About Us

Built Different. Built to Last.

QOD Golf International is an Australian company with a single focus: designing and manufacturing the finest electric golf buggy in the world. Not the cheapest. Not the most common. The best.

Where QOD Began

QOD stands for Quality of Design - and that name did not come from a marketing brief. It came from the founding principle that drove every decision from day one.

Founder Collin Hiss had spent decades in corporate life and even more years on the golf course. He knew what a great buggy should feel like. He also knew that nothing on the market came close to delivering it. Too many buggies were built to a price. Designed to be replaced. Built without any real thought for the golfer pushing or riding them.

So he started from scratch.

The QOD buggy was the result of ten years of detailed research - studying how golf buggies perform, how they fail, and how golfers actually use them on a course. That research informed every material choice, every mechanism, every joint and connection in the product. Nothing was included without a reason. Nothing was cut to save cost at the expense of quality.

Recognised on the World Stage

QOD Golf won the European PGA Product Design Award in Munich, Germany - judged against an international field on five criteria: functionality, degree of innovation, user-friendliness and comfort, design and style, and cost-benefit ratio.

When the award was announced, Collin Hiss said:

"This win is a testament to our teams skills and continued commitment to deliver the worlds most efficient compact electric golf buggy - with the aim of making every golfers life easier."

The award confirmed what QOD already knew: that building without compromise produces something genuinely different.

What We Build With

Every QOD buggy is manufactured using materials chosen for one reason: they last. We do not cut corners on what you cannot see, because we know that is exactly where most products fail.

QOD buggies are built from:

  • Nylon 66 with 30% glass fibre reinforcement - stronger and lighter than standard plastics
  • Aircraft-grade Aluminium 6061-T6 - the same specification used in aerospace and high-performance engineering
  • Stainless steel shafts, tubing, and fasteners throughout - no rust, no corrosion, no failure points

These are not marketing claims. They are engineering choices that mean your QOD buggy will not let you down on year five, year ten, or year fifteen.

The Most Sustainable Buggy on the Market

Most golf buggies are designed to be replaced. When something breaks, or when a new model launches, you buy again. That is good for manufacturers. It is bad for you, and it is bad for the planet.

QOD was designed differently. Every buggy in the range is built on the same modular platform, which means your buggy can grow with you:

  • Start with the Q0 Manual Push Caddy
  • Upgrade to the Q1 Electric Buggy when you are ready
  • Step up to the Q2 Fully Remote-Controlled Buggy at any point
  • Choose the Q3 if you want a traditional wide rear wheelbase - built for very rough courses where compactness is less important than stability and rugged performance

You are not buying a new product - you are upgrading the one you already own. No other company in the world offers this level of upgradeability across their golf buggy range.

The Q0, Q1, and Q2 are available in both Compact and All Terrain versions. The Q3 is QODs traditional wide-wheelbase model - the choice for golfers who play on demanding terrain and do not need a buggy that folds small.

Proudly Australian Made

QOD buggies are designed and manufactured in Australia. That matters to us, and it matters to the golfers who buy them.

It means tighter quality control. It means faster service and support. And it means that when you call QOD, you speak to the people who actually build the product.

We stand behind every buggy we make with a warranty that reflects genuine confidence in what we build. Because we know it is built to last.
