Motocaddy M7 Review (2025)

Motocaddy M7 Review (2025)

The M7 GPS is the headline model in the compact folding M-Series range, and it comes with a ton of features and a pretty hefty price tag.

The most notable upgrade is the inclusion of GPS. It comes with a 3.5-inch touchscreen built into the cart handle. From here, you can receive yards to the front, middle and back of each green, and use the drag-and-drop feature to place the pin where you want to receive the yards. I found the screen quality to be high and easy to use, even on rainy days.

The remote system on the M7 GPS was equally flawless. Using the compact remote, the cart responded impressively to both the speed and distance required. There’s also downhill control, which allows you to operate at a reasonable speed when going downhill. As a result, you can be confident that the cart will be right there with you, waiting for you, next to the ball.

This feature is aided by the practical design that allows the wheels to fold under the chassis. It’s a compact package that fits nicely in your car, and it’s easy to store at home. In fact, it’s about the same size as the most compact trolleys on the market, even though it’s an electric model.

The trolley also comes with a small rechargeable remote control that allows you to move the trolley forwards and backwards, as well as start and stop the trolley. The trolley also has the ability to seamlessly switch from remote control to manual control, allowing you to take control of the trolley normally if you so choose.

Like the M7, the remote M7 GPS features a detachable anti-rollover rear wheel designed to keep the trolley stable over rough terrain and course undulations.

The trolley has a wider wheelbase than other M-series models and is equipped with all-terrain tires for improved handling across the course.

It is powered by a high-output 28.8V system with 9-speed settings and an ultra-lightweight lithium battery that can be recharged without being removed.

Installation

Installing a golf trolley is relatively simple these days. Simply unfold the tabs on the body and the front wheel rolls out of the way, ready to be folded and set up in seconds.

If you’ve never used a trolley before, it can still be a little confusing, but once you’ve used it a few times, it’s really easy. I’ve used sleeker, simpler trolleys in the past, but considering its size, the M7 GPS is still pretty good.

One thing to keep in mind is that you’ll need to manually add the anti-roll wheel to the back yourself. It simply snaps into the holes on the bottom of the trolley.

After rolling, you’ll need to remove it again to fold the trolley down to its smallest footprint, but it’s not particularly large so you might not need it and it reduces the risk of misplacing it.

Appearance

Motocaddy’s trolleys have looked much better since their remodel about 5 years ago, and this M7 GPS looks smart without too much frills.

The new touchscreen looks fantastic, is a good size and is very clear, making it easy to read even for those with poor eyesight.

In terms of size, it’s one of the largest trolleys I’ve tested in terms of length and width. It’ll fit in most car trunks when folded, but at nearly 15kg it’s a bit of a hassle to lift and remove. For comparison, the entry-level M1 trolley I reviewed a few years ago weighed less than 10kg.

Motocaddy provides a stand on the bottom of the trolley so you can stand it upright to save space in your car boot or garage, and flip the wheels over so they don’t stick out of the bottom of the trolley.

Storage and Accessories

Like the Motocaddy M7 Remote, the Motocaddy M7 GPS Electric Caddy doesn’t have any storage space. I added the essential accessories pack, which includes a drink holder, device holder, umbrella holder, and scorecard holder.

Since the M7 GPS includes score tracking (more on that in the next section), I considered not installing the scorecard holder, but I found it convenient for two reasons: to keep the group’s written scores and to store pin sheets.

As for storage, I didn’t miss the storage compartments or mesh baskets that are commonly found on push carts at all. The full-size Motocaddy Pro-Series bag made it easy to get all my gear out.

Since I wasn’t pushing the cart, I didn’t have to worry about the weight. The bag also has an EASILOCK system, which is a great way to secure the bag to the trolley. Not having to worry about the security of the bag on the cart allowed me to focus entirely on the task at hand.

Features

First off, the GPS on the trolley was really quick to connect to satellites. I turned the trolley on and it found and loaded a golf course within seconds, which can often take a few minutes when you first start up a new GPS device.

The touchscreen display was also great, very responsive and easy to use. I remember being impressed with the screen performance of the M5 GPS, and this is no different. It felt like I was using a premium phone or tablet.

As mentioned above, the trolley weighs almost 15kg and as a result it felt a bit bulky at times when trying to manoeuvre it around the course. Despite the fact that it has double wheels at the front to help with turning, it wasn’t particularly nimble and at times it was quite difficult to turn or move it into a certain position.

The anti-rollover wheels are a useful touch but tended to be a bit of a nuisance when walking. I was happy to use the remote and generally needed help stabilising the trolley when going over bumpy areas but it was out of reach. In such cases I managed to get the trolley upright!

Downhill Control isn’t a new feature that most trolley brands have had for years but it worked great on the bigger inclines where the extra weight of the trolley can easily cause loss of control.

I played a few holes at Chorlton-cum-Hardy GC while testing this trolley and the course has quite a few steep inclines and lengths and this trolley handled them with ease.

The remote works well and comes with a handy holder in the frame below the screen, and it’s nice that it can be charged during the round via the USB port.

I’m not sure how often I’ll use it, but it’s useful for sending to the next tee or clearing the way at certain points. Despite being relatively simple to use, it was very responsive and easy to control.

GPS technology in golf equipment (watches, devices, trolleys) is very good these days and the M7 GPS is no exception. It works perfectly and doesn’t require a watch or other type of device. Considering the price, it’s helpful to consider this. I’ll explain later. Basically, you can add the cost of the GPS to the overall price.

Finally, I was really impressed with the battery life of the trolley. After 18 holes, the trolley only had about a quarter of the battery it had when I first turned it on, and that was while charging the remote.

If you’re someone like me who’s always late for tee times and usually forgets to charge the battery the night before, this is a great feature.

Conclusion

At around $1,600, the trolley is a significant investment, but it’s worth it. The trolley has a ton of features that can make your life easier or actually help you play better golf. It’s definitely worth taking advantage of all the benefits you can get.

It’s super easy to set up, easy to fold, really sturdy, and has a comfortable handle that makes it easy to get around the course, no matter what kind of layout you have to negotiate. My only possible criticism is that it’s pretty heavy to get in and out of the car with the batteries in.
