This is a relatively cheap cover, so don't expect to be wowed. If the sole purpose of this cart cover is to keep out the cold and wind, it certainly meets that need. But largely, that's it. These are the issues I encountered- 1. The plastic screen provides very poor visibility, bordering on dangerous. It is folded very compact in its packaging, so the plastic screen is very wrinkled on removal and pretty much stays wrinkled with weekly folding. The plastic also makes it very difficult to see out both the sides and front, even when the carts perspex windshield is removed. Seeing where the ball is even of the fairway, is a challenge, particularly in the wintertime when the grass is a grey color and the ball seems to blend in. Making this worse, your depth perception is effected by the plastic. So you REALLY need to be watching out for depressions and holes in front of the cart while you are driving, and you may drive past the ball and have to get out of the cart to locate it. 2. The cover fits very snugly over a Yamaha golf cart, but the rear section only fits over very small golf bags, and fitting over normal size bags reduces access. So, the rear section just hangs aimlessly in the storage compartment, reducing access there. 3. The entry into the cart through the zipper is from the front of the cart, which means if you are the driver you have the steering wheel to to dodge around. Also, if the cart has a GPS module, that comes into play. In two months I can't tell you how many times I, my wife or friends seeking refuge from the elements, have almost knocked ourselves senseless against the GPS module, and when its cold, you're typically moving quicker. In fact, on two occasions these incidents have drawn blood and left nasty bruises. 4. Also, with the zipper in the front, if you don't close the zipper before you drive off, then you are left reaching for the closure flap which is now letting in cold air and is now flapping against the outside of the cover. It will be hard to reach because there is no handle or grasp on the inside, so you are really distracted while driving .... and visibility is poor !!!! 5. Lastly, with the fairly firm plastic screen, it is difficult to fold up neatly. Factor in the reason you are using it, it's pretty cold when it's time to fold it up, so you don't want to hang about getting it done. We don't like to play in the rain, but cold has only ever deterred us when it is in the 30's, and then only if the wind is stronger than about 8mph. We have a small heater as well and the ability to warm up the hands and body makes a great difference to the level of play and enjoyment. We've never used a cart cover before Nov 2018, and believe me, it really is a game changer. This cover has been a great learning curve on what one should and shouldn't have in a cart cover. We'll now get a more expensive one that has better features and styling, so this investment was not completely wasted. If you love golf and hate the cold, then $150 is nothing when you can be one of the few out on the course on a cold day, and probably the warmest too.
