout. A purpose-built disc golf push cart can carry a heavy bag on a suitable trail; ask the course whether its “cart friendly” description refers to those walking trolleys. Do not confuse one with the golf push carts for clubs that we review for ball golf.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I rent a golf cart at any disc golf course?

No. Some disc golf courses rent motorized carts, but many do not have vehicle paths or a rental fleet. Confirm the exact layout and day with the operator.

What is the lowest posted cart rental price in this guide?

Among venues with a clearly posted per-round cart rate on the pages we checked, The Roots lists $20 for one round. It also lists $10 admission per player for one round. Prices can change, so check the venue page before your visit.

Is a disc golf push cart the same as a golf cart rental?

No. A disc golf push cart is a walking trolley for your bag. A golf cart rental here means a motorized vehicle you ride in. “Cart friendly” by itself does not establish motorized access.

Can I use a golf cart during a PDGA tournament?

Usually not as an individual add-on. The PDGA rule generally requires players to walk unless alternate transportation is included in the regular fee for everyone in a competitive division. Adaptive rules and reasonable modifications require separate discussion with the event.

Are golf carts allowed on wooded disc golf courses?

Sometimes a venue has both open and wooded layouts with different rules. Kayak Point allows cart rentals on Red and Gold but says its wooded Blue course has no cart paths and no cart rentals.

Does a golf cart let me avoid walking entirely?

No. Course rules may keep carts on roads or paths while tees and baskets sit off the path. Ask about those walking distances if mobility is your main reason for renting.

Can I bring my personal cart instead of renting?

Only with the venue's permission. Ask about insurance, driver qualifications, permitted routes, and whether privately owned vehicles are allowed at all.

Should I reserve a cart in advance?

Reserve when the venue offers it and a cart is important to your visit. Some venues are first come, first served, and weather can still cancel cart use. Confirm the policy when booking your round.
