I used a Segway for about a year when I was rehabbing Plantar Fasciitis in my right foot. Here on the Gulf Coast most courses are "personal mobility" friendly. Not ALL holes are Segway friendly.
Pros: -Gives those with limited mobility - more mobility.
-Shortens the time it takes to throw a round (by about half).
- Segways, or the Airwheel that I use, generally have wider tires, for stability and to reduce damage to the ground. I would not use a two-wheel scooter.
- Makes hill climbs much easier. (up to about a 20 degree incline).
- Makes it much quicker to retrieve a disc you left on the ground a hole or two ago.
Cons: -Soft ground can be hazardous. Especially sand.
-Roots can be tough to navigate safely. Best to walk your device on these holes.
-Water, whether from dew, rain, or puddles, can wreak havoc on electric devices.
- Nearly impossible to pull a cart on a Segway, so it's a shoulder bag or backpack.
I prefer walking and pulling a Zuca, depending on what course I am playing. However, if I am unable to walk without pain, I will jump on my Airwheel in a second. My love of the game far outweighs any criticism from the masses, about how I choose to get around. Which leads me to a bit of advice my dad gave me when I was just a child: The only opinions that matter are those of friends and family. Everyone else's opinions should be taken with a grain of salt, as they likely do not have YOUR best interests at heart.
