Alpena, MI: Lawn mowing robots for golf course fairways and rough, leased through financing

Lawn mowing robots can cut the fairways and rough at an Alpena golf course on a mapped route, so the crew does not have to ride the same passes all day. The mower follows its boundaries, stays out of the areas we mark off, and returns to its charger when the route is finished. Because it repeats the same path every time, the cut stays even from one pass to the next, which is hard to hold with a rider working in a hurry.

The payoff for the crew is time. Hours that used to go to driving fairway and rough passes can go to the work golfers actually notice, like bunker faces, edging and cleanup after a storm. Lighter, quieter machines also tend to press the turf less and disturb a clubhouse patio less, which matters when someone is trying to eat lunch while the course gets mowed.

Alpena's season is short and it moves fast. Cool-season grasses like bluegrass and fescue push hard in late spring and again in early fall, then slow down during dry summer stretches. Wet spring ground and heavy rain can hold the mower back for a while, so the schedule needs slack built into it. Expect the mower to run most when the grass is growing fastest, and to ease off when the course is busy or the turf needs a rest.

The same kind of mower fits the other big lawns around town. City and township parks, school and college campuses, and corporate grounds all have long runs of turf that someone pushes a mower across every week. Athletic fields are a good fit too, where a mower can keep the turf cut between games and practices.

Who does what in Alpena

What the robot mows and what your crew does

The robot

Fairways and rough

It follows a mapped route, mows holes that are clear of play, and returns to its charger when it is done. No one rides it.

Your crew

Greens, tees, bunkers and trim

These stay with your crew. The hours they spent mowing fairways go to this work instead.

Other big lawns

Parks, campuses and sports fields

The same kind of mower suits large open turf around Alpena: city parks, school and college grounds, corporate campuses, and athletic fields.

How it works in Alpena

From site assessment to mowing in six steps

  1. 1
    We walk the course

    A free site assessment: fairways and rough, cart-path crossings, bridges, slopes, and where a charger can go. If a robot mower does not fit, we say so.

  2. 2
    We map it

    We map the fairways and rough the mower will cut and mark the areas it stays out of, like greens, tees, bunkers, and water.

  3. 3
    We set the schedule

    Mowing times are agreed with your superintendent around tee times, and changed for tournaments and member events.

  4. 4
    We quote the lease

    You lease the mower through financing. The payment comes in a quote after the assessment.

  5. 5
    We train your team

    One staff member learns to keep an eye on it and call us when something looks off. Servicing stays with us.

  6. 6
    We keep it running

    RoboCare™: 24/7 support with 10-minute triage, regional service engineers in every state we service, 3 check visits a year, and a 12-month warranty.
