Crete, IL: Lawn Mowing Robots Cover Golf Fairways and Rough So Your Crew Works the Greens

57°FOvercast in Crete right now

A lawn mowing robot in Crete, Illinois, cuts a golf course's fairways and rough on a mapped route, so nobody has to sit on a mower seat for those passes. It runs the schedule the superintendent sets, mows on its own, and drives back to the charger when the job is done. Greens, tees, bunkers and trim work stay with your crew.

The real gain is hours. Fairway and rough passes eat a big share of a crew's week, and they are the first thing to slip when someone calls in or a seasonal hire never shows up. A robotic mower for golf course superintendents covers that steady work, and the people you do have can spend their time on cup changes, bunker edges, tee surfaces and the details golfers actually notice. One staff member learns to keep an eye on the robot, and that is the extent of the supervision it needs.

A Crete season runs from the first green-up in spring to the last growth in fall, and cool-season turf can jump fast after a wet May. Rain pushes mowing back, then everything needs cutting at once. A robot that sticks to its schedule can work early, late, or on days when the crew is stretched thin, and you can set it to stay clear of morning tee times, leagues and outings. Rough is where it earns its place, since it comes around often and holds a more even cut than a crew squeezing it in between other jobs. Steep banks and wet low spots get walked during the site assessment, and you decide what the robot takes and what stays with a person. Balmoral Woods Country Club, Lincoln Oaks Golf Course and Lincolnshire Country Club are part of the local golf scene that sets the tone for turf around here.

Golf is not the only place with a lot of grass to cut around Crete. Village parks, school and college campuses, corporate grounds and athletic fields all have wide open lawns and the same trouble finding mowing hours. The same autonomous mower fits those properties, and it can be scheduled around practices, games, classes and park hours. Leasing through financing with one fixed payment, quoted after a free site assessment, keeps the cost of getting started clear for a district or a property manager.

Who does what in Crete

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

How it works in Crete

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

Cool-season turf here can jump after a wet spell, and a crew gets stretched trying to catch up. A robot that mows on its schedule keeps visiting the rough, so growth is cut back before it gets away from you. Soggy low spots get walked at the site assessment, and you decide whether the robot takes them or a person does.
