Club Car DS owners in Hermanus
The cart that built Club Car's reputation: an aluminium frame that doesn't rust, simple electrics and parts on every shelf. Thirty-year-old DSs still change hands every week. Hermanus Golf Club, Fernkloof, Onrus and the Voëlklip beachfront — retirement and holiday carts collected on our regular Overberg run.
Club Car's aluminium chassis is a genuine advantage in Hermanus: there's no frame rust to price in, so a coastal Club Car usually beats a steel-framed cart of the same age. We still check the battery tray and cables for salt, but the bones are almost always sound.
A lot of the carts we buy in Hermanus come from retirement villages and downsizing owners: low hours, well looked after, often with the original charger and manual. Those are exactly the carts that fetch the top of our range, and we handle everything — the paperwork, the collection, the payment — so nobody has to organise a trailer.
What a DS is worth in Hermanus
A clean Club Car DS typically sells privately for R20 000 – R75 000 in Western Cape (updated 2026-09-01). The specifics we look at on a DS:
- 36-volt carts (pre-2000s) are worth less than the 48-volt IQ-system carts built from about 2001.
- Check the controller and the forward/reverse switch — the classic weak points on a tired DS.
- Rear flip seats, lights and a fresh battery pack move a DS up a full price band.
- Body panels crack at the rear corners; tidy bodywork lifts the offer.

Questions sellers ask
How much is a Club Car DS worth in Hermanus?
Typically R20 000 – R75 000 in Western Cape, depending on year, power (electric or petrol), seats and condition. 36-volt carts (pre-2000s) are worth less than the 48-volt IQ-system carts built from about 2001. Send photos for an exact written offer within 24 hours.
How quickly can you collect a DS in Hermanus?
Usually within a week of accepting. We collect across the Cape every week; Hermanus collections are normally booked within a week of the offer being accepted.
Do you buy golf carts that aren't running?
Yes. Dead batteries, a faulty charger, a controller fault, a cart that has stood for two years — we buy all of them. The offer simply reflects the repair cost. Tell us what's wrong in the form and photograph the battery pack; that's usually all we need.
Is the offer really free, and do I have to accept it?
Yes and no. The offer is free and there's no obligation at all — it's a firm number, valid for seven days, and you can accept, counter or walk away. We'd rather you took our number to compare than felt pressured.
What do I need on the day of collection?
Your ID, the charger and keys, and the cart where we can load it. We check that it matches your photos, sign off the sale agreement you already signed on your phone, and pay by EFT before we drive away. If the cart lives behind a gate, let security know we're coming or send us a visitor code with your booking.
