Half Moon Bay, CA: Autonomous Mowers for Golf Course Fairways and Rough, Freeing Crews for Greens

56°FOvercast in Half Moon Bay right now

Lawn mowing robots can cut the fairways and rough at a Half Moon Bay golf course without a person riding the mower. An autonomous fairway mower follows a mapped route, runs on a schedule agreed with the superintendent, and drives itself back to its charger when the pass is done. The crew gets back the hours it used to spend in a seat on straight, repetitive passes, and those hours can go to the greens, tees and bunkers that golfers judge the course by.

Finding people willing to spend long days on a mower seat is hard almost anywhere, and the robot does that job without needing a rider. Because no one has to be on board, it can run early in the morning or late in the evening, when the course is quiet. Steep banks and uneven rough are the areas worth checking before the first run, since they vary the most from one hole to the next.

Many courses on this coast grow cool-season grass, which pushes hardest in spring and into fall, so the mowing load peaks then. Morning fog and dew keep the grass wet for hours, and that is a poor time to cut, so the early windows get set with the superintendent around the weather. When a tournament or member event lands on the calendar, the mowing times move around it and the robot sits in its charger on those days. Long wet spells in winter can keep the crew off the turf too, and the schedule can hold the robot back the same way.

The same mower fits the other big lawns around Half Moon Bay. City parks, school and college campuses, corporate grounds and sports fields all have large, mostly open turf that suits a mapped route. A robotic mower for sports fields can run between games or practices, and the crew still handles edges, trim and the areas right around goals and lines.

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 Half Moon Bay: city parks, school and college grounds, corporate campuses, and athletic fields.

How it works in Half Moon Bay

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.
