Bloomingdale, IL: Robotic Mowers for Golf Course Fairways and Rough, Keeping Crews on Greens

A lawn mowing robot can keep the fairways and rough at a Bloomingdale golf course cut on a mapped route, so the crew is not spending its day in a mower seat. Once the course is mapped, the machine runs its passes on its own, steers around the marked no-go areas and heads back to its charger when the run is finished. Greens, tees, bunkers and trim still belong to the crew. What the crew gets back is the time that went into driving fairway and rough passes, and that time can go to the detail work golfers actually notice.

The biggest change is when the mowing happens. With no one on board, the robot can run early in the morning or after play ends, outside the hours golfers are out. Robotic mowers are usually much quieter than a ride-on, which matters near a clubhouse patio or a finishing hole. There are limits worth knowing before you commit: the robot does not touch greens, tees or bunkers, and a superintendent will still want a person on site for the odd day when a downed branch or a storm blocks the route.

Around Bloomingdale, golf turf is mostly cool-season grass, so the heavy growth comes in late spring and the fairways slow down when July heat and humidity arrive. Spring is when a robotic mower earns its keep, because the crew can keep the same lines cut as often as the growth demands without pulling anyone off the greens. In the hottest weeks a superintendent may raise cutting heights and mow less, and a set schedule makes it easy to run the robot in cooler hours. Fall brings a second push of growth, then the grass goes dormant with the hard frosts and the mower sits idle until spring.

The same kind of mower suits the other big lawns around Bloomingdale that are not golf courses. Park district land, school athletic fields and the open grounds at corporate campuses and business parks all have long, repeat cutting lines that a mapped route can follow. Ball fields need the most setup, since backstops, dugouts and goal frames become no-go zones, and the route is drawn to go around them just as it goes around a course's marked areas. A robotic mower works well on these grounds for the same reason it works on fairways: the lines repeat, and the crew decides when they run.

Who does what in Bloomingdale

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

How it works in Bloomingdale

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.
