Abstract: Three substantially planar structural members, preferably made of coved or channelled fiber-reinforced composite material, fold and unfold about a plurality of pivot axes each of which is parallel to the rolling axis of the cart's two quick-disconnect wheels. The wheels occupy the same spatial positions and angular orientation relative to one another in both the folded and unfolded states of the golf cart. A detachable handle is selectively clenched by actuation of a thumb screw. The cart's folded size is approximately 16"W.times.26"L.times.5"H without wheels. Each structural panel weighs approximately 1.1 lbs., and the total cart weight is typically 5 to 7 lbs.
