I have had a few operations on my right foot from a motorcycle accident which means walking more than 9 is not possible, I want to buy something that is not a converted mobility scooter and thought I had found it in the Golf Board but it is £6.5k, any other suggestions would be most welcome

First you must think about storage.
Does your club have storage and charging facilities for it.?
If not you need a trailer and tow bar.
I have used the three wheel ones and they are great.
But a four wheeled one is more stable
Ask the lads at your club ,can you have a go of theirs ( if there are any)
the G3 rider is brilliant three wheels
The Bug-ease is a great four wheeled option.

I wonder if they could be road legal so you could drive to the course on it .
No need for a trailer.
Depends on range of course. There ,18 holes then home again.
Have seen people on the roads in the US but never here.

the mobility scooter type must already be, you see plenty trundling along the roads up here. the 3 wheeler i suppose could no different to a Quad Bike really, just a prov and insurance

Golf boards are great. Tried one out for a round at the Grove a few years back, best fun on a golf course ever. But, as you have already found out, stupidly expensive.

These babies are about half the price and look like a lot more fun, certainly on my list if I ever come into some money.

I know the OP has a medical condition with his damaged foot but he needs to bear in mind its coming to winter time and courses often put a ban on buggies when it gets really wet. Need to bear that in mind and seeing if the club will still allow any sort of vehicle on the course
