Speakers (opens in new tab) at the golf course are becoming more and more popular of late and this wIngman from Bushnell is one of the best. This bluetooth speaker combines Bushnell's expertise in on-course GPS technology with a powerful and well built speaker.

The Wingman speaker comes with Bushnell's Bite technology which allows the device to be magnetically secured to any appropriate surface - we found it best attached to one of the metal pillars of a cart. Don't worry about the Wingman ever falling off a magnetic surface either as Bushnell's Bite technology is incredibly strong with its seven pounds of pulling force. The feature that sets the Wingman apart from the competition is its GPS (opens in new tab) feature that provides accurate yardages on the golf course.

Heat your golf cart with this Mr Heater golf cart heater. The unit features a wind resistant burner and pilot system for optimal heat output in windy conditions and when the golf cart is moving.

This fits nicely into your cup holder  and it also features a unique safety tip over switch that minimizes nuisance shut-offs when driving on bumpy cart paths.

Keep your phone safe and secure with this Desert Fox caddy. This excellent design fits all modern smart phones, can be installed in a few seconds, and is rugged enough to store in your golf bag between rounds.

Available in a number of different standard colors, you can also get designs to show support to troops, police officers, firefighters, and all other 1st responders too, or ones with funny quotes on them so you can really personalize your design.

For when the weather turns cold this hand warmer from Titleist (opens in new tab) will keep your hands toasty for the next shot. The design best lends itself to being attached around the waist however we found it also attaches onto a golf cart easily. Simply slip your hands in when you are not playing a shot and feel the warmth of the fleece lining and when the temperatures get seriously cold there is a zippered pocket that you can put hand warmers in for that extra bit of warmth.

Want to cross off four things instead of one when it comes to cart accessories? Well Motocaddy, a brand with some of the most compact golf trolleys (opens in new tab) in the game, has got you covered with this essential 4-in-1 accessory pack - which contains a device cradle, a drink holder as well as an umbrella and scorecard holder. Truly all the bases are covered here. 

Fit this onto your Sun Mountain cart to stay hydrated. If you have a good score going, do not let lack of water, beer, or whatever beverage you are drinking, be the reason you lose energy and fall short of victory. This holder can fit a 12-ounce can or a small diameter drink bottle.

These winter wheels offer you a way to keep using your golf trolley this winter without risking ruining your golf course and upsetting the greenkeeper. They help minimise ground contact, making it easier for you too push through the wet floor and we also think PowaKaddy has nailed the looks of them because they look cutting edge and modern without compromising on performance.

If you play golf with a cart, and play golf in the rain a lot, an umbrella (opens in new tab) holder is imperative right? Well one of our favorites is this model from Clicgear. It screws easily into the mount on your Clicgear cart and given how often it rains when we are all out on the golf course, this cannot be understated in its importance.

A brand that makes some of the best electric golf trolleys (opens in new tab) out there, the same can be said of Motocaddy's accessories. These Hot Mitts will really make a cold day on the links all the more enjoyable. These are ready to plug into any M-Series 28V electric cart featuring a USB port. Alternatively the Hot Mitts are also compatible with the Motocaddy Power Bank.

The electric heat layer is equally spread within a fleece insulate so the warmth can reach all parts of your hands and fingers. The controls are simple to use with three heat settings so you can regulate your temperature depending on the conditions.

This Clicgear GPS/phone holder is designed to securely hold your handheld devices so you don't have to have them in your pockets or rummage around in your bag when you need them.

One of the best golf cart accessories to get is a cover for your clubs. Let's face it our pride and joys need protection from the elements. Built to protect your golf bag during a rainy round of golf, the water-resistant nylon cover wraps around your bag and is secured by Velcro straps. 

We particularly liked the E-Z Flip hood too which flips back nicely so you can get at your clubs when needed.

This Big Max cart travel cover is made from waterproof and tear-proof materials to help you protect your cart, and most likely the back of your car, from dirt and water. Due to its size, it can be used for both push and electric caddies (opens in new tab).

Keep your hands cozy and warm on those cold days with these Bag Boy warmers. They have a plush interior with elastic pockets that can fit hand warmer pouches which could help you get over that thinned strike!

How we test golf gear

At Golf Monthly we test golf gear with the same ethos in mind - testing products properly and extensively to see if they are actually worth buying, and then passing on our findings onto you, the reader. That way, we can produce extensive reviews that help you make an informed decision regarding possibly buying a certain model.

The Golf Monthly team are all regular golfers and with decades of experience, we look to understand new technology and design features on products. The best way of doing this is by simply using them regularly, especially when it comes to golf accessories. 

The team tests the models (opens in new tab) out on course for a number of rounds, learning what it is like to truly live with the product over a number of weeks and number of rounds to truly understand the product. 

How to choose a golf cart

What factors should you consider when thinking about buying a golf cart and therefore accessories? We take a look below.

Electric/Push - Obviously the first thing you want to think about is whether you want an electric model, or a push cart. Electric designs are obviously more expensive but come with a lot more features and require less effort to maneuver. Push carts are cheaper, usually lighter and very easy to use. An added element here is the remote golf cart (opens in new tab), which have become more popular of late. Knowing this will then inform you what kind of accessories to buy because certain accessories only work on specific carts.

Features - As we mentioned above lots of different models come with a wide range of features, and some look to simply perform as a trolley. For example some electric models come with GPS functionality, remote controls, shot-tracking and large LCD screens. Push carts also come with features like storage compartments, drinks holder, adjustable handle and so on. Therefore you should think about what extra features would be important to you when using a golf cart.

Ease of use - The whole point of a golf cart, and its accessories, is to make life easier on the golf course when moving from shot to shot, so a cart that isn't easy to use is pointless. They have to be easy to maneuver on the course and getting it out of the car, and most designs fold away too so this foldable process has to be simple to put up and fold away as well. The accessories should also clip on or off easily, and should also be easy to use on the course. 

Storage - Us golfers accumulate a lot of stuff whether it be tees, balls, scorecard, phone, wallet and so on and so forth. Sure it is easy to store this in the golf bag on the cart but for ease of access it is good to store things in the cart itself too. As a result pretty much all carts come with storage compartments these days with some being larger than others. Some accessories also allow you to store things like umbrellas, or drinks on the cart themselves too. 

Durability - A golf cart, and the accessories you can get with it, can be a large investment so it has to be able to last a long time, as well as deal with the rain, mud, and whatever general use gets thrown at it on the golf course. As such we recommend looking at models that are made from strong materials like aluminum. When it comes to accessories, we think the same or stronger plastics. 

Price - With so many brands making golf carts these days there is a model for everyone at every price point. If you want to go for the cheapest option which will just act as a cart, you can. Or if you want all the bells and whistles on an electric design, you can do that too. It is all a question of how much you want to spend.
