Located in the heart of East Renfrewshire, just a short drive from Glasgow City Centre, Fereneze Golf Club offers a mature 18-hole moorland course spanning nearly 6,000 yards. The course is renowned for its spectacular views across the Clyde Valley, with panoramic vistas stretching towards Glasgow and, on clear days, as far as Ben Lomond.
As a forward-thinking club committed to enhancing its facilities, Fereneze recognised early the need to introduce EV charging infrastructure, driven by increasing EV adoption among its members and visitors.

The Connekt team took the time to understand our requirements and long-term vision, and there was clear alignment from the outset. Their site survey and recommendations ensured we could install the right solution using our existing power supply, while also identifying and securing funding. This made the decision straightforward for our Management Committee. The installation has provided a valuable additional benefit for our members and visitors, as well as creating a new revenue stream for the club.”
Connekt worked closely with key stakeholders at the club, including the Club Secretary and Vice-Captain, to fully understand both immediate requirements and future ambitions.
The approach included:

The project was delivered through one of Connekt’s bespoke funding solutions. Connekt managed the full funding application process, secured approval, and oversaw the installation from start to finish creating a seamless, hands-off experience for the team. This made the decision to proceed straight forward for the club’s Management Committee.
The installation has delivered both operational and commercial benefits:
By introducing EV charging, Fereneze Golf Club has enhanced its offering while positioning itself as a modern, forward-thinking venue.
