Gig Harbor, WA: Lawn Mowing Robots for Golf Course Fairways and Rough, Freeing Crews for Greens

Lawn mowing robots can cut the fairways and rough at a Gig Harbor golf course without anyone sitting on a mower seat. The machine runs its passes on a set route and heads back to its charger when the work is done. That leaves your crew free for the greens, tees, bunkers and trim, which are the spots players notice first.

For a superintendent here, the hard part is often getting someone on a mower at the hours fairways need cutting. A robot can run early in the morning or after dark, so the grass is short before the first group tees off. The crew then spends its time on hand work that golfers see, and the schedule works around the people you actually have.

Gig Harbor has a mild, wet Puget Sound climate, and grass grows fastest in the cool, damp spring and again in fall. Most courses in the area run cool-season turf, which slows during the dry stretches of summer, so the mowing schedule has to follow the growth rate and not just the calendar. Summer play is heavy, and event days are when nobody wants a machine on the fairway, so the robot holds back then and runs hardest in the shoulder months. On soggy winter days, the route can skip the saturated low spots so the ground stays intact.

The same robotic mower suits the other large lawns around Gig Harbor. City and county parks, school and college campuses, corporate grounds and sports fields all have wide open turf on a predictable route. Sports fields are a good fit because the machine can cut between practices and games on a set schedule, and the same staff member who checks on it can handle the rest of the grounds.

Who does what in Gig Harbor

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

How it works in Gig Harbor

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.
