Golf Carts for Disabled Golfers at All Courses

SOMERSET COUNTY PARK COMMISSION ANNOUNCES ACQUISITION OF 4 MORE “SOLORIDER” GOLF CARTS

ALL County Golf Courses Now Accessible to All Players


The Somerset County Park Commission purchased 4 new SoloRider electric golf carts to accommodate golfers with disabilities. SoloRider carts are now on site at all 5 County operated golf courses - Neshanic Valley in Branchburg, Green Knoll Golf Coures in Bridgewater, Quail Brook and Spookly Brook Golf Course in Franklin Township, and Warrenbrook Golf Course in Warren.


Carts were available on-site at Neshanic Valley Golf Course and the Academy Course at Neshanic Valley for the past two years. When needed at other facilities, the carts were transported by Park Commission personnel. The additional carts will enable the Commission to have one cart available at all times at all facilities.

The single seat golf cart allows golfers with limited mobility to continue to enjoy any of the five Somerset County public courses. The carts are designed to allow golfers to play using the elevated seat, to ride on greens with no impact on the turf, to maintain stability over rough terrain, and allow ease of enter and exit with a 350 degree swivel seat.


Reservations for the SoloRider carts must be made by phone to the course 24-hours prior to desired tee time. Contact information for the courses may be found at www.somersetcountyparks.org.
