What are your carts details?

My cart gets around 21 miles of range at 24 mph with 4 people on it. That pack would not do 27 holes, travel to and travel from if your cart is exactly the same as mine and you drive it the same way at the same speeds.

You are facing an uphill battle here... 36V has less available watts than 48V at the same amp hours, and your pack is smaller than the 100 ah 'normal' lithium pack size.

If your cart has the stock controller on stock wheels at 15 or 17mph then you may get the range you need. If you are golfing with 3 other people on the cart, have larger tires or low pressure tires or higher speeds then I'd bet a 36V72AH pack won't make all 27 holes and get back home.

I have no first hand knowledge of a lithium pack being actually used for golf, nevermind how far 27 holes are, so take my estimation with a grain of salt... ;)
