If you’re involved in golf in South Africa, you probably know that not all golf carts are quite the same. And while every course has its own unique needs, the Tempo range from Club Car has quietly become a favourite for many – and now, it’s had a bit of an upgrade.
With some handy new features and a few clever design tweaks, the updated Tempo models are made to suit both golfers and course operators a little better. Nothing too flashy – just practical, smart changes that make a noticeable difference out on the course.
StopSmart™ – A Small Feature That Makes a Big Difference
One of the standout additions is the automatic park brake, now standard with StopSmart™ Technology. It kicks in automatically when the cart comes to a stop – no levers to pull, no pedals to push.
It’s one of those things you don’t know you need until you use it. Especially useful on hilly or uneven terrain – something many South African courses know all too well. It brings a sense of ease and safety to the drive, whether you’re in the Lowveld or along the coast.
A Dashboard Designed for Today
Let’s be honest – golfers carry a bit more these days than just a pencil and scorecard. That’s why the Tempo’s dashboard has been redesigned across all models (whether you’re running lithium, lead-acid, or petrol carts).
You’ll now find:
- A proper spot for phones with built-in storage
- USB-A and USB-C ports for charging
- An optional wireless charging pad
- Bigger cup holders that actually fit modern bottles
- A glovebox that locks
- And a cleaner dash layout thanks to a repositioned FNR switch
It’s modern, neat, and just makes things a little more comfortable.
Power Options to Suit Any Course
Whether you’re after energy efficiency or prefer something more traditional, Club Car’s got options. The lithium-ion Tempo model charges quickly, requires little maintenance, and helps reduce long-term costs — a solid choice for busy courses.
But if petrol or lead-acid is more your thing, those are still available too — and they now come with the same upgraded dash and braking system.
It’s all about what works for your course, and Club Car gives you that flexibility.
Built for South African Conditions
From the windswept fairways of the Cape to the sun-baked layouts up north, South African courses are as varied as the players who visit them. Having reliable, good-looking carts that are easy to maintain really does help keep things running smoothly.
That’s one of the reasons many local course managers stick with Club Car. Solid after-sales support and long-term durability make these carts a practical investment — and golfers seem to notice the difference in ride quality and comfort too.
A Fleet That Reflects Your Course
Golfers often spend more time in a cart than in the clubhouse — so it makes sense that the fleet should reflect the quality of your course.
The refreshed Tempo range doesn’t shout for attention, but it does quietly deliver on all the things that matter: comfort, safety, design, and reliability.
If you’re planning a fleet upgrade or just want to explore what’s new, it’s worth taking a closer look.
