The Paramotion is able to access most areas of the golf course. Its low-pressure tyres and wide stance allow it to be used on all areas of the golf course (including greens and appropriately designed bunkers), and on the driving range and practice area.
You can try a Paramotion at any of our regular Come and Try Golf clinics. Paramotions are available to hire at Empower Golf Hubs around the country.
Apart from golf, the Paramotion can be used for any activity that would benefit from its all-terrain capabilities and stand-up functionality. Our players have used it for activities such as fishing, archery, photography, shooting, and just hugging a loved one.
The Paramotion is regularly used by people with high level spinal cord injuries, but can also be used by anyone with mobility or stability issues.
Empower Golf and specially trained staff at Empower Golf Hubs run Paramotion training sessions.
The training covers the basic operation, maintenance and set up of the Paramotion and how to safely use the Paramotion around a golf course.
Once a player has completed their Paramotion training, they can hire a Paramotion at a number of Empower Golf Hubs around the country.
The one off training costs $300. Contact us to book or discuss funding options if required.
Paramotions are available for hire (just like a golf cart) at Moore Park Golf, Long Reef Golf Club and The Ridge in Sydney, Parkwood on the Gold Coast and Sandhurst Golf Club in Melbourne.
Wembley Golf Club in Perth and Curlewis Golf Club in Geelong will be up and running soon. Each club has its own conditions of use, so it is wise to call ahead to check for availability.
We are also currently in discussions with 20 new locations around the country.
The Paramotion weighs approximately 200kg.
This weight is required to provide a steady platform and to offset the dynamic forces generated from a golf swing.
However, with its low-pressure tyres and wide stance, it spreads its weight across a wide footprint.
Bookings not currently available here. Check back soon or contact us for details.
Booking at other Hub locations coming soon!
Steps to Book:
Please arrive 15 mins prior to your tee time to check in with the club.
For people with limited hand function or upper limb amputation, there is a vast array of gripping solutions that can be employed to enable or improve the player’s hold on the golf club.
In our experience, we have managed to provide a solution for any level of hand and wrist function, including Empower Golf’s founder James Gribble (C4-5 incomplete quadriplegic with minimal wrist and hand function) who has had to road test many solutions including those below.
The simplest gripping solution is to use a broad strip of reinforced elastic with sturdy velcro fastening to firmly strap a player’s hand to the club.
Although this solution provides a solid grip, depending on the player’s overall hand function, assistance from a caddy or helper could be required.
An alternative is a customised glove with a gripping tube.
The club is inserted into the tube.
The customised glove firmly holds the club in a consistent manner.
And like any golf swing, there will be days when the griping solution will seem to work better than other days.
