The short answer
The single best golf cart add-on is a set of 10L0L no-drill folding side mirrors ($22.99, 4.8★ across 2,263 owners) — the cheapest real safety and convenience upgrade there is, and the highest-rated accessory on this page. Add a Roykaw rear armrest with cup holders ($35.90, 4.7★/1,868) for the back seat, and an Ampcaddy clamp phone holder ($14.97, 4.6★/2,287) to keep your phone in view. Skip the welvath magnetic phone holder ($9.99, 4.2★/344): all ten of its newest critical reviews report it breaking or coming apart.

These are the small, cheap add-ons that make a cart nicer to live with every day — see behind you, hold a drink, keep your phone in reach. We ranked them by verified owner ratings. Whether they go on without drilling depends on your cart: the mirrors need square roof supports, and the armrests' no-drill bracket needs a 1-inch square bar.

10L0L No-Drill Folding Side Mirrors
The highest-rated accessory here and the best value on the cart: folding side mirrors that clamp to 0.75-, 1- or 1.25-inch square roof supports with no drilling, adjust 180°, and let you see behind you. The listing rules out round-tube supports, so measure yours first. Real safety for the price of lunch. Honest catch: these fit square roof supports only, and owners report plastic frames snapping on a bump (two of the ten newest critical reviews), one mirror shattering despite the shatterproof claim, and one set that wouldn't work with a full windshield.
Owners say“I recently installed the 10L0L Golf Cart Side Mirrors (No Drilling, Folding, 180° Adjustable) on my Club Car, and they’re exactly what I was looking for.”— PACAN (May 2026), verified owner · Amazon
Your pick if you want the cheapest upgrade that actually improves safety — see behind you, no drilling, on a cart with square roof supports.
Check price at Amazon →Roykaw Rear Seat Armrest Set w/ Cup Holders
Armrests with cup holders for the rear seat, on four stainless support frames, with no drilling on the right frame. The listing names E-Z-GO, Club Car and Yamaha, and says they will not interfere with a flip rear seat. Honest catch: they fit a 1-inch square tube frame only, the listing rules out round bars and ICON, Advanced EV and Evolution carts, and the 1,868 ratings are shared by the beige and black versions. Older critical reviews report brackets breaking and hardware missing, so check the box before you start.
Owners say“These rear seat armrests with cup holders were extremely easy to install on my Club Car golf cart. They look great and matched my seat upholstery as well. Perfect!”— Timothy Brown (Oct 2026), verified owner · Amazon
Your pick if you carry passengers on a rear-facing seat with a 1-inch square frame and want them an armrest and somewhere to set a drink.
Check price at Amazon →10L0L Rear Seat Armrest Set w/ Cup Holders
Bolt-on armrests with built-in cup holders for the rear (flip) seat — the biggest rating pool here (3,980 ratings, shared across six colors). The listing names EZGO, Club Car, and Yamaha carts, and they look factory. The included no-drill bracket fits a 1-inch square bar only; on a round bar or a larger square bar you drill your own holes. Honest catch: six of the ten newest critical reviews (March to September 2026) say the rear seat won't fold or flip with these installed, so check the clearance on your seat before you tighten them.
Owners say“Great product! Easy to install on my 2010 Yamaha Drive2 golfcart and look amazing. Great quality for price.”— Terrysmith (Apr 2026), verified owner · Amazon

Check price at Amazon →Ampcaddy Phone Holder with Clamp
A phone holder that clamps to a bar up to 2 inches across with no tools, then grips the phone with rubber clips and silicone corner bands, so nothing depends on a magnet over a bumpy path. The lowest-cost upgrade here that we'd buy. Honest catch: it takes phones up to 3.75 inches wide, the listing says it is not water resistant, and five of the ten newest critical reviews report it breaking or no longer holding. Those ten run from May 2024 to October 2025, and one owner found the side brackets pressing an iPhone 16's buttons.
Owners say“It holds the phone in tight, has extra protection, with bungees in the corner, even though you don't need it with the clamps. My only downfall is the tightening adjustment ball seems a bit flimsy but we'll see over time.”— Josh Neff (Aug 2025), verified owner · Amazon
Your pick if you want your phone held by a clamp on a bar rather than a magnet, for under $15.
Check price at Amazon →welvath Magnetic Rotating Phone Holder
A magnetic phone mount that rotates 360°: a magnet holds the base to metal on the cart, and a clamp holds the phone. At $9.99 it looks like the easy add-on, but 36 of its 180 written reviews are 3 stars or lower, and all ten of the newest (September 21 to October 25, 2026) report the holder breaking or coming apart, several at the ball joint, some after only a few rounds. Its rating fell from 4.4 in July to 4.2.
Owners say“This is my second one of these and it broke my second time out. It was magnetically mounted to the golf cart and literally broke off. The magnet was still attached but the rest hit the ground along with my phone. Absolute junk!”— Fast Eddie (Oct 2026), verified owner · Amazon
Your pick if you want your phone in view for a few rounds, then a two-piece phone mount.
Check price at Amazon →The add-ons worth buying first
- Mirrors first — if you drive anywhere near other carts or cars, folding side mirrors are the cheapest real safety gain. No-drill clamp models need the right support: the 10L0L set fits 0.75-, 1- and 1.25-inch square tube, not round tube.
- Match rear accessories to your seat — armrests and cup holders mount to your rear seat bars, so confirm your model and measure the bar (the 10L0L no-drill bracket is for a 1-inch square bar).
- Phone mount — a clamp needs a bar it can grip; the Ampcaddy takes one up to 2 inches across. A magnetic mount needs bare metal on the cart, and the joint between the magnet and the holder is what fails on the one we skipped, so look at it before you trust it over a cart path.
- No-drill depends on your bars — these clamp or bolt to existing points on the right size of square bar. On a round bar the 10L0L mirrors won't fit, and the 10L0L armrests need drilled holes.
Frequently asked
- What golf cart accessory should I buy first?
- Side mirrors. If you ever share a road or path with other carts or vehicles, a no-drill folding mirror set is the cheapest upgrade that actually improves safety — you can see behind you. After that, comfort and convenience add-ons (armrests, cup holders, phone mounts) come down to how you use the cart.
- Do these accessories require drilling?
- It depends on your cart's bars. The mirrors clamp to square roof supports with no drilling, and they don't fit round ones. The Ampcaddy phone holder clamps to a bar up to 2 inches across with no tools. Both armrest sets need a 1-inch square bar for the no-drill fit: on a round bar or a larger square bar, the 10L0L set needs drilled holes and the Roykaw is ruled out. Always confirm the accessory lists your cart model (EZGO, Club Car, Yamaha, etc.) before buying.
