I ordered the 2024 Evolution Classic Pro 4. The customer service was exceptional. My only suggestion would be to offer a closed trailer shipping option, even it cost a little more. Emily’s follow up and customer service etiquette was second to none. Highly recommend ordering a golf cart from Winters Recreation.

Purchased a new Evolution D5 Maverick from Winters and had it delivered to Florida. Winters was nothing but helpful and professional! I had an issue with the digital screen on the cart and without hesitation, they overnighted me a new one! Buy from Winters!

This was our second purchase from Winters Rec. Emily and the Team at Winters Recreation are AWESOME! Super knowledgeable and super friendly, was able to make my purchase seamless and they shipped out the 2024 Evolution Golf Cart in just a couple of days! It arrived like showroom condition! We will definitely utilize their products and services again. Plus I saved over 70% off compatible carts in my area that were “pre-owned”. Cart performance is amazing and very “golfer friendly”. Great Customer Service and Service After the sale.

The entire experience was wonderful when purchasing my new cart. Dan’s help was great and I ended up getting just what I wanted. I had checked the inventory of numerous dealers in my home area and non of them had the cart I was looking for. Winter’s inventory was awesome and I found the cart I was looking for immediately. Delivery 2,400 miles to California was no problem. I will recommend to everyone to buy from Winter’s.

Dan was great to work with. He was very prompt and responsive. We received our golf cart in less than a week & we have enjoyed it ever since. If your looking for a golf cart this was the easiest and fastest way. If we are ever looking for another toy we will definitely contact Winter Recreation.Added note: When we received our golf cart one of tires was flat, they sent a new tire out that day with no questions asked. They did all they could to make it right and we are very appreciativeThank you again,Dan & Winter Recreation

The selection was outstanding and the sales team was pleasant and attentive. While I appreciated having delivery as an option, my unit did sustain some damage. The team sent me touch up paint and couple of hundred dollars to offset it. The owner followed up with me a couple of weeks later and after that interaction, it's clear to me that he is a man of integrity who really cares about his customers. I would do business with Winters again and recommend them to others.

We had a great experience at Winter Rec! Our salesperson was very knowledgeable, really friendly and not pushy! We took advantage of the free shipping deal and they changed out accessories for us! Payment was handled via wired money and they gave us an instruction sheet and the whole process was pleasant! Delivered within 2 weeks of purchase in mint condition!! Thank you Reese- you are very good at your job!! I would highly recommend if you are in the market for a golf cart to shop here!!!

So happy with the the club car we ordered online. It was so much nicer than we even thought it could be. Love all the bells and whistles. The delivery driver was so nice and very informative. We have already recommended to our neighbors and friends to look into into purchasing online. Delivery was quick as was the whole buying process. Wonderful staff to work with. Thank you to Winters Recreation.

Winters Rec is a great place to buy from. From initial contact to setting up financing to getting my golf cart delivered was a very smooth transaction. Customer service is all top notch. After getting my cart I called a few weeks later with a question/issue. Received a phone call back from service department within an hour and issue was solved quickly.

We couldn't be happier with the sales process, the quality of products, and the out of state delivery. Our sales person, Angela, was amazing and worked through every detail. The out of state delivery was better than buying it next door. And we love our golf cart. Voted best looking on the golf course and so fun to drive around town as the staff also helped us make sure it was all street legal and able to obtain a license plate. Would buy again from Winters a hundred times over.

My wife and I traveled from Saint cloud to Sauk center and didn’t realize that Winters recreation was closed on Saturdays at 12 o’clock noon. We arrived at 12 o’clock noon and talk to a salesman and his name was Lee Vogt Not realizing that the store is closed. Lee mentioned that doesn’t matter that the store is closed take your time and look around. We were there for one and a half hours looking at golf carts. I would have to mention that Lee was one of the best sales persons I’ve ever met with his knowledge, expertise and his professionalism. Both my wife and I were very happy with Lee and we purchased a golf cart. I would highly recommend Winters recreation for your purchase of a golf cart.

Online shopping for a golf cart. Dealers in my area only have a couple of carts to choose from. The choices at Winters are endless. Found the cart I wanted, gave Lee the options I wanted and they put them on and shipped it to me. Shipping was fast and communication was great. I’ll be back for another in the future! Enjoying my new golf cart! Thanks Lee!

As my son said, "This is one of my top 3 favorite places, because everyone is so nice!!" The customer service was top-notch. We found the perfect cart for our family amongst the vast selection, and Angie was wonderful to work with as we made the purchase. Post-purchase we had a mechanical malfunction, but the Company went ABOVE & BEYOND to make things right. John did everything he could to ensure our family had our cart back and ready to enjoy for Memorial Day. I would buy from Winters Recreation again in a heartbeat!!

ASK for BROOKLYNN!!!!We've only had the cart (we named her Gussi) for a few days but she's already hard at work. Brooklynn was absolutely amazing and answered about a million questions we had over the span of 2 weeks as we know nothing about golf carts except that we needed one.The crew did an exceptional job of making the changes I requested to the seats & wheels as well as added a hitch for all of our hauling needs. Delivery was a great price.I highly recommend to shop here to find the cart that is perfect for you! We selected the 2016 Yamaha Drive with Lithium Battery... I think ;)

Loved working with Jordan. She’s incredibly knowledgeable and very responsive. Fair prices from good people who work hard. This cart probably won’t see a golf course but the kids and I will have a blast with the light kit on cruising the lake and neighborhood! — Note: side rails added after purchase due to personal mobility issues and my short height—
