How to Measure Your Golf Cart

Park your golf cart on a level surface and measure it in the position it will be covered. Include the roof, wheels, and any accessories you plan to leave in place. Measure the cart itself, not an existing cover.

For a golf cart: length × width × height
Measure between the outermost points in each direction. Keep the tape straight rather than following the cart’s contours.

01 / LENGTH

Measure Front to Back

Measure horizontally from the farthest point at the front of the cart to the farthest point at the rear. Include bumpers, roof overhang, rear seat footrests, and any bag rack or accessories that will remain under the cover.

02 / WIDTH

Measure Side to Side

Measure across the widest part of the cart, from the outermost point on one side to the outermost point on the other. Check the roof, tires, fenders, armrests, and mirrors. If the mirrors will be folded under the cover, fold them before measuring.

Golf cart width measurement

03 / HEIGHT

Measure from the Ground Up

Measure vertically from the ground to the highest point of the cart, usually the top of the roof. Include any accessories that extend above the roof and will remain under the cover. Measure your actual cart if it has a lift kit or larger tires.

Choose Your Cover Size

Compare your measurements with the dimensions listed on the golf cart cover product page. Check length, width, and height separately. Make sure your cart fits within all three listed dimensions.

Use the seating capacity as a starting point, then confirm the fit with your measurements. Carts with the same number of seats can have different roof lengths, footrests, and accessories.

If your measurements fall between sizes, or your cart has an unusual shape, review the product’s fit details before ordering. Include any accessories that will stay on the cart during storage.
