Hoffman Estates, IL: Golf Course Lawn Mowing Robots for Fairways and Rough, Freeing Crew Hours

40°FClear in Hoffman Estates right now

A Hoffman Estates golf course that runs lawn mowing robots gets its fairways and rough cut on a set route, with no one riding a mower seat for those passes. The robot follows a map of each hole and stays inside the areas we mark out, so greens, tees, bunkers and trim stay with the crew. Those long, repetitive passes are the part a machine handles well. The crew's time goes back to bunkers, tee boxes and the edges golfers notice first.

A robot can mow fairways at night after the last group comes in, so the course is ready before the first tee time. Early and late runs also keep the mower out of the way of golfers and carts. Fewer people sitting on mowers through July heat is a real change for the crew. Hiring mower operators is hard, and the robot needs no seat.

Golf course mowing in Hoffman Estates usually runs from spring into late autumn, and winter cold and snow close it down. Cool-season grasses are the usual choice in northern Illinois, and they push hardest in spring and again in early fall. Summer heat and dry spells slow growth, and busy summer play squeezes mowing into early and late hours. The schedule can run heavier in spring, lighter in summer heat, and skip any outing day.

The same mower fits other large lawns around Hoffman Estates too. Public parks, school and college campuses, corporate grounds and office parks all have long stretches of turf that a crew mows on repeat. Athletic fields suit the same approach, with the mapped route kept clear of goals, benches and play areas. Each site gets its own map and its own mowing times, set with whoever runs the grounds.

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 Hoffman Estates

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.
