Shadow Caddy – A Better Way to Play Golf™

Shadow Caddy is a completely new golfing product. It is a robotic caddy that faithfully follows you around the course, carrying your bags just like a human caddy. Simply settle your bag on your Shadow Caddy and off you go, free to enjoy your walk and concentrate on your game without the distraction of dragging your clubs around or fiddling with remote controls.

The result is, undoubtedly, a better way to play golf.

Completely hands free
Unlike other electric golf carts, Shadow Caddy does not work by remote control. Instead, it follows a small transmitter attached to your belt. This means that there are no joysticks to deal with – it is completely hands free.

This is a crucial difference – Shadow Caddy gives you the freedom on the course usually only experienced by professionals.

Shadow Caddy is equipped with a sophisticated object detection system which prevent collisions with people or other objects on the course. It also carries your sand buckets and drinks, enhancing your golfing experience as much as possible.

For Hire
The Shadow Caddy is primarily intended to be purchased by golf clubs and hired out to golfers for a small fee per round.
