Franklin, IN: Lawn Mowing Robots for Golf Course Fairways and Rough, Freeing Crew Hours for Greens

55°FOvercast in Franklin right now

A lawn mowing robot in Franklin, Indiana takes the fairway and rough passes off your crew's list, so nobody has to sit on a mower seat for hours at a time. It cuts a route we map on your course, runs on a schedule built around tee times, and drives itself back to the charger when it finishes. For a superintendent short on hands, that is the point of robotic mowing for golf courses.

What the crew gets back is the day. Those hours go to greens, tees, bunkers and trim work, the parts of the course golfers notice first and judge you by. The robot stays on fairways and rough only, and we mark the areas it stays out of. One staff member learns to keep an eye on it, and that is the whole new job.

A Franklin season is a long one. Central Indiana gets a hot, humid summer, a wet spring and a cool, slow fall, and the grass grows hard from April through the first frosts. Rough can jump ahead of you after a week of rain. A robotic mower that runs early, late or overnight, when no one is playing through, keeps cutting on a steady rhythm instead of in catch-up bursts. Before a member-guest or an outing, you can shift the schedule so the fairways are done and out of the way, and your people are free for the detail work.

Golf is not the only big lawn around Franklin. Parks, school and college campuses, corporate grounds and sports fields all have wide open turf that eats up mowing hours, and the same autonomous mower fits them. Athletic fields and municipal parks get the same mapped route, a set schedule and a keep-out list for playgrounds, beds and fixtures. If you run grounds for one of those, the site assessment is free, and we can look at it the same way.

Who does what in Franklin

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

How it works in Franklin

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

Franklin sits in the Indianapolis-Carmel-Greenwood metro, so a golf course or park there competes with landscaping firms and other employers for the same seasonal workers. A robotic mower does not replace the crew. It takes over the fairway and rough passes so the people you do have can work on greens, tees, bunkers and trim. One staff member learns to watch the robot, and we train them.
