Bartlett, IL: Lawn Mowing Robots for Golf Course Fairways and Rough, Freeing Crews for Greens

37°FClear in Bartlett right now

Lawn mowing robots can cut the fairways and rough at a Bartlett golf course on a mapped route, so the grounds crew stops spending its days on a mower seat. The robot runs its route, returns to its charger when the pass is done, and waits for the next window on the schedule. Fairways and rough usually take the most mower hours on a course, which makes them the first place the change shows up. Greens, tees, bunkers and trim stay with the crew.

What comes back to the crew is time for the work golfers actually notice. Greens need daily attention, and tees, bunkers and edges get squeezed when people are riding fairway passes all day. A superintendent can set the robot to run overnight or in quiet hours, so the crew spends daylight on hand work. The fairways still get cut, just without a person sitting on a machine for every pass.

Bartlett sits in the northern Illinois cool-season zone, with a mowing season that runs roughly April through October and fairways often growing bluegrass, ryegrass or bentgrass. Hot, humid July and August weeks slow the turf and stress it, so superintendents often raise the cut or move mowing to cooler hours, and an overnight schedule suits that well. On weekends with outings or member events, the robot holds its run until the course clears, then picks up the fairways again. Leaves come down in October, so the crew clears debris before the robot runs, and the schedule winds down once the turf goes dormant for winter.

The same robotic mower fits other large lawns around Bartlett too. Park grounds, school and college campuses, corporate office grounds and sports fields all have big open turf that runs on a steady schedule. A robot on a mapped route can cover those open areas while staff handle edges, beds and the tight spots. Sites with long open runs suit it best, and very tight areas with a lot of obstacles may stay with a person.

Who does what in Bartlett

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

How it works in Bartlett

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

Bartlett is in northern Illinois, and the Illinois State Water Survey's growing season figures for the far north of the state average about 180 days. Most courses here mow from roughly April through October, and the schedule winds down once the turf goes dormant. We walk the course with the superintendent first, so the robot's run dates line up with spring green-up and the October leaf drop.
