Morphology
The meaning 'a small vehicle for golfers' is directly and compositionally derived from combining 'golf' (the sport) with 'cart' (a wheeled vehicle), so the intended referent is transparently a cart used for golf. This N+N compound follows a common, cross-linguistic nominal composition pattern, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents should readily infer the meaning.
Etymology
The name golf cart creates a simple picture: golf (the game) and cart (a small vehicle) that moves players and their bags from hole to hole. So, it means 'a small vehicle used to carry golfers and equipment on a golf course'.
