Vehicles designed for golf course transportation equipped with a drivetrain that powers all four wheels offer superior traction compared to two-wheel drive counterparts. This enhanced traction allows these vehicles to navigate challenging terrain such as steep inclines, uneven surfaces, and wet conditions more effectively. A typical example would be a utility cart used for groundskeeping on a hilly course.
The ability to traverse difficult landscapes provides significant advantages. Improved stability and control minimize the risk of slippage or becoming stuck, leading to increased productivity and efficiency, especially in demanding environments. Historically, golf carts were primarily two-wheel drive vehicles suited for relatively flat, well-maintained courses. The development of all-terrain capabilities has expanded their utility, allowing use on more rugged courses and for diverse applications beyond recreational golfing, such as property maintenance and off-road exploration.
