Ease of Use
It is easy to understand the appeal of golf cart rentals on Put In Bay Island. Full-sized automobiles, buses, and delivery trucks are severely restricted on the island due to a lack of parking, and golf carts are the primary motorized means of transportation and will fit into the snuggest of spaces. Most island residents themselves own only golf carts for transportation, which explains what may at first seem like unusual tiny driveways at most homes in Put-in-Bay's residential areas.
With golf cart speeds restricted at just about 15 miles an hour, and in-town speeds equal to that, traffic in Put-in-Bay moves at a gentler pace. Were it not for the lively social scene to be found all around the downtown area, the golf carts might bring to mind a Cleveland retirement community on an island. But most people are more often moved to compare the gentle putt-putt of golf carts up and down the town's streets to the childlike wonders of Disneyland and their slower rides into Tomorrowland!
Give yourself plenty of time to tour the entire five-square-mile island. You will find many of our Put in Bay restaurants on Delaware Ave in downtown. But you will be glad to have a cart when you want to go to Joe's Bar our on Langram Rd. There is golf cart parking all over downtown and at the various Put-in-Bay hotels so go explore!

Safety and Fun Go Hand in Hand
Be on the lookout for the occasional pothole and the speed bumps at the south end of the island. You don't want the person riding in back to get hurt. Above all, be sure to always drive on the right side of the road and take your keys with you when you leave the cart. All carts are licensed motor vehicles. It is best to make advance reservations for your Put In Bay golf cart rentals during busy seasons. Ask your rental contact or agent who they recommend and whether they can make reservations for you.
All carts rented by Island Club Golf Carts are safe and easy to use. Safety devices such as turn signals, seatbelts, and taillights are checked regularly. EZ-Go, Yamaha, and Club Car are our popular cart brands. The Island Club has gas powered carts, but we partner with Golf Cart Depot which has electric golf carts for rent also. Electric carts are not as popular as the faster gas models though.
Explore South Bass Island
With a widely available tourist map in hand or downloadable Put-in-Bay Island Guide from our website, begin your adventure with Put In Bay golf cart rentals by cruising up and down the streets of the main downtown business area to get the hang of the cart. Then explore some of the charming residential cottages and other Put-in-Bay attractions.
Finally, head for the hills, literally, and explore the winding hilly roads in the center of the island and find putt-putt golf, wineries, caves, vineyards, antique schoolhouse, ice cream shops, and much much more. All these farther-flung routes will yield breathtaking views, without the need for you to stop to catch your breath after what would otherwise have been a healthy hike!
