It might work but it would take a lot longer to charge the phone up and the charger might well get damaged due the impedance caused by the different AC Frequency, so it is not adviseable to try it.

Doing it the other way round i.e. plugging a 110 volt charger into a 220 volt input wou;d almost certainly make the charger inoperative for ever more.

Do electric golf carts require 110 volt or 220 volt outlet?

Electric golf carts operate from a DC voltage supply which is supplied by batteries. These batteries have to be charged on a regular basis. The voltage the battery charger operates on is governed by the manufacturer of the battery charger. Check the nameplate on the charger to see what voltage AC is required. Usually the chargers operate on 110 volts, but in some high capacity chargers they will operate on 220 volts. The nameplate will tell you what voltage is needed to operate the charger. That depends on the charger being used. Either is available.
