I think the top compartment (at least on my AT) is for a mobile device holder.

 

I have done a couple things to improve the performance / stabilize the bag and cart:

1.) To stop the bag from shifting (SunMountain 4.5LS),  I build my own version of the Clicgear Cozy (because there are none available, at least in the US). It works like a charm and is not noticeable.

 

2.) To stabilize the cart,  I purchased a Seapearls scuba diving 5LB weight off of Amazon.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00355GL5K/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o03_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I attach it using a couple velcro straps and my big sits right on top of it. It takes me 30 seconds to attach it.

Played about 20 rounds without both of these enhancement and and 10 rounds with it.

It has been a game changer for me.

 

 

Is the weight mainly to get the bag higher so it's clamping more of the bag? I picked up a titleist hybrid 5-way thinking that would solve the issue (tired my linksmaster and a UA bag, both sucked), but it still sits way too low in the clamp

No, the 5# dive weight in the front acts as a counterweight, to move the center of gravity forward, offsetting the top heavy irons at the rear, leading to fewer rear tip overs when climbing hills.

For slipping, you could also put a clip on...

I use mine as a spacer to get the beg up as well as a counter weight like Golf_Nerd said. The stand foot of my SunMountain 4.5LS just barely hits the Navigators bottom support arms, so I wish the 5# weight was a little thinner but it's working. The additional couple inches of height allows the top strap to grab better than when the weight isn't there. I do use the clicgear cozy though,which is pretty nice.

You were able to modify it to fit onto the MGI upper clamps?

If you mean the clicgear cozy, it fits without modification.  I didn't do anything else with the upper clamps.

Has anyone taken this cart to Bandon Dunes?  If so, how did it perform?  Any issues?  

 

My friends have taken it to Chambers Bay with no issues but there are a couple holes at Bandon where I recall there are railroad ties for stairs so might be tricky.

 

I had ACL reconstruction 3 months ago and going to Bandon over Thanksgiving.  My ortho said not to carry my clubs.  I was able to demo the non-AT version of the cart at my club and loved it.

 

From the Bandon Dunes website FAQs: "The sand and lack of paths can be difficult on motorized pull carts."

I just purchased the Mgi Navigator at Costco for $999.00. They must be clearancing them out.

[Gyro77]

You sure you weren't looking at the MGI Zip X2?  Costco online has those for the normal price of $899, and I still see the AT as normal price $1599 right now.

[Golf_Nerd]

Prices on all CostCo clearance items end in 97 cents. Surprised the Navigator AT is being "clearanced out," even by an individual CostCo store. In the past, they have been on sale for 24 hours for $300 off the $1599 regular price, and only on a select few days a year! Still $1599 online.

I was wrong!

Has to be the X2 including sales tax.

Also, prices on all CostCo clearance items end in 97 cents, not 99.

Navigator AT is certainly not being "clearanced out!" 

At best, it may be on sale for 24 hours for $300 off the $1599 regular price, but not now, and only on a select few days a year! 

Yup, $999.97

So, how do we get other Costco's to match that price?

I’m not sure since they appear to be clearance. Do you have a local Costco and do they have them at a different price? I know online says $1599.

That is definitely a store clearance, with the 97 cents at the end, and a great deal. That's also the same SKU number as the $1599 online version with all the accessories. Likely limited to stock on hand. Most CostCo's don't carry them in the store.  Worth a trip to Palm Desert or La Quinta CA, if they aren't already all gone!

Did it include all the accessories, like the seat, water bottle holder, and scorecard holder? Those certainly aren't worth more than $100, even if it didn't! 

[Golf_Nerd]

Called CostCo and La Quinta is the only one that has any left and still has them clearanced priced. They need the floor space and they weren't moving! Online prices are unchanged, as they have plenty of storage space! You scored!

Yes, all the accessories. They had 

10 at the La Quinta. 9 when I left.

Thanks. I called Costco.com to see if they would price match and they would not. I also called the club to see if they would ship it to me but they weren't able to do so. None of these are at any Costco locations near me. 

Oh well... it's a great deal for those living close to the location. Thanks for posting.

You’re welcome.

That is a great price. A person could buy several of them and make $300 profit reselling them. 

[Kevin_J]

Thankfully had a buddy in area and he was able to snag last one for me today. Been waiting for the Costco sale to return and glad I was able to get in on this deal. 

[Golf_Nerd]

I drove up and picked up two for myself around 5:30pm, leaving three, including the display. Couldn't fit any more into the car! Thanks to @Walt190for sharing the wealth!  264 miles round trip!  Saved $1200 plus tax over the online price!

If anyone had an extra and wants to sell let me know. Glad all of the locals are getting in on the deal.

Yes, definitely worth the trip. I’m happy to hear you were able to snag some.

Thank you man! I just scored the deal of the year thanks to you. I'd been looking for one of these for the last 6 months, but was really hesitating at $1600 (more like $1750 after tax). I was originally waiting for the $300 off deal, but I saw your post and had to see if I could get one. I called the La Quinta Costco at around 11am this morning and they said they had 3 left.

 

It's a 2.5 hour drive from LA, but I figured it would be worth it. When I got there, I saw the sign and where the carts should be, but nothing was there. A lady told me a guy had just walked off with the floor model - the last one! I was totally bummed but figured it wasn't meant to be. I wasn't going to bother trying Palm Desert as someone in this thread said only La Quinta had any left. Thank god I decided to call! They said they had two left. I zoomed over there.

 

When I got to the section, I saw the price sign was $850 and got really excited! Then I realized there were no boxes left, but the floor model was still there. A nice guy helped me and after tracking down the box in the back with all of the accessories in it, he gave me another 15% off because it was the floor model.  It's in perfect shape, just a little dusty! They are no longer going to be carrying it in those stores, so it was considered "discontinued." I walked out with the very last one from Palm Desert for $722.50 + tax!

Wow, that’s crazy. Thanks for letting me know and great for you. You took a chance and it paid off big time. I love it!!!

Random question:

Has anyone tested what happens when you’re cart gets out of remote range or the remote battery dies? I’m curious if the cart will stop when it loses remote connection or just keeps going.

According to page 16, section 7.7 Remote Range and Safety Tips, of the User Manual (Version 3.0), the cart continues traveling for 5 seconds, and then stops.

 

Lots can happen in 5 seconds at full speed. At a mere 7mph, in 5 seconds, the cart will travel an additional 51 feet before stopping! I suspect the 5 second delay is because signal could be momentarily interrupted for a variety of innocuous reasons, such as a temporary signal obstruction, but after 5 seconds, it is presumed to be out of range, or the remote battery has died, and the cart needs an automatic safety stop. If last moving under manual control, even if out of signal range of the remote, it never stops! Range is supposed to be 100 yards, but mine is well over 250 yards, established by sending it out down the fairway after teeing off, and remaining at the tee box. Never risked taking it out farther than 250 yards because of the risks of encountering hazards (fairway bunkers, green side bunkers, or ponds) during the 5 additional seconds of travel, after it actually finally loses contact, and I still need one of the clubs in the bag for my approach shot, when I get to my ball! True range on a fully charged remote is likely 300-400 yards! Drone laws require VLOS. I can't reliably see hazards beyond 250 yards any way!
