Best Place to Mount Your Phone on a Golf Cart (3 Options)

If you use your phone for GPS, playing music, or keeping score on the golf course, you already know the struggle: where do you actually put it? Tossing it in the cupholder means looking down constantly, and throwing it on the seat is a great way to crack the screen.

Finding the best spot for your golf cart phone mount isn't just about convenience—it's about keeping your device safe and your eyes on the course. Let's break down the three most popular mounting locations and their pros and cons.

1. The Steering Wheel

Mounting your device directly on or right next to the steering wheel is a popular choice for quick access.

• Pros: Easy to reach, highly visible, and great for quickly changing songs or checking a quick GPS turn.
• Cons: It can obstruct your hands while driving. Furthermore, if you hit a major bump, the mount can interfere with steering control. Also, magnetic mounts may struggle here since many steering wheel columns aren't purely magnetic metal.

2. The Windshield

Using a suction cup mount on the inside of the windshield is a classic solution borrowed from regular cars.

• Pros: Excellent visibility and out of the way of your hands. It mimics the driving experience you are used to.
• Cons: Golf carts don't have air conditioning. The intense heat buildup inside the cart can cause cheap suction cups to melt and fail. Also, direct sunlight can cause your phone to overheat while navigating.

3. The Dashboard (The Winner)

For most golfers, the dashboard is the optimal location for a golf cart phone mount.

• Pros: It provides a central, stable platform. It doesn't block your view of the road or interfere with steering. It’s usually shaded, keeping your phone cool.
• Cons: Some golf cart dashboards are curved or textured plastic, meaning you need a highly reliable mounting base to stick there.

Why a Magnetic Dashboard Mount is Your Best Bet

If you choose the dashboard (which we highly recommend), you need a mount that won't slide around. This is where high-quality magnetic mounts combined with strong bases (like vacuum suction or high-grade adhesive) come in.

But what if you want to mount it higher up? The metal support struts of the golf cart roof are another incredibly secure spot.

Unlike messy screw-on brackets or annoying straps (which take forever to install), the A2C magnetic base is designed to instantly snap onto the cart's metal frame. No setup needed—just snap on and go.

At A2C, we designed our mounts to handle the unique environment of a golf course. The combination of a secure base on the dashboard or metal struts, and a powerful magnetic grip on the phone ensures your device stays perfectly in place, even when you hit a bump on the fairway.

Stop fumbling with your phone between holes. Get a setup that just works.
