Burbank, CA: Lawn mowing robots for golf course fairways and rough, so crews focus on greens

59°FClear in Burbank right now

Lawn mowing robots can take over the fairway and rough passes on a Burbank golf course, running a mapped route with nobody sitting on a mower seat. Much of the crew's fairway time goes to long, repetitive passes across wide turf, and that is the work the machine handles. The crew keeps the greens, tees, bunkers and trim, which is where golfers notice the difference. The robot can also run in the quiet hours before the first tee, so the fairways are cut before play starts.

Because the robot follows the same route each time, fairways and rough get cut at a steady height and in a consistent pattern, which helps the turf look even from week to week. Marked no-go areas stay out of the route, so edges near water, cart paths and clubhouse lawns are protected. Electric running is also generally quieter than a gas ride-on, which matters on early mornings when the neighbors are still asleep.

Courses in the Los Angeles area commonly grow warm-season grass that grows hardest from late spring into fall, so mowing demand peaks in the hottest months. Growth comes in flushes after warm spells and rain, and the robot's schedule can be adjusted so extra passes land in those windows. Winter brings slower growth and more rain, and wet turf is hard on any mower, so the route can be paused on soggy days and resumed once the ground firms up. Busy play weeks and any event that brings extra foot or cart traffic can be marked on the calendar as blocked times, with the crew choosing the dates.

The same kind of autonomous mower fits other large lawns around Burbank. City parks, school and college campuses, corporate grounds and athletic fields all have wide turf that gets mowed on a regular cycle, and they can use the same mapped routes and off-hours scheduling. Sports fields work the same way as courses, with the playing surface marked out of the route and game days blocked on the calendar.

Who does what in Burbank

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

How it works in Burbank

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.
