As spring begins to warm up, you may already find yourself feeling restless. When the day-to-day grind starts to get you down, rest assured that you can get away from it all without even leaving the great state of South Carolina!

We've put together three perfect options for gorgeous weekend getaways in South Carolina. They won't take you too far from home... or put too big of a dent in your budget.

Our blogs often talk about our E-Z-Go golf carts or the Bad Boy and Bad Boy Off Road offerings that provide some pretty rugged usefulness in the woods, the back forty, and just about anywhere you can imagine in South Carolina.

The one brand that just doesn't get quite as much attention? Cushman.

Today, we'll take a look at why you should consider Cushman golf carts for the farm or pasture here in South Carolina.

Before you take your golf cart out of its winter storage (or even if you've been using it all along — especially in South Carolina, you rarely need to stop using your golf cart!), you'll want to take a few steps to ensure everything is up and running before you head out for a few rounds of golf.

Even if you use your golf cart or ATV primarily for a trip down to the beach, heading out around the neighborhood, or working around the farm, you'll still need to do routine preventative maintenance to make sure your golf cart doesn't suffer from breakdowns or other failures that might require repair.

When purchasing your first golf cart, whether you choose to buy a brand new golf cart fresh off the factory lot or a preowned cart that's seen an owner or two before, it's easy to make mistakes that can lessen your enjoyment or even end up with you coming back again and again for unnecessary repairs that could have been avoided.

We'd like to walk you through a few of these common mistakes today and what you can do to avoid them.

One of the most common customizations that our customers are looking for? Specialized golf cart tires ordered in just for their E-Z-Go, Bad Boy, or Cushman golf cart or ATV.

Specialized tires can give even a pre-owned cart a fresh new look, add to your golf car's overall lifespan, and make sure that your low-speed vehicle is a truly perfect fit for your family and lifestyle.

How can you know just what kind of tires to choose? The best place to start your search is by deciding whether you need street tires or off-road.

One of the greatest things about owning a golf cart or ATV is the ability to really get in there and make it your own. While our own customization department is always happy to help you out with specially-made off-road tires, extra cargo space, coolers to keep your drinks cold, enclosures to keep you out of the elements, and many other special customized parts and accessories, we know that some of our customers just really love that do-it-yourself spirit.

Unfortunately, without taking a few precautions, trying to perform repairs or even golf cart customization on your own could lead to further issues or even injury. We've put together a few quick safety tips to help you DIYers out there fix up your golf cart in safety and style.

South Carolina's Upstate region is really a beautiful place to be — sitting right at the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains, you can find breathtaking views even just driving towards downtown in Greenville or along Highway 11 in Pickens County.

One of the questions we hear from our customers is just where to find great golf courses to visit here in the Upstate, so we thought we'd take a look at three local options for those gorgeous days when you just want to get out on the green.

We here at Go With Garrett's Golf Cars and Specialty Vehicles are lucky to live in a state that doesn't get quite the snow and ice that other regions in the country do. Even the northernmost point of South Carolina might only see one or two serious accumulations of snow or ice per year, and down by the coast things stay positively balmy compared to the winters faced further north.

Still, on those chilly days in January or February you may be tempted to put your golf cart away and swear off golfing in winter.

The truth is, you can have plenty of fun playing golf even when the thermostat dips. We have three tips for making the most of winter golf in South Carolina.

We've written before about preparing your golf cart for winter storage, but if you want to keep using your golf cart during the winter. We’ve put a few ideas together! 

South Carolina generally has mild winters, so you may not need to store your golf cart or ATV! However, we have seen some damaging ice and snow storms. 

Once you’ve taken our advice on winter proofing your E-Z-Go, Club Car, Cushman, or other specialty vehicles,you’ll be able to keep using it right through the coldest months of the year.

What are some great uses for your golf cart or ATV during the winter?

If you're the type to put away your golf cart or ATV for winter storage, there are a few steps you'll need to take to ensure that your battery stays in peak condition, even if you're not heading out on the course or into the woods during the colder months. We've spoken before about winterizing your ATV, but we haven't really taken a close look at caring for your electric golf cart or ATV's battery.

Parking your golf cart in a storage shed or garage and leaving it alone for up to three months will likely end with a golf cart that just won't start come spring.

We'd like to walk you through what steps to take when preparing a golf cart battery for winter storage today.
