A popular golf website once suggested giving her one of our lightweight golf push carts saying:

Caddy for mom every time she hits the course by hooking her up with this ultra lightweight, super-compact push cart from Sun Mountain.

Links Magazine suggests a lightweight women’s golf stand bag for Mom saying:

Sun Mountain’s Three 5 Stand Bag is super-lightweight, and inch shorter than standard to accommodate shorter women’s clubs. Each bag has six pockets, including a beverage pouch and velour-lined valuables pouch, and incorporates the X-Strap dual-strap system (which also works as a single strap). It also works well as cart bag. [Read more…]

by

The 2016 Sun Mountain line-up of new golf push/pull carts includes: ReflexTM, Speed Cart V1 Sport, MC3 Micro-Cart, Combo Cart and a collection of golf push cart accessories and replacement parts.

Sun Mountain Combo cart is a golf push cart and golf bag in one; offering convenience, stability, and durability. Combo folds for storage and opens easily for use. When folded, the Combo cart fits into a car trunk flat, and can also be stored vertically in a clubroom; occupying about half of the space of a separate cart and bag. When it’s time to hit the course; simply swing the front wheel into place, release the rear wheels, and set the handle height. When on the course, Combo offers the added bonus of a built-in seat that stores flat to the bag when not in use and then folds down for a secure and comfortable seat including a back pad.

MC3 Micro-Cart is Sun Mountain’s newest entry into the four wheel golf push cart market. MC3 is compact and lightweight, folds in two simple steps and has a small folded footprint so it’s easy to pack in and out of your car. The most notable difference between the MC3 and past Sun Mountain Micro-Cart golf push carts is the larger diameter tires that make this cart noticeably easier to push, especially in taller grass.

The MC3 is light at just under 17 lbs., the four wheels come standard with low maintenance solid foam tires and the front axle is adjustable, so the space between the front wheels can be widened to accommodate larger golf bags. MC3 folded size is 26.5″ X 14.5″ X 13.5″.

The SandTrap Reviews Sun Mountain’s Reflex Golf Push Cart

by

A writer from SandTrap.com took the new Sun Mountain Reflex golf push cart out for a test drive and filed a nice report. This writer’s experience with other Sun Mountain push carts – Speed Cart, Micro-Cart and MC-3 – worked their way into this review, too, which makes it even more enlightening for the reader.

The primary purpose of a golf push cart is to carry the weight of the clubs and allow for an easy, ergonomic push around the course. Engineering the carts to be lightweight and fold up easily and compactly for transport to and from the course greatly enhanced the popularity of push carts. Looking like a piece of athletic equipment removed any possible stigma long-ago associated with the ole’ two-wheeled trolleys.

The writer of this review spent much of his review talking about the small folded size of the Reflex, the ease with which is opens and folds, and the stability of the cart on the course.

Here are some highlights of what the writer said:

Golf is the Answer to Keeping Your New Year’s Resolutions

by

If a consistently popular New Year’s Resolution is to lose weight and exercise more. And, if key to keeping a resolution is enjoying it and not viewing it as work. Then golf is the answer.

A study found that walking a round of golf offers the same benefits as a step-aerobics class. Another study documents that walking two rounds of golf per week burns over 2,500 calories.

Sun Mountain makes it easier than ever to enjoy the walk with the best three-wheel and four-wheel golf push carts and numerous choices of lightweight golf bags.

The Sync golf push cart bag is even made specifically for use on our push carts and offers a 14-way divided top to help with that other resolution — to get more organized!

New for 2014 Speed Cart V1 Sport Golf Push Cart

by

The Sun Mountain Speed Cart® golf push cart is one of the most revolutionary products in golf. Three-wheeled, ergonomically efficient folding push carts did not exist prior to Sun Mountain’s invention of Speed Cart in 1999.

Sun Mountain Speed Cart V1 Golf Push Cart from Sun Mountain Sports, Inc. on Vimeo.

The beauty of a push a cart versus the old-fashioned pull cart is that the ergonomic and adjustable handle positions arms and shoulders in their most natural position and pushing takes advantage of the forward momentum of walking.

With the new E-Z Latch System, Speed Cart’s patented design folds and unfolds easier than ever, and allows simple handle height adjustment.

The adjustable brackets secure the bag without straps.

The umbrella straps hold a closed umbrella while the umbrella mount secures an open umbrella to shield you from rain or sun.

The accessories tray includes a bungee score card holder, drink holder and a mesh headcover tray.

The handle-mounted hand brake includes a new pin system to more securely lock the wheels in place.

New synthetic wheels with sealed precision ball bearings and solid foam tires ensure an easy roll and require no maintenance.

Micro-Cart Golf Push Cart Folds Smaller

by

Micro-Cart from Sun Mountain is a four wheel golf push cart that folds 25% smaller and weighs 20% less than leading push carts. Weighing only 13 lbs. and folding down to only 52 cubic inches, Micro is a very appropriate name.

The small folded footprint and light weight of Micro-Cart make it easy to get in and out of a vehicle. Micro-Cart comes with no assembly required and folds and unfolds in two easy motions. The new and improved Micro-Cart comes standard with the E-Z Latch for hassle-free handle height adjustment.

The four wheels come standard with low maintenance solid foam tires and adjustable front axle to accommodate the largest of golf bags. And, due to the patented four-wheel design, the cart has a low center of gravity which results in superior stability on the course.

Micro-Cart comes with a Micro-Paq for additional storage; and a console with padded valuables tray, ball and tee holders, magnetic scorecard holder, and a drink holder.

Sun Mountain Speed Cart

by

Speed Cart lets you enjoy walking the course without shouldering your own clubs.

At first glance, the SV1 looks similar to past speed carts, but further inspection reveals several upgrades. The totally redesigned console for the SV1 is divided into three separate sections that allow you to separate and divide various electronic devices and accessories. The new console also conceals a slide-out tray for scorecard and pencil. Additionally, the drink holder has been moved and is now a stand-alone on the side of the handle to allow it more freedom to swivel. SV1 also comes standard with a cargo net that offers a convenient place to hold head covers or a jacket.

Additional improvements on the SV1 include the new E-Z Latch System to allow easier folding, unfolding and handle height adjustment; solid foam tires with anodized wheels to match the frame; and a new pin brake system to more securely lock the wheels in place.

Other standard accessories on the SV1 include an umbrella holder on the frame for closed umbrella storage and on the cart’s handle for an open umbrella.
