Lo Romero Golf has once again opted for state-of-the-art technology to provide the most satisfying experience to players who come to this golf course located in Pilar de la Horadada.

For this purpose, a GPS system has been installed in all of its brand new fleet of 70 buggies Tempo, which provides the player with perfect help during the golf round and at the same time becomes a useful tool for the golf course by having all vehicles permanently located.

The geolocator system provides greater security to the players in case of any accident, being able to send them informative messages about any incident that may occur such as a pipe breakage, electrical storm warnings or any other message of interest.

The system also informs the pace of the game, which allows the Marshalls team to avoid slow play immediately. In fact, it has been possible to reduce considerably the time of play in days of much influx of players which has a direct effect on a better experience for most visiting golfers.
