When the US President was spotted golfing in Scotland over the weekend, a new $190k armored golf cart made an appearance. It’s been dubbed Golf Force One, and it’s being used for Secret Service tee times and beyond.
No one has quite seen anything like it before, and it is clearly no ordinary golf cart; it doesn’t particularly look like a traditional golf cart either.
Dubbed ‘Golf Force One’ by the media, this new, strange-looking golf cart is the newest addition to the president’s golfing motorcade, and it made its debut over the weekend in Scotland.
Instead of being the traditional open-air affair we’re used to, Golf Force One is actually a popular and heavy-duty Utility-Task Vehicle in disguise.

Golf Force One is an armored golf cart for Secret Service tee times
When the US President went golfing in Scotland over the weekend, there was a new vehicle in the motorcade lineup up and it’s caused quite the hubbub online.
Nicknamed Golf Force One by the media, this is no ordinary golf cart, it’s not the traditional open-air affair, it’s literally armoured and bullet-proof, made to whisk the president away when he’s golfing.
It’s not a golf cart, it’s actually a Polaris Ranger XP 1000, a Utility-Task Vehicle (UTV) in disguise with blacked-out windows and an armoured body.

In the case of an emergency
Like a lot of the US President’s vehicles, we have been given little information about the intricacies of Golf Force One, so that people don’t know how to take advantage of it.
The US General Services Administration (GSA) has listed an armoured Polaris Ranger XP 1000 that comes with a whopping price tag of $188,922, and a secret service member has confirmed that it’s part of the president’s fleet.
Despite the cool new armored golf cart, the president was seen driving around the golf course in Scotland in a traditional open-air golf cart, c’est la vie.
