Downey, CA: Lawn mowing robots for golf course fairways and rough, with leasing and service

65°FFog in Downey right now

Lawn mowing robots give a Downey golf course a way to keep fairways and rough cut on a mapped route without anyone riding a mower. The robot covers the long, repetitive passes that pull crew members away from everything else. Greens, tees, bunkers and trim stay with the crew, so the robot only works the open turf.

What the crew gets back is time for the close work golfers actually notice. A ride on mower needs an operator for every pass, and that adds up quickly across a week of rough. Once the route is mapped and the no-mow areas are marked, the robot follows the plan and returns to its charger when the run is done. The mowing times get agreed with the superintendent, so the crew knows the schedule before the shift starts.

A Downey season runs long and mostly warm. Winters are mild, and most courses here grow warm-season grass that pushes hardest in summer and slows in the cooler months. Summer heat decides the schedule. Early starts and late finishes are the usual way to beat the afternoon sun, and a robot schedule can follow the same pattern or run overnight when the course is quiet. Winter rain is light, but a soggy fairway can be left out of the day's plan instead of driving a machine across soft ground. Event weekends can get their own calendar, so the robot stays clear of the busiest windows on the tee sheet.

The same mower suits the other big lawns around Downey. City parks, school and college campuses, and corporate grounds all carry wide turf that needs cutting on a steady schedule, and a mapped route handles that the same way it handles a fairway. Sports fields are a close match too. A robotic mower for sports fields can keep clear of goals, benches and marked lines, and cut on a timetable set around practices and games.

Who does what in Downey

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

How it works in Downey

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

Most of Downey sits on flat ground in the Los Angeles basin, so slope limits matter less here than in hillier parts of the state. Some courses still have banks, swales and drainage cuts, and those get checked on the walk before any route is set. The free site assessment covers the grade of each fairway and rough area, so the mapped route follows the real ground.
