South Carolina Gamecocks Golf Cart

Garnet and black are the Gamecocks colors, and Columbia wears them hard every home Saturday. A Gamecocks golf cart takes those two colors and puts them on the thing that gets your people, your food and your chairs where they need to go. It works on game day and keeps working the rest of the year around the neighborhood, the lake or the farm.

Game day at Williams-Brice

South Carolina plays its home games at Williams-Brice Stadium in Columbia. Right next to the stadium sits one of the most unusual tailgate spots in college football: the Cockaboose Railroad, a row of 22 old Illinois Central cabooses that have been turned into private game-day hangouts since 1990. The only rule the owners share is that the outside has to stay the same, and every one of them is painted garnet.

Then there's the entrance. Since 1983 the team has taken the field to the opening of "Also sprach Zarathustra," the theme from 2001: A Space Odyssey, and the stadium gets loud the second those first notes hit.

A cart fits the hours around all of that. Running the group in from where you parked, carrying the cooler and the tent, making a second trip for the grandparents, and getting everyone back after the game when nobody wants to walk. Drive it in the lots and on the roads where carts are allowed, and check the current stadium and city rules for game days before you head out.

Built in garnet and black

You choose the colors on every part of the build. The exterior can be any color, and the roof, seats and trim are all your call, so a garnet body with black seats and a black roof is easy to put together. Screens and finishes differ a little, so treat it as your team's colors rather than a guaranteed exact match. Ask and we'll send photos of past builds in your colors.

• 4 seats for a couple or a small family
• 6 seats for most tailgate crews
• 8 seats when the whole group rides together

What's under the paint

Every cart runs on a lithium battery. The 206Ah upgrade gives about twice the range of the standard pack and a 28 mph top speed, which helps if game day starts across town. We also build street-legal LSV options. Street rules vary by town and county in South Carolina, and our team walks each buyer through what applies where they live.

• 8-year battery warranty and 2-year powertrain warranty
• Built in the same factories as Venom and Bintelli
• Custom builds ship free
• A network of mobile techs comes to you for service

Custom builds take about four months, so if you want to roll up next season in garnet and black, order early.
