Algarve, Portugal: Salgados Golf Club has installed a new fleet of nearly 70 Club Car golf carts as part of a multi-million Euro renovation project.

The new Tempo vehicles and drinks buggy from the industry-leading manufacturer of small-wheel, zero-emissions electric vehicles will enhance the experience at the resort, which is nestled between the Atlantic Ocean and the Salgados Lagoon Nature Reserve.

Jon Schauder, Troon Executive at Salgados, said of the new fleet, which was delivered by Golfejardim, Club Car’s distributor in Portugal: “The new fleet elevates on-course experience and comfort for our members and guests, and the Club Car aluminium frame is ideal for our prime location as a golf course by the sea.

“At Troon, we have always valued our strong partnership with Club Car. Together with Golfejardim, their personal level of service and commitment to quality made choosing their exceptional golf carts an easy decision.”

The upgrade project at Salgados Golf Club has also included a four-month course renovation, central to which is a new island-green signature hole, the par-three 12th, which adds to the drama and beauty of the course.

There is also a new state-of the-art irrigation system, which makes Salgados lead the way as the only course in Portugal watered from 100% non-potable sources.

Ricardo Muelas, Club Car Regional Manager, said: “Salgados Golf Club has made impressive upgrades over the winter and looks fantastic. We’re proud to be the gold standard for high-quality golf vehicles for members and guests to enjoy. We look forward to supporting the club and the team for many years to come.”

The acclaimed Club Car Tempo golf car is used by many of the world’s best resorts and courses. The cars deliver outstanding hill-climbing power and acceleration, and have many customisable options including colour, seats, storage, wheels and three programmable drive modes to maximise performance.
