Franklin, TN: Lawn Mowing Robots for Golf Course Fairways and Rough, Cut Before Tee Times

60°FClear in Franklin right now

Lawn mowing robots can cut the fairways and rough at Franklin golf courses without someone riding a mower to do it. The robot follows a route built around the course, so it works through the fairways and rough on a schedule set with the superintendent instead of whenever a driver can be spared. The payoff for the crew is time: the long, repetitive passes that eat up a morning now run on their own, and the staff can spend that morning on work golfers notice.

Mowing fairways at night, or before the first tee time, is where a robot earns its place on a Franklin course. Summer heat here makes midday mowing hard on the crew, and the cooler hours are when the turf is calmer and the course is empty. The mower works those hours without a person on it, then returns to its charger when the route is done. For the superintendent, that means fairways and rough cut on a steady rhythm instead of days when the crew has to fit mowing around tee times.

A Franklin mowing year moves in a few clear stages. Warm-season grass, which is common on courses around Franklin, greens up fast in spring and can need cutting every few days when the rain comes. Then the summer heat slows growth and makes midday work hard on both crew and turf. Afternoon thunderstorms are a regular part of the summer, so a schedule that finishes before the afternoon build-up keeps the robotic mower off wet ground and out of the weather. The robotic mower fits around that cycle: it can run more in the spring flush, back off through the heat, and sit out the weeks when a tournament or a big weekend needs the course quiet and clean.

The same kind of mower suits the other large turf around Franklin. City and county parks, school and college campuses, office parks, and sports fields all have long stretches of open grass that take a crew hours to cut. On a ball field, the mowing has to fit between practices and games, and that gap is where a robot can help.

Your crew

Greens, tees, bunkers and trim

These stay with your crew. The hours they spent mowing fairways go to this work instead.

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.
