The growth of golf in China hasn’t only benefited U.S. designers and builders.
E-Z-GO believes that it controls 40 percent of the market for golf cars in the People’s Republic, which has become one of its top five sales territories. “I think there are 500 golf courses in China right now, and we are working with more of them than anyone else,” Kevin Holleran, the company’s president, told China Daily earlier this year.
E-Z-GO’s first Chinese customer was Mission Hills Shenzhen, which was an ideal place to start. In China, the average E-Z-GO car reportedly sells for about $7,200.
