GRX-1200-R Remote Control Electric Caddy Reviews



February 16,2012
Easy to assemble and operate, excellent range with the remote control, more-than-adequate speed unless you run between shots, and excellent followup and customer service from the Company. If you want to take that proverbial "Good Walk" on the golf course, this is an excellent tool / aid. I also purchased the seat attachment (which also has a small storage space in the design) and recommend it for those hot days, slow rounds and long or hilly courses that we sometimes experience. If you want to really experience golf the way it was meant to be played, and if you want some good exercise even if you're playing poorly, get the GRX-1200-R. I am retired and play almost every day (North Carolina), and this should enable me to keep playing and stay healthy for many years.

Today I used my 1200-R for the first time.The remote is a must have.It is like playing golf with a toy. After 18 holes I was not tired at all. I am a 17 handicap. I shot a 82. I am not saying the cart alone made this score possible, but I know I felt pretty peppy during the round. I highly recommend this cart to anyone who needs to exercise and enjoy it at the same time. Keep hitting them straight. Randy Drewniak Fredericksburg VA

I first owned the GRX-1150-R cart, It was a good cart but made for the very casual golfer. Had a few issues but Cart Tek was unbelievably helpful and took care of everything. I finally decided to upgrade to the GRX1200 and have been more than satisfied! My buddy spent $1500.00 on the Bag Boy Navigator 2 . The GRX1200 puts it to shame. The only thing we both agreed on about the Bag Boy was that we liked the the swivel and shock front wheel and the drink holder, (the drink holder on the Cart Tek is not great if you hit any sort of bumps) His Bag Bay has tipped over many many times because it's so narrow and the wheelie bar is only a slight help when going up a small hill. The Cart Tek is faster, more powerful and cost $700 less.They both have the programmable remotes, reverse and manual use. The seat attachment on the Cart Tek is a separate piece which I like in case you ever need to replace the seat holder due to running into something and cracking or bending the steel. The Bag Boy seat attachment is part of the frame so when it hits something it breaks the entire frame, I only know because it happened to my buddy with the Bag boy. Buy form Cart Tek for the products and the customer Service!

I bought my GRX-1200 after alot of RESEARCH.  Spoke with Dick personally numerous times and love it.  Have recommended 2 other members of my club and they have bought the 1200.  Do yourself a favor and buy one! Love my 1200. Easy to operate. So far so good. If I have an issue, I can call Dick and get an answer. ! Already recommended it to 2 other members who have bought the 1200.

I have owned electronic caddies before, but I have to say this one surpasses them all. When I purchased the GRX-1200 I thought I would not use the remote control, After one round of golf I was hooked, it was easy and a lot of fun to operate, It is a great product I would recommend it to anyone that loves to walk. They are very sturdy and to top it all off Dick has been available when I have needed help. Thank you.

I had high expectations and they were all met!  This is a great cart for the value. The cart and battery are tough and handle the mountain courses around Asheville, NC extremely well. The cart folds into a nice size for transportation and storage and comes with all the accessories needed.

Received the cart last Wednesday. It was simple and easy to setup. My first round was Sunday and it performed exceptionally. I was surprised how easy it is to control. I took on all the hills and drops and it handles well. I used to hate walking with a trolley. But, this is just like playing with a caddy. On one hole I walked to the opposite side of the green only to realize I had a SW when I would rate hit an 8-iron. No problem, called my caddy over and it brought me the club I needed!Yes, My course is hilly. But, it didn't cause a problem for the Caddy. Dave

My GRX-1200-R has performed great. I enjoyed 13 years of golf with a competitor's cart that worked very well but doesn't compare with the GRX-1200-R in terms of battery life, robust construction, ease of folding/unfolding, stability on hills, maneuverability, and anti-slip benefit of two drive wheels.  It appears the drive speed is pulse width modulated so energy consumption is reduced at lower speeds. The frame joints are almost indestructible. The cart's ability to pivot and run in reverse eliminates the need to manually pull it out of trouble. It has not yet gotten stuck in mud. I took your advice and shifted the battery 1 1/2 inches forward. The cart now tracks perfectly. Thank you very much for your help. Your service is exceptional. Joe R. Michigan

Back in 2008, I purchased a GR750 Cart from Cart-Tek Golf, and have been very pleased with the cart after overcoming some minor electronic issues.
Since the GRX-1200 R was introduced earlier this year, I have had my eye on that cart, as I was really interested in upgrading to a remote control cart. In July, I made a decision to purchase that cart, and since that time, i have used it for about 15 rounds of golf.
It took about 3-4 rounds of golf to “tweak” some of the tracking adjustments, and get used to the responsiveness of the cart. I am now very comfortable with the cart, as I can set it to my pace of play and have the cart out in front of me about 20 yards, and not be concerned about staying close to the cart if any obstacles are in the way.
I recommend this cart highly and hope to enjoy many years of service. I recently played in a 3 day tournament without charging the battery (I normally re-charge after each round).
As always, Dick at Cart-Tek delivers what he promises and more. Ben C. Littleton, CO

Ever since I was a kid I played golf walking the course. As I aged (I'm now 56) my ability to carry a bag for 18 holes started to diminish. In the past three years, I lost that ability completely due to multiple orthopedic problems, which included a total knee replacement and the repair of ruptured tendons in both feet. My days of walking the course were over! I really hated playing the game from a cart as it did not suite my comfort zone not to mention the fact that it destroyed the mental concentration that walking so greatly affords. I looked into electric carts but found the price too high or the quality, features, and reliability lacking. Then I discovered the Cart-Tek GRX-1200-R. This piece of equipment has been the most significant game changer for me as it has allowed me to return to the way I love to play the game. The first time I used my Cart-Tek cart I felt like I had been freed from the bondage of having to ride in a cart. Bottom line, if you like to walk the course and don't like the burden of carrying or simply can't manage it due to health problems, this is the cart for you. You simply cannot beat the design, quality, features,and ease of use, including storage even at twice the price that some competitor carts currently cost. Thank you Cart-Tek for bringing this to the market! Greg T.

This cart is a WINNER. I also play on a very hilly course, and I got sick of pushing my BagBoy. I saw the 1200 and knew it was for me. The remote control is great. It is very easy to control. My playing partners have noticed that I seem to be having more fun running the cart ahead or to the next tee box or where ever than I am golfing. I think they're right. I've used it for about 10 rounds and it is going strong. This is my second cart. When I had my first one, from a different company, my partners used to laugh, because I never knew what it would do or where it would go next. It died after about 6 months use and the company is out of business. Dick Northrop has given me a line on where to get parts to fix it. If I ever get it working, I'll sell it because in my eyes, nothing will beat my 1200. Thanks Dick and Cart-Tek. Clint from WI

After minor assembly (15 minutes) and charging the batteries it was off to the course. The cart takes the back and leg strain out of walking the course. Have played 4 rounds, 2 @ 27 holes. Cart was still performing great and ready to go. Would recommend for anyone wanting exercise and saving cart fees. Steve

I recently received my 1200R power caddy, and have played 7 rounds with it thus far. I live in New England, and the course I belong to is fairly hilly, and the unit performs extremely well. It folds very nicely, easily fits in the trunk of my car,sets up very easily, has plenty of power after 18 holes of golf, and has met or exceeded my expectations for performance.
I play with a large group of members, and to date 2 of them have already ordered a 1200R, and I expect to see more people doing the same.
Customer service has been a pleasure to deal with, and I feel confident that they will be extremely responsive to any service needs.

I recently bought the GRX-1200-R which was my first battery powered golf cart. It is very responsive and sturdy. The rear wheel makes a big difference in stability when going up a grade if the cart tips backwards. It will turn on a dime so gets some taking used to. It seems to gain endurance the more you use it as my 1st outing was a little weak, but no problems since then. I think the manual mentions that. I researched many other makes before settling on this one and it is a great value. Customer service has been outstanding. This cart has features that others charge extra for, i.e. scorecard holder, and a drinking cup. And the price is very competitive with other carts that lack the remote control feature, so its like getting a remote at no extra cost. The added cost for the seat is well worth it and provides not only relief from a long walk, but also good storage. I think one concentrates better on the game when walking as opposed to riding in a conventional power cart. Ron W.

Only had this for about a week and the results are fantastic. Bought this unit cause I have bad hips and back. I no longer need to walk bent over push a cart. I have played some long hilly courses and have not had any problems at all except for the tracking. After reading the instructions that problem went away. Dah! Wish I had this years ago. Thanks Cart-Tek. Denny in Washington

I was doing doughnuts with this bad boy. It's as maneuverable an F1 Formula Racer.
The cart is very powerful and the remote is responsive. The 2.4 works. The seat is a must. Very comforting to have it around the 16th hole. It has storage for everything under the seat. The price is ridiculously cheap for the quality. Steve

"Did substantial research on the Web and in person to find the right cart for the Oregon Coast.  I needed one that could handle hills, mud, and occasional frozen ground.  Settled on the Cart -Tek GRX-1200R and have been more than satisfied with the unit and the Northrop's service after sale.  Improved my scores by 3-4 strokes."
