"Our partnership with E-Z-GO has been crucial to the success of Alabama's Robert Trent Jones Golf Trail since our inception 17 years ago, and we couldn't be more pleased to extend this relationship for at least six more years," said John Cannon, president of SunBelt Golf Corp., the company responsible for managing The Trail on behalf of The Retirement Systems of Alabama.
"We are proud and honored to provide our vehicles to the Robert Trent Jones Golf Trail," said E-Z-GO President Kevin P. Holleran. "The Trail includes some of the most renowned golf facilities and resorts in the world. We are delighted that the Trail's decision-makers recognized the value that E-Z-GO can provide to help these world-class facilities exceed their customers' every need."
Under the terms of the agreement, E-Z-GO will provide a total of 1,584 RXV fleet golf cars and 300 grounds-maintenance vehicles to the Trail's 11 facilities.
