Modernizing Golf Course Electrical Infrastructure with Track Busway
As golf courses continue to convert both carts and maintenance tools from gas-powered to electric, the benefits are clear: lower emissions, quieter course maintenance, and reduced fuel costs. However, outdated electrical systems often prevent or delay the transition.
Flexible power distribution systems like track busway offer smarter, more adaptable solutions for modern golf operations. With a flexible, modular design and quick installation, busway simplifies the path to fully electric course operations.
Fast, Cost-Effective Installation
Upgrading traditional pipe and wire electrical systems can be costly, time-consuming, and disruptive to existing operations. Track busway’s modular design allows for quick installation, with plug-in units acting as panelboards to deliver power directly at the point of use. Some clubs have completed their upgrades in as little as two days, making busway an efficient and cost-effective option.
Flexible Power Distribution
When using hardwired systems like pipe and wire or conduit, courses are locked into fixed circuits, limiting where chargers can be placed. Track busway’s open channel design enables operators to position outlets anywhere along the busway, creating a flexible power distribution system that is easily customized to maximize space and adapt to changing needs.
Overcoming Capacity Limitations
One of the biggest operational challenges is ensuring equipment is charged and ready when needed. Capacity constraints can lead to carts sitting idle, essential equipment going uncharged, and scheduling conflicts, especially during high-traffic times such as outings. With track busway, power distribution becomes dynamic. Adding outlets is simple and fast and does not require an electrician. This adaptability helps courses maintain smooth operations without costly delays.
Enabling Efficient Operations
A golf course’s lack of power access can impact the efficiency of its entire operation. Instead of designing a charging setup around existing outlets, busway offers an overhead, adaptable grid with easy plug-and-play modifications. Adding additional power takes minutes, not days, giving facility managers the flexibility to respond to evolving needs without major disruptions.
Futureproofing Your Course’s Power Infrastructure
As battery technology continues to advance, course infrastructure must keep up. Track busway empowers golf courses to overcome electrical challenges while delivering flexible, scalable power that supports current needs while preparing for the future.
