Hobart, IN: Lawn mowing robots for golf course fairways and rough frees crew hours for greens

Lawn mowing robots can cut a Hobart golf course's fairways and rough on a mapped route, so the crew does not have to spend the long fairway passes on a riding mower. The robot runs on a schedule set around play and drives itself back to its charger when the route is done. The gain for a superintendent is crew time: the hours that used to go to the seat can go to the greens, tees, bunkers and trim that golfers judge the course by.

Fairway passes are long, repetitive and hard on the person driving, and that is where a robotic mower takes the most load. It runs the same mapped route day after day without losing its line or getting tired at the end of a shift. Rough is the other place it helps, because rough cutting tends to slip when the crew is short-handed and the rest of the week is full.

Beautiful summer day at a golf course with a peaceful pond and lush greenery

Hobart sits in northwest Indiana, where the growing season runs roughly from spring into fall, and the cool-season grasses common there do most of their growing in spring and autumn. Summer heat and dry spells slow the turf, so the mowing load moves with the weather instead of staying flat. Busy weekends and event days are when the schedule matters most, since the robot can be set to stay off the course while golfers are on it and to shift on wet days. Those are the days the crew can put its hands on the detail work instead.

The same mower suits other large lawns around Hobart. Parks, school and college campuses, corporate grounds and sports fields all have the open, mapped areas that suit an autonomous mower. Many of them also keep a fairly fixed mowing rhythm, which fits a schedule better than a crew working around daily use.

Who does what in Hobart

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

How it works in Hobart

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.
