World’s #1 brand delivers financial gains along with health & performance benefits for walking golfers
Motocaddy, the world’s leading electric caddy brand, is blazing a trail by supporting a rapidly growing list of golf clubs and resorts across North America with an extra income stream through its reliable and game-changing electric caddy rental fleets.
With an increasing number of golfers now choosing to walk around the course, the award-winning Motocaddy products are the ‘most satisfying’ way to transport clubs around the course, with around half of owners wishing they’d made the switch sooner according to independent research*.
Through working closely with Motocaddy’s sales reps, golf facilities and resorts – including prestigious tournament venues – are able to tailor their rental program to ensure members and guests receive best-in-class products with unrivalled reliability.
“In the last few years, we have worked hard to satisfy the growing request for ways to walk the course with it becoming more popular through and after the pandemic; the challenge was some of our members could not walk and carry their bag,” Ned Graff, PGA General Manager at TPC Potomac at Avenel Farm, Maryland, the host site of the PGA TOUR’s 2022 Wells Fargo Championship. “Once I saw the Motocaddy design and M5 GPS electric caddy rental program, I knew we had a solution our membership would fully utilize. We’ve since upgraded to the M7 REMOTE model, which has been extremely well received.
“The membership felt we had listened to their request and fulfilled their needs with an electric fleet that offered much more than anticipated. We displayed the carts at the first tee so they could see them in person and understand the functionality and the easy operation required. We saw lots of walkers that had previously carried switch to an electric caddy for greater enjoyment of the course, all while still getting their exercise. The rental program offered by Motocaddy is a win-win for both parties, and we look forward to working with them for a long time,” he added.
The health and performance benefits of having a Motocaddy fleet, along with the profit opportunity has also been seen at Rolling Green GC in Springfield, PA. Scott Chisholm, PGA Director of Golf, says that the Motocaddy hire fleet is proving to be a big success for his business.
“One of the big drives of the club in recent years was to promote walking the course, and I’d say we’re at about 50-50 at the moment of golfers walking. But that was around 80% in ride-on carts a few years ago, so Motocaddy has really helped with getting our members on their feet.
“We took in six units to start with as a trial, and the first problem we had was that they were sold out every day, so we had to get more, and this year it’s been fantastic. At a place like Rolling Green where the undulation can be severe, the electric caddies along with the features and functionality have been a huge success, and for us, the reliability has been huge. We have our fleet fully charged and ready to go every morning, and they go back out again in the afternoon,” he added.
