Best Remote Control Golf Trolley UK 2026: 8 Picks

Best for most golfers: Motocaddy ME Remote

Golfers trying a remote for the first time on normal parkland or gentle hills.

This has what you'd use every round and skips the rest. There's a USB-C rechargeable handset with forward, left, right and reverse, Motocaddy's stated 100m+ range, automatic downhill control and nine speeds. A retractable anti-tip wheel stays attached when you fold it. Grab the handle and use the dial to drive it like a normal electric trolley.

Golf Monthly's review calls it the best entry-level remote electric trolley on the market, praising the battery that charges in the frame and the compact fold. National Club Golfer tried it on a hilly course and rated its stability, though it found the trolley crept forward slightly when left on a severe slope.

• Works by remote or by handle, with no setting to change
• Battery can stay on the trolley to charge
• Lower quoted weight than most picks here

• Golf Monthly found it drifts on side slopes, so keep an eye on it.
• LED indicators only. There's no screen for speed or distance.
• Register the battery within 45 days to get the 60 months of cover.

Best for steep courses: Stewart Vertx Remote

Keen walkers on hilly courses who only want to think about their golf.

Built in Gloucestershire, the Vertx is Golf Monthly's best overall remote. Its Active Terrain Control watches the power to each motor, so the trolley keeps the same speed uphill or downhill without you touching anything. Two wide front wheels replace the usual swivel wheels. Golf Monthly's review found that made it more stable and just as easy to steer.

Choose the battery with care. Stewart's FAQ gives 230Wh, 307Wh and 384Wh rather than holes, because it says every course differs, though its product intro still mentions a 45-hole battery. It also advises a cart, staff or tour bag of 13kg to 15kg and says lightweight stand bags aren't recommended, because they can affect the stability.

• Smallest folded box here, with a carry handle
• 100m range, three cruise control speeds
• Stewart says it's built for wet weather play

• No handle mode. A flat battery means freewheel pushing, which Stewart calls a failsafe.
• No screen or GPS. Battery status shows in the app.
• This is Stewart's Black Friday price for the base battery in black, about £300 under list. Other colours and batteries cost more.
• The Golf Monthly review dates from 2023.

Best with built-in GPS: Motocaddy M7 GPS Remote

Golfers without a GPS device who play away courses and want one thing to charge.

A 3.5-inch touchscreen covers more than 40,000 courses, with full hole maps, a movable target and 3D flyovers. Motocaddy says mapping and performance tracking are free for life. Golf Monthly's M7 review confirms no subscription is needed for hole maps. Today's Golfer names it the best trolley overall after testing over 50 models.

Golf Monthly's tester preferred its remote handling to the RX12's, while placing it just behind the Stewart Vertx. If you already own a watch, look at our GPS watch guide first. The M7 Remote drops the maps for less.

• Handle mode for when you'd rather steer
• AED locator and CPR instructions, where available
• Free Accessory Station with the trolley, says Motocaddy

• Half a kilo heavier than the ME Remote.
• Screen is smaller than the RX12's.
• Bluetooth alerts and performance tracking need a compatible phone and app. Uploading stats needs Wi-Fi.

Best screen: PowaKaddy RX12 GPS

Golfers who care most about the hole map and play gentle courses.

The 5-inch portrait touchscreen is the point here. PowaKaddy says it's the largest on the market, with over 40,000 courses and a full hole view. Golf Monthly's RX12 review calls the screen superb.

The same review is honest about the rest: it needs more attention on slopes than some rivals, as the swivel front wheels often veered off in the direction of the hill. So buy this for the map rather than the driving.

• Biggest screen we found on a remote trolley
• Slim handset that docks under the handle
• One-click fold, with a low 345mm depth

• 50m range, half what Motocaddy and Stewart quote.
• PowaKaddy's page lists no downhill braking and Scottsdale lists no electronic braking, though its feature text mentions optional EBS. Ask before buying for steep courses.
• Scottsdale's summary says 9kg and 560mm wide. PowaKaddy and Scottsdale's own description say 14kg and 425mm, so we've used those.

Best on side slopes: Alphard Cybercart

Golfers on cambered courses with a strong back and a big boot.

Everything about this trolley is large. That's part of why it works. Golf Monthly's review says the low centre of gravity and gyroscope keep it on the line you set across any gradient, with no corrections. It rates the remote experience second only to Stewart's. An automatic parking brake and downhill speed control are listed by Alphard, while the cup holder, umbrella holder, scorecard holder and sand bottle holder come as standard.

• Tracks straight without corrections, says that tester
• Lots of accessories in the box
• Stops itself when out of range, says Alphard

• 18kg, which Golf Monthly calls the heaviest of any remote on the market.
• Today's Golfer notes it can't run as a normal electric trolley, only by remote or freewheel.
• Today's Golfer's tester says the handset range isn't the longest.
• Wheels need fitting by hand out of the box. Golf Monthly also says the looks take some getting used to.

Best gyroscope for less: MGI Zip Navigator AT

Golfers on rough or uneven ground who want straight tracking and a handle mode.

MGI's Gyroscope Straight Tracker and twin motors are aimed at hilly, uneven courses. Today's Golfer names it the best remote for uneven terrain and calls it extremely easy to operate by remote or by hand. It also has downhill speed control and a GPS holder with storage. American Golf includes a free cart bag on the listing we opened.

Treat its weight with care: MGI's Canadian page gives 31lb without the battery and 37lb with it, though it repeats one kilo figure for both. We've used the pounds, which match Breaking Eighty.

• Straight tracking with a handle mode, an unusual pairing here
• Up to 36 holes from the battery, says MGI

• One of the bulkiest folded boxes here.
• Today's Golfer admits it's not the lightest.
• MGI doesn't quote a handset range on the page we opened.

Best follow and remote: Stewart Q Follow

Golfers who dislike holding a handset and want both options.

The Q Follow walks behind you tracking a signal you carry, or you can switch to remote mode up to 75m away. Today's Golfer picks it as its best follow model and praises how responsive it is, with one dry warning: it'll follow you wherever you walk. Golf Monthly's tester of a different trolley, the Navee Birdie 3X, was less keen on follow mode over bridges and around deep bunkers. It folds to the same small box as the Vertx.

• Hands-free walking between shots
• Two cruise speeds and an integrated carry handle

• Dearest Stewart here and 15.2kg before the battery.
• Stewart lists Follow and Remote modes, with freewheel as a failsafe. Today's Golfer says you can also clip the remote above the handle and steer by hand.
• Stewart doesn't list Active Terrain Control on this model. For the steepest ground, look at the Vertx.

Lowest price: Navee Birdie 3

Flat course golfers who want a remote at the lowest price and can stand some noise.

Navee is a scooter company that's new to golf. Golf Monthly's review praises the stable, nimble front wheels, the three-year frame warranty and a free year of the Hole 19 GPS app. Its tester's verdict is still no: it beeps at every stop and start with no way to turn that off and it has no straight tracking. That reviewer would spend the extra on the ME Remote, which is what we'd do too.

National Club Golfer was kinder, liking the easy set-up and the fold, though in manual mode you need to push it to start and hold the handle pedals.

• Cheapest full remote here
• Phone holder and storage bag in the box

• Beeps that can't be turned off.
• Golf Monthly calls it lighter than most, but Currys lists 17.2kg, so check that before you count on it.
• Rear wheels don't invert and the stabiliser doesn't fold.
