Golf buggy hire around Wincanton

Wincanton is a market town on the south-eastern edge of Somerset, close to the Dorset border and known above all for its National Hunt racecourse on the ridge above the town. The country here rolls between the Blackmore Vale and the greensand ridges, and the settings spread across racecourse, estate and hillfort ground where the distances are real and the clay in the valleys holds water.

Wincanton Racecourse runs jump racing and hospitality across a large site of stands, enclosures and car parks where guests and staff cover real ground on a busy day. A short way east, Stourhead, the National Trust Palladian house and landscape garden with its lake and temples, spreads events across a vast estate laid out for slow walking, and Cadbury Castle, the great hillfort towards South Cadbury, adds open-air occasions on high ground. The racecourse and estate lawns soften after rain, and the scale of these sites is the point, so a buggy keeps guests, delegates and older visitors moving across spread-out grounds.

The A303 runs past just to the north on its way to the West Country and the A371 heads west to Castle Cary, and the racecourse sits on the ridge above the town with the villages scattered round: Bayford and Stoke Trister east towards Stourhead, Holton and North Cheriton west, Cucklington and Charlton Musgrove up on the greensand.

Charged buggies, a run-through of the controls on arrival and collection afterwards are all part of the hire.

Delivery to Wincanton

We deliver to Wincanton from our Bracknell depot, about 90 miles by road. Delivery is priced on that distance and shown as its own line on your quote, separate from the hire, so you can see exactly what each part costs.

We bring the buggies on a trailer, set them up at the venue, show your team how they work, and collect them at the end of the hire. Nobody needs to tow anything or collect anything themselves.

Which buggies suit Wincanton venues

• 

  4 seater

  A 4 seater golf buggy carries a driver and three passengers, usually in two rows. It is a popular choice for weddings, small group transport and general venue use.

• 

  6 seater

  A 6 seater golf buggy carries a driver and five passengers. It is the usual choice once you are moving groups rather than individuals, and it is the smallest size that works properly as a shuttle.

• 

  8 seater golf buggy

  An 8 seater golf buggy, sometimes called a people mover, carries a driver and seven passengers. It is the largest option we hire and is built for moving guests in numbers on a set route, rather than for general runabout use.

How far is Wincanton from your depot?

Wincanton is about 90 miles from our Bracknell depot by road. We work out the exact routed distance and delivery window for your quote.

Can you supply buggies for a race day at the racecourse?

Yes. For larger events we provide several buggies and trained drivers to move people across the site. Tell us the format and numbers and we will plan the fleet.

Can you handle a large landscape garden like Stourhead?

Yes. Grounds that size are where a buggy helps. Any event on the estate is arranged with the National Trust directly; tell us the settings and access points and we will plan how many buggies suit.

Will a buggy cope with the ground after rain?

The racecourse and valley clay soften in wet weather, so we agree firm access and routes with you and flag any soft ground on the day.
