Club cars are low-speed vehicles that use electricity for power and are typically used for golf carts and off-road transportation, such as driving around apartment complexes, college campuses, resorts and parking lots. Most are categorized as utility vehicles, but they are used for other purposes, such as driving on rough terrain--golf courses--or for shuttling passengers around places like amusement or theme parks or to and around different venues during public events.
