AIR-CONDITIONED GOLF CARTS
Abu Dhabi Golf Club provides the very latest technology
golf carts with air-conditioning units, providing an all-year-round
cool championship golf experience.
In line with our efforts to enhance facilities at Abu
Dhabi Golf Club, these state-of-the-art club golf carts
will provide a comfortable, cooling, championship golf
experience.
The carts, which are in our corporate red color, a first
for the Middle East, will be a welcome addition for our
members and visitors who have to beat the heat, as well
as their handicaps, throughout the year.
Sensors are triggered when a passenger sits down, prompting
the two mounted units on each cart to blow cool air on
to the back of a passenger's neck. Sensors turn the units
off when a player exits the cart to take a shot.
Fueled by the cart battery - and a 12-pound solid block
of ice -- the Coolwell units have a detachable nozzle
that unhooks so players can blow cold air in their faces,
hands or anywhere else, with the air lasting for about
27 holes of golf.
