Setting up golf buggies on the day
By James Brown · Updated 21 July 2026 · 4 minute read
On the day, we deliver the buggies, set them up, and hand them over with a briefing on how they work and their sensible limits. What is worth doing on your side is nominating and briefing your drivers, agreeing the routes for the day, and a quick check that everything is charged and ready before guests arrive.
Key takeaways
- We deliver, set up and brief whoever receives the buggy.
- Nominate your drivers in advance and have them at the handover.
- Agree the routes, including holding points for sensitive moments.
- Check the charge before guests arrive.
- A few minutes of setup prevents the small problems on the day.
The handover
When we deliver, we do not simply drop the buggy and leave. The driver sets it up and hands it over properly: how to drive it, how to charge it, where the controls are, and the sensible limits. It is a short briefing, but it is what turns a delivered vehicle into one your team can use with confidence.
Whoever is going to be responsible for the buggy during the event should be the one taking that handover, so the knowledge is in the right hands from the start.
Brief your drivers
If your own team is driving, get them to the handover or brief them from it. A driver who has been shown the controls and the site drives sensibly; one who jumps in cold for the first time in front of guests is where small mishaps come from.
It is worth agreeing among yourselves who is driving before the day, rather than deciding on the morning. A named driver or two, briefed and sensible, is all it takes.
Agree the routes
Walk or talk through the routes the buggy will run: where it picks up, where it drops off, and importantly where it holds and how it routes during the sensitive moments. During a wedding ceremony, have it wait a little further off; during speeches, keep it away from the marquee.
Agreeing this before guests arrive means the buggy adds to the day without ever intruding on it.

A quick check before guests arrive
A minute before the event starts, a quick check pays off: is it charged, are the routes clear, does the nominated driver know they are on. None of this is onerous, and it means the buggy is ready the moment the first guest needs it rather than being sorted out while they wait.
This is the same sensible preparation you would give any part of an event, applied to the transport.
Common questions
- Do you set the buggies up or just drop them off
- We set them up and hand them over with a briefing on how they work and their limits. Whoever will be responsible for the buggy should take that handover.
- Can our own staff drive on the day
- Yes. Get them to the handover or brief them from it, so they are shown the controls and the site before driving in front of guests. Agree who is driving before the day rather than on the morning.
- What should we check before guests arrive
- That it is charged, that the routes and holding points are agreed, and that the nominated driver knows they are on. A minute of checking means it is ready the moment the first guest needs it.
