Summer is prime time for golf cart owners. Whether you're cruising through your neighborhood, hitting the course, or using your cart as a stylish beach cruiser, having the right accessories makes all the difference. At Ace Golf Cart Covers, we’ve curated a lineup of must-have golf cart upgrades to help you stay cool, protected, and ready for everything the season brings. Let’s dive into the best golf cart accessories to elevate your summer ride.
1. Weather-Ready Enclosures for Summer Showers
While summer is known for sunshine, unexpected rain can put a damper on your plans—unless you're prepared. A high-quality enclosure helps shield passengers and interiors from wind and water while still letting air flow on hot days. The DoorWorks Hinged Door Enclosure and Track Style Enclosure are both great options. Made from marine-grade fabric and solid clear vinyl windows, these enclosures not only withstand the elements but are easy to open, close, or remove as needed. Keep your cart in motion, rain or shine.
2. 3-Sided Over-the-Top Covers for Quick Shade
If you need a less permanent option than a full enclosure, a 3-Sided Over-the-Top Cover delivers fast protection from sun and rain without any tools. Designed to drape over the roof and secure at the sides, these covers are perfect for summer rentals, beach cruising, or daily use when the weather is unpredictable. Their quick installation means you’ll spend more time enjoying your cart and less time struggling with complicated covers.
3. Throwover Covers: Lightweight, Portable Protection
The Champion Four-Sided Throwovers are a fan favorite for good reason. These portable covers offer a relaxed fit for most carts and come in a lightweight design that’s easy to store and install. Whether you’re parked by the boardwalk or grabbing a bite after 18 holes, having one of these in the trunk means you're always prepared for pop-up storms or too much sun. They're especially ideal for summer travelers and rental fleets that need flexible protection.
4. Cart Covers That Protect While Parked
When you’re not riding, your cart still needs shielding from UV rays, dirt, tree sap, and moisture. Our durable golf cart storage covers are made for exactly that. These covers come in multiple sizes to fit 2, 4, or 6 passenger models, with reinforced seams and strong elastic hems for a snug fit. Park with peace of mind knowing your cart’s finish and seats are protected through the hottest months.
5. Fan Favorites: Weatherproof Bluetooth Speakers
No summer cruise is complete without the soundtrack to match. The RENO Weatherproof Bluetooth Speaker is a popular pick thanks to its IPX6-rated housing, strong battery life, and crystal-clear sound. Designed to mount easily onto most golf carts, it brings the party with you—whether you're hitting the trail, tailgating, or enjoying golden hour by the lake. Customers consistently rave about the volume, clarity, and ease of use. Just pair it with your phone and you’re ready to roll.
6. Keep Cool with a Canopy or Sunshade
For longer rides or sun-heavy days, a golf cart canopy or sunshade is a lifesaver. Many carts come with basic roofs, but adding an extended canopy or aftermarket shade kit offers additional coverage for rear passengers and lowers sun exposure for everyone on board. Paired with a cooling fan or misting system, this setup helps prevent overheating and keeps passengers comfortable no matter how high the mercury rises.
7. Light Kit Upgrades for Summer Nights
Don’t let sunset end your ride. Whether you're heading back from the beach or cruising the course after hours, upgraded golf cart light kits make a big impact. From underglow LED strips to full front-and-rear headlight kits, lighting not only adds style but improves visibility and safety. Ace offers lighting kits compatible with most major cart brands, letting you choose the brightness and features that match your needs. It’s one of the most fun and functional ways to enhance summer driving after dark.
8. Easy Access Storage and Organizers
Summer means more gear: beach towels, golf balls, water bottles, coolers—you name it. That's why golf cart organizers are a must. From under-seat baskets to dash-mounted compartments and rear cargo nets, our storage solutions help keep your ride clean and functional. Everything stays within reach, and nothing rolls under the seat while driving. Ideal for family outings, weekend tournaments, or neighborhood parades.
9. Seat Covers for Style and Comfort
Hot seats? No thanks. During summer, vinyl golf cart seats can become scorching. A breathable seat cover not only helps regulate temperature but adds a layer of comfort and custom styling. Choose from plush, padded designs or all-weather mesh for a cooler ride. They’re also great for protecting original upholstery from sunscreen stains, spills, and UV damage. Seat covers are one of the fastest and most affordable ways to give your cart a fresh seasonal upgrade.
10. Windshields: Fold-Down and Vented Options
On long summer rides, air circulation is key—but protection matters too. Fold-down and vented golf cart windshields give you the flexibility to adjust airflow on the go. Keep it up to block dust and bugs or fold it down when you want that open-air breeze. Our tinted options also help reduce glare during bright midday rides. Made from high-impact acrylic or polycarbonate, they’re built to handle the road, course, or campsite.
11. Phone Mounts and USB Charging Ports
Between navigating playlists and using golf GPS apps, having a secure phone mount is a modern essential. Combine it with a waterproof USB charging port and your cart becomes a mobile command center. Our universal phone holders attach easily to your dash or roof frame, giving you clear visibility without distracting from the road. Add in a dual-port charger and keep devices ready from first tee to post-round hangouts.
12. Security Accessories for Peace of Mind
Summer brings more time outdoors—and more public parking. Accessories like steering wheel locks, seatbelt clips, or rearview cameras can help protect your cart from unwanted surprises. Small but powerful add-ons like hitch pins and locking storage compartments go a long way in deterring theft or tampering. Whether you’re at the beach or campground, it’s worth investing in a few safeguards that keep your cart secure and your gear protected.
