Club Car Delivers New State-of-the-Art Fleet to St Andrews
ST ANDREWS, Scotland (16 August 2024) – Club Car®, a global leader in innovation and design for golf cars, low-speed utility vehicles, and personal-use transportation, has extended its long-standing relationship with the world’s oldest and most iconic golf venue following the delivery of a new fleet of golf and utility vehicles to St Andrews Links.
The prestigious Scottish venue, where golf has been played for nearly six centuries, has upgraded its golf and utility vehicles to support operations across its seven public courses, including the Old Course, which has hosted The Open Championship 30 times.
“We pride ourselves on working with the very best,” said Danny Campbell, Commercial Director for St Andrews Links. “Since Club Car became an official supplier in 2016, they have provided the highest quality of vehicles and service support.”

"The cars are a crucial part of our operation, allowing our teams to work efficiently and giving golfers an enjoyable and memorable experience,” Campbell added.
The new Club Car fleet introduces advanced capabilities designed to enhance the operations of the St Andrews Links team. While the award-winning golf vehicles ensure players travel safely and comfortably around the Links, the versatile utility vehicles support course rangers and media staff who regularly transport equipment and VIP guests for filming and events.
The fleet also features a combination of six- and eight-seater transporter models, used to move golfers between the Links Clubhouse, Old Pavilion, and the Old Course first tee.
Each vehicle is equipped with Club Car Connect ™ technology, allowing the St Andrews Links team to easily monitor fleet performance, maintain course boundaries, and communicate directly with vehicles in operation.
“Club Car is proud of the strong relationship we have with the St Andrews Links team supporting the largest public golf complex in Europe,” said Andy Bourke, Club Car Regional Manager for UK, Ireland and Scandinavia. “Over the last eight years and it has been a pleasure to provide first-class service, our unmatched products and technology to help them deliver a unique and memorable experience to thousands of golfers each year.”
Established in 1974, St Andrews Links Trust oversees the management and maintenance of the Links courses at St Andrews – the Old Course, New Course, Jubilee Course, Eden Course, Strathtyrum Course, Balgove Course and The Castle Course – with more than 230,000 rounds played over them every year.
