Arlington Heights, IL: Lawn Mowing Robots for Golf Fairways and Rough, Freeing Crew Hours for Greens

57°FOvercast in Arlington Heights right now

Lawn mowing robots in Arlington Heights give a golf course its fairways and rough cut on a set schedule, with nobody sitting on the mower seat. The robot follows a mapped route, stays out of the areas marked off, and heads back to its charger when the pass is done. The superintendent still decides when and where it runs.

The real gain is crew hours. Fairway and rough passes eat a big share of a morning, and an autonomous fairway mower hands that time back for greens, tees, bunker edges and trim work, the things golfers actually notice. It also helps when a seasonal hire falls through or someone calls out. One staff member keeps an eye on the machine, and RoboCare™ backs that person with 24/7 support and a technical specialist on triage within 10 minutes.

Northern Illinois is cool-season turf country. Growth surges in spring and again in early fall, slows in the July heat, and stops under snow. When the grass is moving, fairways need frequent cuts, and that collides with league nights, member events and outings that fill the tee sheet. A robot can mow fairways at night or before the first group, then sit on its charger while play goes through. Wet spring turf still calls for the superintendent's judgment on whether to send it out, and the schedule is easy to hold back for a day.

Golf courses are not the only big lawns around here. Village and park district parks, school and college campuses, corporate grounds and athletic fields all have the same long, open cuts that tie up a ride-on mower. A robotic mower for sports fields or parks is set up the same way, with a mapped route and agreed mowing times. You lease it through financing with one fixed payment, quoted after a free site assessment.

Who does what in Arlington Heights

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 Arlington Heights: city parks, school and college grounds, corporate campuses, and athletic fields.

How it works in Arlington Heights

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.

Common questions

Chicago-area courses rely mainly on cool-season grasses such as creeping bentgrass, Poa annua, fescues and Kentucky bluegrass, according to a recent Chicago District Golf Association publication. Those grasses grow hardest in spring and fall, so the mowing schedule is tighter then. We map the fairways and rough, mark the areas the robot stays out of, and the superintendent sets how often it runs for the turf on that course.
