Farmington Hills, MI: Lawn Mowing Robots for Golf Course Fairways and Rough, Leased Through Financing

A lawn mowing robot can cut a Farmington Hills golf course's fairways and rough on a mapped route, so a crew member doesn't have to sit on a mower for every pass. The long, repetitive laps are what tie up a grounds crew through most of a morning, and the robot takes them over. When it finishes, it heads back to its charger without anyone bringing it in by hand. What the crew gets back is time for the work golfers actually notice.

Timing is where it earns its place. The mower can run overnight or in the early hours, so fairways are cut before the first group and rough gets mowed while the course is quiet. Rough is the easiest fit because it is wide, uniform and hard on a driver's back by late afternoon. Fairway passes follow the same schedule, and the route can be set to stay clear of the areas where the crew is working that day.

Courses in this part of Michigan usually grow cool-season grasses, so the mowing load bunches up in the spring flush and again through summer, when heat and dry spells push the crew toward cooler hours. Wet springs leave turf soft, and running a mower over saturated ground causes compaction, so the schedule needs to be able to hold off on soft days. Leagues, outings and busy weekends squeeze the mowing window further, which is why a route that can be planned around tee times suits the area. Come fall, the robot can take on more of the work as leaves arrive and growth slows, with the route adjusted as the grass tapers off.

The same mower fits the other large lawns around Farmington Hills too. Municipal parks, school and college athletic fields, and corporate campuses all have big areas of turf that a crew mows the same way week after week. A robotic mower can handle the open turf on a set route and leave the edges, goal areas and game-day touch-ups to staff. Any of these sites starts with a walk-through and a mapped boundary, the same way a course does.

Who does what in Farmington Hills

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

How it works in Farmington Hills

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.
