The partnership with Golf It! It will see six ScottishPower electric (EV) chargers installed on site allowing 12 vehicles to be charged simultaneously.
In just six months, the EV chargers have driven nearly 40,000 electric miles, which is the equivalent of driving from Land’s End to John O’Groats more than 47 times.
These EV charging points are also powered by 100 percent renewable energy.
Golf it! is a community golf and entertainment facility that opened on Hogganfield Loch last August to make golf more accessible and inclusive.
Russell Smith, CEO of Golf It!, said: “Working with ScottishPower, we’ve reduced our carbon footprint and attracted new visitors who want to relax while charging their electric cars.
“Since opening, the electric chargers have been popular with people popping in to enjoy all the facilities at our golf and family entertainment venue.”
Other local attractions such as the Whitelee Wind Farm and the Glasgow Science Center also join the route.
Bob Murphy, Technical Director at ScottishPower, said: “Golf It! is a great example of how green technology benefits both a business and its community.
“ScottishPower manages the design, installation and service so Golf It! can concentrate on bringing its unique golf experience to the community.
“Electric vehicle charging is a new revenue stream for the community center and we’ve seen the chargers attract new visitors already.”
