purchased the unit from UK SPORTIMPORTS. have had the buggy for 11 months, the batteries failed in the 9th month. have had to wait a month for them to find some replacement batteries and the then they want to charge me 170 pounds to replace the batteries with a larger capacity ones. when asked the price of the original batteries the price was the same as the larger ones, but they refused to do a straight swap.they also expect me to pay for the us batteries to be sent back to the warehouse....

Unless Hillman find a decent agent, this buggy should be avoided. I have had AWFUL service from them (sportsimports)and now think they may have gone bust as they dont answer the phones or emails. I am in desperate need of a part but cannot get it so the buggy is useless. (read more)

“Regret purchase. ”
Written on: 27/08/2010
Regret purchase.
Several problems in first year but some of the replacement parts sent by
company under the warranty were clearly second hand and slightly damaged.
Company refused refund despite the various problems. Trolley now only fit for the bin. Waste of money but you get what you pay for!

HILLMAN PRO DRIVE GOLF BUGGY - UKSPORTS IMPORTS
Summary
Good points - Price, looks, sturdy build for price (eg metal frame work, motor weather tight, wheels, hair handle bars)
Bad points - Use of some very cheap componets which lets overall reliability down.(esp cabling poor quality)
Note - Buggy is only suitable for short to Medium length course & flat to mild undulating.
Finally some golfers I have spoken 2 have had few problems. But most of these perhaps only play on a less regular...

The Hillman Pro Drive Golf Buggy Fits into a reasonably sized Hatchback, is easily assembled and dismantled. It's noisy in forward drive, In wet weather it could do with "Mudguards" as water is thrown up quite high. Value for money is quite good. (read more)

Written on: 03/06/2008 by arthen (1 review written)
After using the Buggy for one summer new 'Bushes' were required, these are not available separate, the only way to remedy is to replace the motor at a cost of £239-95.
On 2 occasions telephone calls waiting in a queue were held for 3 minutes then cut off by the supplier with a business times message.
I will not buy one again.

I think most of the parts on this are the same as the GTS trolley from The SportsHQ
