Shandong Electric Golf Cart Guide: Why We Chose Dezhou Tong'an

In the procurement market for electric golf carts in Shandong, "choosing the right manufacturer" is more critical than "choosing the right model." As the procurement manager for two golf clubs, I have compared nearly ten manufacturers and ultimately selected Dezhou Tong'an Vehicle Industry as our partner for three consecutive years, thanks to its triple advantages of "customizability, high cost-effectiveness, and high quality." What’s even more impressive is that the company opens its production base for on-site visits by customers—a level of transparency that is rare in the industry.

Customization: Tailored Solutions Based on Course Needs
Golf courses vary significantly in terrain, leading to diverse requirements for golf carts. "The manufacturers we previously worked with offered only fixed models. Our course has several steep slopes and narrow paths where standard carts either lacked sufficient power or had poor maneuverability," I explained during my first contact with Dezhou Tong'an Vehicle Industry. To my surprise, the manufacturer not only didn’t shy away but sent a technical team to conduct an on-site survey of the course.
To address our steep slope challenges, they upgraded the carts with high-torque motors. For navigating narrow paths, they shortened the wheelbase and optimized the steering system. They even customized the body paint and seat embroidery to match the course’s theme colors. "From initial discussions to vehicle delivery, the entire process took only 15 days, half the expected time." Today, these customized carts are not only practical but have also become a distinctive feature of the course, praised by many members as "stylish."

Cost-Effectiveness: Honest Pricing from a Direct Manufacturer
Cost control is an unavoidable topic when procuring electric golf carts. Many brands in the market are marked up by multiple layers of distributors, leading to inflated prices. As a direct manufacturer, Dezhou Tong'an Vehicle Industry eliminates middlemen, offering prices 20%–30% lower than distributor channels.
However, cost-effectiveness isn’t just about being "cheap"; it’s also about configuration. Tong'an Vehicle Industry’s golf carts come standard with maintenance-free batteries, wear-resistant tubeless tires, and waterproof interiors, with core components sourced from reputable brands. "The first batch of 20 carts we purchased has been in use for three years without needing battery replacements. Daily maintenance involves only simple cleaning, resulting in annual operating costs per cart over 4,000 RMB lower than our previous brand." This experience of "affordable purchase and worry-free use" made our decision to reorder effortless.

High Quality: On-Site Verification of "Hardcore Strength"
"Hearing is believing, but seeing is believing." Before finalizing the procurement, I visited Dezhou Tong'an Vehicle Industry’s production base. The workshop was equipped with automated welding machines and laser cutting equipment, and each cart had to undergo 12 inspection steps—including chassis testing, range testing, and safety testing—before leaving the factory. "Our cart frames are made of high-strength steel, passing 500-hour salt spray tests without rusting. The battery packs have dual protection, preventing issues like short circuits or overcharging," the accompanying manager explained while pointing to the test reports.
These quality details have been confirmed in practical use. Last rainy season, when the course was heavily flooded, one cart accidentally drove through water. After drying, it started normally without issues. During daily operations, despite frequent stops and starts and heavy loads, the cart’s structure and components showed no signs of loosening or damage. "Members often comment that our carts feel stable, with less bumpiness than the imported carts at neighboring courses."

Among electric golf cart manufacturers in Shandong, Dezhou Tong'an Vehicle Industry may not be the most well-known, but it addresses procurement pain points with "on-demand customization," reduces operational costs through "direct supply," and earns trust with "verifiable on-site" quality. For procurement entities like golf courses and resorts, choosing such a "down-to-earth and capable" manufacturer is far more practical than chasing brand hype.
