The Secret Service debuted a heavily fortified vehicle nicknamed “Golf Force One”

The US Secret Service has introduced a new armored escort vehicle – a modified Polaris Ranger dubbed by the press as “Golf Force One” – to shadow President Donald Trump during golf outings. The vehicle was first sighted at his Turnberry course in Scotland this past weekend. 

The all-black, military-style buggy trailed Trump while he played on the expansive golf links. Although Trump himself rode in a standard golf cart, the armored Ranger followed closely behind.

The vehicle reportedly features armored panels, tinted bulletproof windows, and visibly reinforced rear sections – a level of protection unusual for golf outings. Security experts noted its light frame allows for high mobility across grassy terrain while offering ballistic defense in the case of a crisis.

Additional security measures are being deployed to protect Trump, even on the golf course, according to the Telegraph.

According to The War Zone, the vehicle is based on the Polaris Ranger XP 1000, a widely used utility terrain vehicle (UTV) designed for off-road transportation by law enforcement and military agencies. A Polaris spokesperson confirmed to the outlet that the vehicle had been manufactured by the company but heavily modified by a third party.
