Mijas Golf Course renews its fleet of electric handcarts

Mijas Golf, one of the most experienced courses on the Costa del Sol in operation since 1976, has had Powakaddy to renew its fleet of electric carts. The club has acquired ten units of the ‘PowaKaddy GPS Rental’ model for rent just as the Real Club Valderrama did recently.

This model, when carrying GPS, also helps golfers play more fluidly and reduce their playing time, something for which golf courses fight day by day. These carts are programmed from the ‘Administrator’ option so that they only have a pre-selection of the golf course in which it is used so that they cannot be unconfigured. It is ‘PowaKaddy GPS Rental’ is a technologically advanced element and, being a car with practically all the golf courses in the world already preloaded, you just have to set it up and play. Another of the great advantages for golf courses and golf players, is the fact that the satellite that provides the information is of the same brand so that there are no problems in GPS.
