The Club Car Tempo has ergonomic seating and top-tier suspension, ensuring players have a smooth ride and can concentrate on their game.

Recognising the industry’s shift towards sustainability, Roda Golf & Beach Resort has embraced it with the purchase of electric buggies. These environmentally friendly options, driven by electric batteries, are a dramatic contrast to regular petrol cars, significantly reducing carbon emissions and noise pollution, making them a golf sustainability option. Such developments not only improve the course’s environmental condition but also promise lower operational costs for the resort in the long run.

Furthermore, adding these electric buggies highlights the resort’s commitment to inclusion. Their user-friendly design appeals to golfers of all ages and skill levels. The buggies’ silent operation and better mobility enhance all guests’ gaming experience.

The response from both players and club members has been extraordinarily positive. These buggies’ increased comfort and convenience of use have surely improved the overall golfing experience at the resort. Additionally, club members applaud the resort’s aggressive approach to environmental conservation. Reduced emissions and noise levels have created a more tranquil atmosphere, and golfers take pride in preserving the region’s natural allure.
