Caddy

The Caddy is the golf cart of Grand Theft Auto V. Small, electric and slow, it is the vehicle of Los Santos country clubs, where wealthy players cruise between holes. Spawn one with the HOLEIN1 cheat in story mode and you get a quiet, nimble little cart that is good for exploring the golf course, driving through narrow paths and playing around with physics. It also appears in the golf course side activity and as a prop in GTA Online. This wiki page covers the Caddy cheat code on every platform, how it handles, where to find it, the golf side activity, fun uses, comparisons with other small vehicles and FAQs.

Caddy at a glance

Caddy cheat code

In story mode, the Caddy cheat spawns a golf cart beside you. The PC code, HOLEIN1, is a golf joke: a hole in one.

On consoles, enter the sequence during gameplay without pausing. On PC, press tilde and type the code. On any platform, dial the number on the in-game phone. Cheats work only in story mode and disable trophies and achievements until you reload a save. More codes: GTA 5 vehicle cheats.

How the Caddy handles

The Caddy is light and quick to turn, with a very small turning circle, but it tops out at a low speed, so it will never win a road race. It is easy to flip when you take sharp corners at full speed, and a small bump can send passengers off. On grass, it grips well, and its soft suspension makes the course feel smooth. It is nearly silent, which adds to the golf course atmosphere.

Where to find the Caddy

• Cheat: HOLEIN1 or the console sequence.
• Golf course: the Los Santos Golf Club in Rockford Hills has Caddies parked near the clubhouse and along the course paths. It is the most reliable place to find one.
• Other golf areas: smaller courses and resort grounds also have golf carts.
• Airports and large lots: utility carts of similar design appear in some work areas.

The golf side activity

Golf is one of the story mode sports activities, played at the Los Santos Golf Club in Rockford Hills. Michael is the best golfer of the three protagonists, and his storyline includes golf outings. The game plays 9 holes, with a swing meter for power and direction, club selection, wind, and putting on the green. A Caddy is useful for moving between holes quickly while you are on the course, and for exploring the club grounds between rounds.

• Play golf by walking to the golf club entrance and choosing a game.
• Choose clubs by distance: driver for long tee shots, irons for approach, putter on the green.
• Check the wind arrow and adjust your aim before swinging.
• Finish with a good score to unlock rewards and earn money.

Fun things to do with a Caddy

• Golf course tour: drive around the whole course and enjoy the view of Vinewood Hills.
• Golf cart races: race a friend through the paths, though neither of you will go fast.
• Stunt attempts: try jumping the cart off a small ramp or hill for comedy.
• Police chases: a wanted level on a golf cart is a hilarious challenge, since police cars easily catch you.
• Screenshot scenes: park several carts near the clubhouse for staged photos.

Caddy vs other small vehicles

Driving tips

• Take corners slowly; the cart can tip over at speed.
• Stay on grass and paths where it grips best.
• Do not drive it onto highways, where fast traffic will hit you.
• Use it for short trips only; walking is often just as fast across long distances.
• Keep it away from water, where it will sink.

Caddy in GTA Online

In GTA Online, golf carts appear at golf courses and in some properties, and the Caddy is used in freemode for fun and role-play sessions. Players also use it in custom races, golf parties and bounty events. Like the story cheat, spawning one directly is not possible in Online, so you need to find one in the world or buy a similar utility vehicle.

Golf tips for the story mode activity

Golf in GTA 5 rewards patience. The swing meter has three taps: start the swing, set the power, then time the final tap for accuracy. A common beginner mistake is hitting too hard, which sends the ball off line. On long par-5 holes, use the driver off the tee, a mid iron for the second shot, and a wedge for the approach. Read the green slope before putting, since uphill putts need more power and downhill putts need less. Playing the course with Michael is best because his golf skill is highest, which helps accuracy and power.

Course layout and landmarks

The Los Santos Golf Club sits between Rockford Hills and Vinewood Hills, with fairways, bunkers and water hazards. The clubhouse is near the entrance, and the paths between holes are wide enough for a Caddy. From the higher holes you can see the Vinewood sign and the Los Santos skyline, which makes the course a nice place for screenshots and relaxed free roam. Late afternoon light on the course is particularly pretty.

Secrets and curiosities

Players have found that the golf course is a favorite spot for random pedestrian activity: golfers, joggers and staff move around, so the area feels alive even when you are not playing. Some players use the quiet roads around the course to test cars or drive slowly with a Caddy as a way to relax between missions. Crashing a Caddy into the lake is a simple way to see how water physics work, though it ends the cart.

Taking a Caddy off the course

Nothing stops you from driving a Caddy off the course and into the city. Roads near Rockford Hills are smooth, but slow carts become targets for NPC traffic and the police. The cart is easily outrun by anything, so if you get a wanted level, abandon it and find a faster vehicle. Because it is light, it is also easily flung around by explosions or heavy vehicle impacts, which makes it a favorite prop for physics experiments.

Caddy summary

Spawn it with HOLEIN1, drive it around the Los Santos Golf Club, and use it as a relaxed way to explore the course or play the golf activity.

Caddies can also be parked in a Rockford Hills garage if you drive one off the course, but they are best left near the golf club where they spawn naturally.
