Golf Magic Q Follow Carbon Review

By James Clough June 20, 2024

Johnny Percival of Golf Magic takes his first steps with Follow.

"Not all golf trolleys were made equal, and the best possible example is the Stewart Golf Q Follow Carbon."

The Q Follow Carbon, or QFC, as we will now refer to it, is the Rolls Royce of electric trolleys. 

Featuring a carbon fibre body, four wheels, an innovative follow function and a handy remote, this trolley is capable of revolutionising how you play golf. 

Built and designed in England, Stewart Golf trolleys are made from premium materials and engineered to deliver dependable and innovative transportation for your clubs. 

We tested out the QFC at Minchinhampton Golf Club to see how it performed. 

Let's get into it. 
Golfing fanatic, photographer, and Stewart Golf ambassador, Patrick Koenig, recently smashed the world record for the number of golf courses played in a year (580 to be exact), but the most impressive part may be that for the majority of these rounds, he walked.

From teeing off his RGV Tour at Monarch Beach, to sinking a two-footer for par on the 18th at Chambers Bay, Koenig completed 580 rounds at different 18-hole courses, spanning across 40+ US states.

Speaking on his world record, Koenig revealed that of the 580 courses played, he had walked at least 70% of them, accompanied by ‘Stewie’, his trusty Stewart Golf Q Follow electric trolley. The previous record stood at 449, a record that Koenig surpassed on October 17th.

“I love to walk, and I always prefer to walk,” said Koenig. “I like rolling with my guy Stewie. You definitely feel like you accomplish more. Everybody takes a cart here and there, at least in America, but when you’re rocking with Stewie and you’re done, you’re like ‘oh yeah, that was a good 18!’.

Throughout his challenge, Koenig continued his work as a professional golf course photographer, swapping the clubs for a camera between shots. Having Stewie following behind at all times also allowed Koenig to be completely handsfree, giving him the freedom to get those all-important snaps.

“Walking a golf course is probably 5-10 times more immersive than getting in a cart. As a photographer, walking the course takes me to places and angles that I might not see if I’m in a cart. I love to walk over riding, that’s for sure.”

Golf Monthly put the VERTX Remote through its paces, against a couple of its market rivals.

The latest model to roll out of the Stewart factory, how did the VERTX Remote trolley perform versus its rivals?

It's been a busy period in the remote electric trolley market. New models have been launched from pretty much every electric trolley brand out there and the innovations in this space have been coming thick and fast, all offering golfers a new remote experience throughout 2023 and into 2024. Dan Parker, writer and head equipment reviewer at Golf monthly, was interested to see how the VERTX could cement Stewart's place atop the remote trolley standings.

Let's get into it. 

"We've tested a few remote-controlled trolleys in our time, but the QFC is undoubtedly one of the best."

For one of the bigger trolleys on the market, the QFC takes up a fairly limited amount of boot space, which is quite remarkable. Combined with an inbuilt handle, this makes the trolley very portable and very easy to take in and out of your car.


Once our trolley and bag were set up, we headed out onto the course. The first feature we were keen to test was the remote control. 


While remote may seem alien to some, rest assured, the buttons are very intuitive, and it took us only the best part of one hole to fully get to grips with how each function works. 


Changing direction only requires a simple tap of the left or right arrow, and the forward and back arrow buttons are equally easy to use if you want to increase or decrease speed. 


Thanks to the Bluetooth connectivity of the remote, you can control the trolley from quite some distance; there were times when we must have been at least 20 metres away from ours, and it had no issue at all responding to our every command. 


The remote is precise and fast, which means any commands are actioned within milliseconds of you pressing a button. 


The remote's functionality is superb, allowing us to walk at leisure up the fairway, deviating from our trolley without a care in the world. 


We've tested a few remote-controlled trolleys in our time, but the QFC is undoubtedly one of the best. 


Thanks to the addition of an anti-tip wheel at the back of the trolley, you also don't have to worry about rough terrain or sharp hills, as the trolley will self-right itself, preventing the contents of your bag from spilling all over the fairway. 


While the remote function was incredibly impressive, what really blew us away was the follow function.

"We honestly can't speak highly enough of this"

To activate the follow function you simply need to stand behind the trolley, click the follow button and begin to walk away. 


Once you've taken a few steps, the trolley will leap into life and follow behind you by about two metres.


If you slow down or speed up, the trolley will instantly react and maintain a constant distance behind you. 

Take Charge - Ready to power your game

Battery options include Stewart Golf’s SmartPower Lithium battery, available in 27- or 45-hole capacities. It is a user-friendly plug-and-play unit that allows you to monitor battery usage and capacity in real-time using the free Stewart Golf app.

Even when walking in rough, or through tight gaps, the trolley had no problem at all keeping up.The best compliment we can really pay the QFC is that it's probably the closest thing you can purchase to a real-life caddie.
