Goshen, IN: Lawn Mowing Robots for Golf Course Fairways and Rough, Shifting Crew Hours to Greens

39°FPartly cloudy in Goshen right now

Lawn mowing robots in Goshen can keep golf course fairways and rough cut on a fixed route, and they do it without a person on a riding mower for most of the week. The machine runs the same passes every time, so the cut stays even from one day to the next. Grass gets trimmed lightly and often instead of hit hard once a week, which is generally easier on the turf and leaves short clippings that break down fast. What the crew gets back is the time that used to go into driving fairway passes, and that time can go to greens, tees, bunkers and the trim work that golfers actually notice.

Most of the mowing moves to the hours when the course is quiet, so fairways can be finished before the first group tees off and the crew is not dodging carts. A person who used to spend the morning on a seat can now be on the greens or in the bunkers, where the hand work is what golfers see. The mower does not get tired in July heat, and it does not need a break to cover the same stretch of rough again. Someone on staff still looks in on it each day, and that person keeps the schedule honest.

Golf course mowing in Goshen follows the weather more than the calendar, because northern Indiana winters are cold, spring brings a fast flush of growth, and summers run hot and humid. Many courses here run cool-season grass on the fairways, and that turf tends to struggle in midsummer heat, so the schedule has to ease off when the grass is stressed. The mower can run in the cooler early morning or late evening, and the schedule can shift around weekend play or an outing without asking the crew to change their whole day. By late fall the mowing season winds down with leaf drop, and the mower sits charged through the winter until the grass wakes up.

The same mower works on the other large lawns around Goshen. City parks, school and college campuses, office and corporate grounds, and sports fields all have long open runs of grass that a robotic mower handles well on a mapped route. Ball fields and practice areas suit an autonomous mower because the edges and lines stay consistent from one cut to the next.

Who does what in Goshen

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

How it works in Goshen

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

Yes, a robotic mower can cut fairways and rough on a mapped route. Before the first run, we walk the course, map the fairways and rough, mark the areas the mower stays out of, and agree mowing times with the superintendent. Greens, tees, bunkers and trim stay with the crew, and service runs under RoboCare with check visits through the year.
