The voltage meter on the dash is showing the voltage at the controller since that's where power comes from for the meter.
You said it drops by half, so is it showing 25V when driving up-hill?

That indicates a poor connection or a bad battery.
You need to check the actual pack voltage WHILE driving with a separate meter.
Also check Each battery Individually while driving.
This is the only way to determine a bad connection, or a failing battery. Checking battery voltage with the pack at rest does you no good since the problem does not happen while the cart is sitting still.
