Portland Is a Walker's City. Your Bag Shouldn't Hold You Back.
Portland golfers are lucky. We have some of the most beautiful, walkable courses in the country — from Eastmoreland to Heron Lakes to Wildwood. The weather cooperates more than people think. The courses are green, scenic, and built for the kind of round where you actually enjoy being outside.
So why are so many golfers still carrying a heavy bag on their shoulder for 18 holes?
A push cart changes everything. It takes the weight off your body, keeps your energy up through the back nine, and makes walking feel like the obvious choice — not a workout. If you're a Portland golfer who walks even occasionally, a push cart is the single best upgrade you can make to your game.

Why Walking Is Better in Portland
Portland courses are built for it. Many of our most beloved local tracks — Eastmoreland, Glendoveer, Rose City — are walking-friendly by design, with manageable terrain and beautiful scenery that you simply miss from inside a cart.
Walking also makes you a better golfer. Studies consistently show that walkers have more time between shots to think, lower heart rate spikes from less rushing, and better course management. The only thing that makes walking hard is carrying a heavy bag — take that out of the equation with a push cart.
The Three Push Carts ParWest Carries — And Who Each One Is For
Clicgear 4.5 — The Gold Standard
The Clicgear 4.5 is the most trusted name in push carts. Stable, smooth, and built to last years on Pacific Northwest terrain. If you walk regularly and want a cart that will still be performing flawlessly in five years, this is your answer.
Bag Boy Nitron — The Smoothest Ride
The Bag Boy Nitron features a unique auto-open design and ultra-smooth ride. Lightweight, easy to fold, and effortless to maneuver — built for golfers who want to move.
MGI Electric Carts — Hands-Free Walking
MGI's electric caddies follow a remote control, carry the bag completely hands-free, and handle hills without any effort. The ultimate walking upgrade for golfers who want all the benefits with none of the physical load.
