SCOTTSDALE, Arizona — Long known for its popular Segway golf vehicles, the innovative Kierland Golf Club at The Westin Kierland Resort & Spa has introduced yet another new way for golfers to enjoy the course – by bicycle.

New golf bikes allow golfers to enjoy the game while getting a workout. Designed to create minimal impact on the course and maximum fun and fitness for the golfer, the bicycles feature small-diameter wheels outfitted with wide rubber tires, and two custom-designed golf bags, mounted to the rear of the bike and sized to carry a full set of clubs.

Nancy Dickens, director of golf at The Westin Kierland Resort & Spa, shares her resort’s players are looking for fun, new ways to enjoy the game through innovative programs and products.

“The new golf bikes are another opportunity for us to make golf even more enjoyable for those who enjoy the fitness aspect of riding on the course and who may want to trim the time it takes to play a round,” she said. She estimates that it takes an average of one hour to play nine holes when playing on bikes.

For information about the new golf bikes at the Kierland Golf Club or to book a tee time, call 480-922-9283 or visit www.kierlandgolf.com

The Kierland Golf Club is a Troon-managed course designed by Scott Miller featuring 27 holes. The three nines, each with its own unique routing and strategy, pair up together nicely for an equally enjoyable challenge. Golfers rave about the air-conditioned golf carts and covered driving range.

Kierland Golf Club’s innovative FORE-MAX program helps golfers step up their performance through improved fitness, flexibility and nutrition. With its customized workouts, FORE-MAX is also a popular fitness option for those who don’t play golf.

For a unique golf experience, Kierland Golf Club offers a Scottish golf program, where golfers play in a traditional Scottish kilt, and Segway Golf, where golfers traverse the course on a Segway specially crafted to carry their golf bag. Traditional golf instruction by award-winning instructors Mike and Sandy LaBauve is offered at the LaBauve Golf Academy and ProFit custom club fitting also is available.
