Club Car’s Tempo 2+2 Transports in Comfort

When it comes to designing and manufacturing top quality vehicles for golf, personal transportation and a variety of utility uses, the Club Car name is known worldwide as an industry leader.

Originally founded in 1958, Club Car has enjoyed impressive success throughout its history, utilizing innovative design and manufacturing processes to create vehicles that appeal to consumers and cart fleet managers around the world. The company has grown over the years and was purchased by Platinum Equity in 2021 for approximately $1.7 billion dollars. Platinum Equity is a global firm that operates 40 companies in a wide variety of industries and manages approximately $25 billion in assets.

A Partner in Platinum Equity had high praise for the

Club Car brand and confidence in their vision for the future of golf and personal transportation vehicles. “Club Car has outstanding leadership, an entrepreneurial culture and a very close connection to its customer base, which has helped the company stay in front of new trends and create new market opportunities,” he said.

Club Car is the official golf car for the PGA of America, the European Tour, and the PGA Tour’s TPC Network. The company is based in Augusta, Georgia. They have more than 400 distribution points and dealer partnerships worldwide, and their proven supply chain and dealer support processes are key to keeping the company at the top of the industry.

When golf carts were first introduced to the market in the late 1950s, they were 3-wheel vehicles steered with a rudderlike handle placed in the center of the cart. Car Club was the first to offer a cart with a steering wheel on the driver’s side, just like a car. In fact, one of the reasons for the company’s success is the emulation of many automotive components, designs, and manufacturing processes. Club Car models offer a smooth, comfortable ride because of their advanced technology.

The company produced its 1,000,000th golf cart in 2000, and that number is rising quickly.
