Eau Claire, MI: Robotic Mowers for Golf Course Fairways and Rough, Freeing Crews for Greens

37°FOvercast in Eau Claire right now

On an Eau Claire golf course, a lawn mowing robot can take the fairway and rough passes, cut them on a mapped route, and head back to its charger when the job is done. Fairways and rough are long, repetitive runs, and they are where a crew member on a rider spends most of a shift. Greens, tees, bunkers and trim stay with the crew, so the robot never works the areas golfers judge the course by.

What the crew gets back is time on the close work that golfers notice. Bunker raking, pin-side detail and tee and green trim need hands on the ground, and that is the work the crew can do once the rider passes are off their list. The schedule can run after play or overnight, so the crew starts the day to a finished cut instead of a mower still working the back nine.

Eau Claire has humid summers, snowy winters, and the usual cool-season turf, which grows hardest in spring and fall and stalls in midsummer heat. Play is heaviest on summer weekends, and tournaments and outings leave little daytime room to mow. A robotic mower fits around that by running early or overnight on the heavy days, holding back on soft spring turf until the ground firms, and easing off when heat has the grass stressed. When snow comes and growth stops, the mowing season ends with the grass and picks up again in spring.

The same kind of autonomous mower also fits the other large lawns around Eau Claire, including public parks, school and college campuses, corporate grounds and sports fields. Those sites usually have long open turf with a clear edge to map, which suits a mower that runs one route every time. On a park or campus, the no-go areas are whatever the crew marks, such as garden beds, playgrounds and walkways.

Who does what in Eau Claire

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

How it works in Eau Claire

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 is the usual grass in this region. It grows hardest in spring and fall, then slows in midsummer heat, so the cutting rhythm changes through the year. The robot runs a set route at the times the superintendent agrees, and it can ease off on soft spring turf or stressed grass in heat. Greens, tees, bunkers and trim stay with the crew.
