Clovis, CA: Robotic Mowers for Golf Course Fairways and Rough, Freeing Crews From the Mower Seat

70°FClear in Clovis right now

Lawn mowing robots can cut a Clovis golf course's fairways and rough on a set route, so nobody has to sit on a mower seat for those long passes. The machine runs the same lines every time, which keeps the cut even from one pass to the next. Fairway and rough mowing is a lot of slow driving, and that driving is the part a robot handles well.

What the crew gets back is mostly time. A person who used to spend the morning on a seat can check irrigation heads, clear debris after a windy day, or get ahead on the work golfers actually notice. Fairways can be mowed overnight, so the mowing no longer fights with the first tee times. That makes the crew's days easier to plan, with fewer interruptions in the middle of the work.

Clovis summers run hot and dry, so warm-season turf on fairways and rough is under stress for much of the year, and mowing often has to happen early or late in the day. Winter brings cooler weather and, on many Valley courses, overseeding with cool-season grass for color, which changes the mowing height and the schedule for a few weeks. The robot fits around this. Its route and timing can be changed for overseeding, aerification, or a course event, and it can head back to its charger on a hot afternoon. Those windows get set around tee times, not the other way round.

This kind of mower also fits other large lawns around Clovis. City parks, school and college campuses, corporate grounds, and sports fields all have long stretches of turf that get mowed on a regular route. A robotic mower for sports fields can keep a practice field cut between uses without tying up a crew for the day.

Who does what in Clovis

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

How it works in Clovis

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.

We handle setup and service in Clovis

Service Robot Co. handles the whole job for a Clovis course: we assess the course, map the fairways and rough, set the schedule with your superintendent, offer it as a lease through financing, train your team, and service it under RoboCare™. When the mower needs a technician, it is the same partner who set it up.

Common questions

Clovis runs hot for much of the year, with July typically at about 28 days at or above 90°F and June and September each near 20, based on NOAA 1991 to 2020 normals summarized by Climate-Zone. Early morning and late evening are the usual mowing windows in that heat. A mapped robot route can run in those windows and return to its charger on the hottest afternoons.
