Chicago Heights, IL: Lawn Mowing Robots for Golf Courses, Fairways and Rough, Freeing Crew Hours

Golf courses in Chicago Heights can have their fairways and rough cut by a lawn mowing robot that runs a mapped route with no one riding the seat. The machine makes its passes by itself and drives back to its charger when the job is done. What the crew gets back is time for greens, tees, bunkers and trim, the close work golfers judge a course by. The robot stays off those areas, so that detail work stays with people who know the course.

A robotic mower for golf courses earns its keep on the large, repetitive areas where a ride-on spends hours making straight passes. Most robotic units are lighter than a ride-on fairway mower, which tends to mean less pressure on the turf, and that helps on soft ground after a wet week. The crew stops spending its shift in a seat and starts spending it on the work that needs hands.

Mowing in Chicago Heights runs from spring into fall on cool-season grass such as bluegrass and ryegrass, which grow fastest in late spring and again in early fall. Midsummer heat and dry spells slow that growth and stress the turf, so heights and pass counts have to change through the year. Weekend play and outing days need the fairways in shape, so the route should run in the quiet hours and pause when golfers are out. Once the first hard freeze arrives, the mower goes into winter storage and rejoins the route when growth picks up in spring.

The same kind of mower fits the other big lawns around Chicago Heights, including park district and municipal parks, school and college campuses, corporate grounds, and sports fields that need even, regular cuts. A robotic mower for sports fields keeps a steady route and steady heights week after week, which suits fields that get mowed on a tight calendar. Office parks and campus lawns with long, open runs of grass are good candidates too.

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 Chicago 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.
