What if our course is really hilly?
Tempo Walk has been extensively tested on Blue Ridge Mountain courses and can climb virtually any hill a golf cart can.
How many Tempo Walks can I get for our course?
Most clubs start with 4 Tempo Walks, but we can increase this amount as course demand dictates.
Will adding Tempo Walks impact our car rentals?
The majority of Tempo Walk renters are already walkers (87% of renters switch from carry or push-carts), so any reduction in cart fees is minimal. In addition, the incremental income from walkers switching to Tempo Walk exceeds this amount multiple times over.
Can it go out on cart path only days?
Yes, unless the course is extremely wet (i.e. lots of standing water). Tempo Walk is lightweight at less than 100 lbs. and comes equipped with wide turf tires, so it has virtually no impact on the course
What if we already have caddies?
This may seem counterintuitive, but clubs with caddy programs are our most active courses. We believe this is because the membership is already accustomed to walking with a caddy.
Tempo Walk plays a complementary role at these clubs filling in when caddies are unavailable, like late afternoons and when students return to school. A good example would be Westwood CC in Rocky River, Ohio. They have an excellent program with over 200 caddies, and the club and membership love having Tempo Walks!
How much space will they take up in our cart barn?
Each unit has been designed to sit upon its backside, so we can fit 4+ Tempo Walks in the space of 1 golf car.
