Brookings, SD: Lawn Mowing Robots for Golf Course Fairways and Rough, Leased Through Financing

53°FOvercast in Brookings right now

Lawn mowing robots can cut the fairways and rough at a Brookings golf course on a mapped route, so no one has to sit on a mower seat for every pass. The robot works the long, repeated passes and then drives back to its charger when the cut is done. Greens, tees, bunkers and trim stay with your crew. What the crew gets back is time for the close work golfers actually notice.

Hiring people willing to spend long shifts on a mower is hard in a small town, and that is a real problem for many courses. A mowing robot takes those repeated fairway and rough passes off the crew's list, so the rough gets cut on a steady rhythm instead of in bursts between other jobs. The robot can run in the quiet hours when no one is on the course. Your people stay free for the hands-on work on greens and tees.

Brookings has cold winters, so the turf here is usually cool-season grass, and the real mowing season runs from spring green-up into fall. Wet springs push growth fast, while July and August heat and humidity slow the grass, so the cut frequency should change through the year. The robot can run more often in spring and fall and lighter in midsummer. Its schedule can also be set around weekend play and club events, so the fairways look right when golfers arrive.

The same kind of mower suits other big lawns around Brookings. City and county parks with wide open turf, school and college campuses, corporate grounds and sports fields all have long mowing hours to fill. An autonomous mower for parks works the same way, on a mapped route, timed around when people use the space. On sports fields the robot can handle the open turf while the crew keeps the edges, lines and anything that needs a careful hand.

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.

How it works in Brookings

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

Brookings sits in a cool-season grass climate, so the turf is usually cool-season grass that grows fastest in spring and again in fall. July and August heat and humidity slow it down. The exact grass mix on each course was not verified for this page, so check with your own agronomist. The robot can run more often in spring and fall and lighter in midsummer, with the schedule set after we map the course.
