District of Taylor continues Lone Wolf golf cart fleet renewal plan

FORT ST. JOHN, B.C. – The District of Taylor is finalizing the latest round of trade-in upgrades to the Lone Wolf Golf Course’s golf cart fleet. 

At the Lone Wolf Golf Club in Taylor, upgrades to the golf cart fleet are being finalized with one last trade-in of 20 carts. 

During the December 2nd meeting of council, the District of Taylor Council approved an agreement to purchase 20 golf carts from Oakcreek Golf and Turf in the latest round of fleet upgrades.

According to the District’s 2023 and 2024 Capital Plan, the fleet of carts at the golf carts were identified as requiring upgrading in 2021, and a plan was drawn up to split the costs of the upgrades across five years.

Replacements began in 2021, when 15 carts were purchased for delivery in 2022. The next year 15 more were purchased, and in 2023 10 more carts were purchased. In each Capital Plan moving forward to 2026, ten per year are budgeted for replacement. 

The 20 carts will be purchased for $210,627, however the price will decrease due to the trade-in value of the older carts. Following this latest trade-in, the oldest golf carts in the Lone Wolf’s fleet will be 7 years old.
