Frankfort, IN: Lawn mowing robots for golf course fairways and rough, freeing crew hours for greens

Lawn mowing robots can cut the fairways and rough at a Frankfort golf course on a mapped route, with nobody sitting on a mower seat. The route is walked and drawn before the first pass, and the areas it must stay out of are marked, so it knows where the fairways end and the greens begin. It runs on a schedule the superintendent agrees around play, then drives itself back to its charger when the job is done. What the crew gets back is the time that used to go into driving the same fairway passes over and over.

The crew's hours go to greens, tees, bunkers and trim, which is where golfers notice the work. Taking a person off a riding mower also means fewer people moving through the middle of the fairways while play is on. Because it runs on a battery, it is quieter than a gas ride-on near a clubhouse patio or an early tee time. Financing comes as one fixed lease payment in a quote after a free site assessment, so you can weigh one number against what the crew costs you now.

A Frankfort season runs from spring green-up into October. Most courses here grow cool-season grass, which is the usual choice this far north in Indiana, and it pushes hardest in spring and again in early fall. Summer heat slows it down, and heavy rain can leave fairways too soft to mow cleanly, so the robotic mower schedule needs room to move. The robot can be set to skip wet days or paused ahead of weekend play and outings, while the crew keeps its full attention on the greens and tees. Golf course mowing in this area follows that rhythm, and the robot fits inside it.

The same robotic mower fits the other big lawns around Frankfort, including city and county parks, school and college campuses, corporate grounds and sports fields. Those sites have their own no-go areas, such as playground edges, ball diamonds and parking islands, and they get marked on the map the same way a bunker does. A grounds manager with a large open lawn usually wants what a superintendent wants: mowing that happens when nobody is using the turf, and a crew free for the work people actually see.

Who does what in Frankfort

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

How it works in Frankfort

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.
