How to Store Your Golf Cart at Home

This post was originally published in September 2021 and has been updated for 2026. 

Golf carts have become much more than a way to get around the course – they’re now a convenient and popular way to navigate many neighborhoods. Whether you’re heading to a nearby park, visiting neighbors, or running quick errands, having a golf cart can make everyday living easier and more enjoyable.

But with that convenience comes an important question: where should you store your golf cart at home? Should it be kept outdoors, or is a garage space the better option? Let’s take a closer look at the best ways to store your golf cart safely, protect your investment, and ensure it fits seamlessly into your home design.

How to Store Your Golf Cart at Home

There are many ways to store a golf cart at home. Let’s take a look at a few places around your home where you can store a golf cart.

How to Store Outside

The ideal place for most homeowners to store a golf cart at home is the garage with sufficient space to fit it. However, not everyone is able to do this. You may not have a garage or your garage may be full with your car or other items you have stored there. 

A carport is a convenient place to store your golf cart and protect it from the elements. If you don’t already have a carport, it’s not difficult to build one or have one installed by a contractor. You can find carport or shelter kits that will work for this purpose. 

The nice thing about a golf cart is that it’s a very compact vehicle, so you won’t need a very large carport at your home. However, as long as you are building a new structure, you may want to include some extra space. Then you’ll have a convenient place to store golf equipment or any other items. When building a carport, be sure to place it in a strategic place. It should be as close to your front door as possible and not in the way of any other vehicles that need to enter and leave your property. 

How to Store Inside

Assuming you don’t have a garage where you can store your golf cart, you could build a new, small garage or a shed on your property or home lot. A shed is a simple and economical solution for keeping your golf cart indoors. A shed that’s 12 x 12, 12 x 20, or a similar size is large enough to accommodate a golf cart. You may want to make it large enough for additional storage. This type of shed is also great for storing bicycles, motorbikes, exercise equipment, or anything else you need space for. 

The main difference between a golf cart shed and an ordinary shed is that you need to be able to easily move the vehicle in and out. A shed without a door makes this simple. However, for more protection, you can have a small garage-like door that moves up and down. In this case, you are essentially building a small garage.

Golf Cart Efficiency Tips

A golf cart isn’t just a convenient way to get around, it can also serve as a practical extension of your everyday storage and transportation needs. With a few smart upgrades, you can maximize both functionality and convenience, making your golf cart even more useful for daily living.

Under-Seat Storage Trays

Make the most of unused space by adding under-seat trays. These are great for keeping smaller items organized and easily accessible, whether it’s tools, personal items, or everyday essentials.

Side Baskets for Easy Transport

Just like bicycles and motorcycles, golf carts can benefit from side-mounted baskets. These additions make it simple to carry groceries, beach gear, or household items without cluttering your seating area.

Add a Rear Trunk for Extra Storage

Installing a trunk transforms your golf cart into a compact utility vehicle. With covered storage, you can safely transport items while keeping them protected from the elements, which is ideal for both convenience and long-term durability.
