We all know the benefits of using a golf buggy while on a golf break in the sun. They give our legs a rest while scooting around the fairways looking for wayward golf balls, they provide a bit shelter from the heat of the sun and, most importantly, they make it easier to carry around nice refreshing cans of beer!
With many resorts struggling to cope with demand for their golf buggies it is nice to see Lopesan Meloneras Golf Club in Spain investing in a whole new fleet of 60 brand new buggies…it is also good to see the buggies in question are the Club Car Precedent i2s, which are state of the art, solar powered vehicles!

Solar panelling on the roofs of each buggy charge the cart during the long hot days under the sun and, while these carts may not be well suited to a day on the windswept links of the UK & Ireland, they are working excellently in Gran Canaria!
The vehicles can reportedly complete up to 5 full rounds of 18 holes on just one charge and boast significant energy savings of up to 70% which is good news not only for the resort itself but for the planet as well!
Since Lopesan Meloneras Golf Club opened on the Gran Canaria’s exclusive southern shores in 2006, the resort has been committed to offering the highest in quality, customer service and product reliability to meet its visitor and members’ expectations. Meloneras hope the solar panelled carts will enable them to optimise their usage and time out on the golf course to improve the overall experience of visiting golfers.
