Visit the National Museum of Golf Cars !!

The county’s first museum devoted strictly to the preservation and education of the golf car and utility vehicle.

Learn about the history of the golf car, from its humble beginnings on the turf, to today where golf cars are no longer just for golf! Explore the restored and preserved content dating back to the early beginnings of the golf car from the 1950’s, to today, and even into the future with concept cars from manufacturers both long gone and still thriving.

Our growing collection includes custom, “one of a kind” golf cars built for celebrities and enthusiasts, very rare and restored golf cars and works of art from famous artists such as Kenny Scharf and Allison Goldenstein. Period pieces, video content, vintage photographs, tools, and components that display the history of the golf car.

As the oldest dealer of golf cars in the world, with a heritage dating back to the 1950’s, we feel it both a duty and an honor to preserve and educate future generations about the industry in which we are most passionate about.

Currently housed inside the Cart Mart  Show Room in La Quinta, CA, the museum is seeking donations of content, a dedicated space to expand the collection, 501(c)(3) status and accreditation from the American Alliance of Museums.

This collection is a collaboration on many levels, with support from individuals, dealers and manufactures who believe in the preservation of golf cars and utility vehicles, and who wish to contribute to the further enhancement and education of our space.
