You’ll Never Look at Golf Carts the Same: 7 Wild Ways People Are Using Them Beyond the Golf Course
In Long Beach, golf carts aren’t just for the course anymore. They’ve become part of the local vibe, cruising past murals in Retro Row, rolling down the path at Shoreline Village, or parked outside your favorite brunch spot on 2nd Street. They’re quiet, eco-friendly, affordable to run, and seriously fun to drive. But if you think they’re just for golfers, think again.
Here are 7 surprising and wildly creative ways people are using golf carts in Long Beach, Signal Hill, Lakewood, Los Alamitos, and surrounding neighborhoods
1. Community Cruising
In neighborhoods like Bixby Knolls, Naples Island, and Lakewood Village, golf carts are the ride of choice for quick grocery runs, school drop-offs, or spontaneous sunset drives along the marina. Add some lights and a Bluetooth speaker, and you’ve got your own little party on wheels.
2. Wedding & Event Shuttles
Long Beach weddings have style, and custom carts are becoming a must-have. Whether it’s getting guests from ceremony to reception in Bluff Park or staging a beachy photo op at Rosie’s Dog Beach, carts make it smoother and cooler.
3. Resort & Hotel Transportation
Local hotels and short-term rentals near Downtown, Belmont Shore, and the waterfront use electric carts to give their guests a fun, laid-back way to get around. It’s that classic SoCal welcome.
4. Game Day Fun
On game days or neighborhood tailgates, locals load up their carts with coolers, gear, and friends from Little League fields in Los Alamitos to soccer Saturdays at El Dorado Park. Style meets team spirit.
5. Mobile Business Units
From pop-up coffee carts in Signal Hill to mobile flower stands at farmer’s markets, electric carts are becoming a creative platform for small businesses to shine. Easy to park, easy to love.
6. Campus & Community Volunteering
Whether it’s helping out at Cal State Long Beach, assisting seniors at a local center, or supporting a community patrol, golf carts are lending a hand all over the city.
7. Just for Fun!
Let’s be honest, some days are made for coasting through Alamitos Heights or grabbing a smoothie at Steelhead with your playlist blasting. Sometimes the best reason is no reason at all.
