Many country club members flaunt their expensive golf carts, some of which are street-legal and cost as much as ordinary cars!
It’s an interesting crew, as I noted on how to join a country club.
Check out this Forbes golf cart article titled “Pimp my Cart”, and this slideshow of custom golf carts.
Custom Hummer golf cart is only $38,000
The car dealerships have been known to “loan” luxury golf carts to club members in the hopes that the jealous co-clubbers will have to have one too! I’ve noticed quite a few of the Escalade golf cart, almost always owned by people who don’t drive an Escalade car!
We just struck a deal with a car dealership on one of their new line of Chrysler GEM luxury golf carts.
The GEM two-seater street-legal pickup truck, about $10,000

We chose the 4-seater, and it has hard doors and a heater too, great for play on those cold winter days, and we can drive it on the street too:
