Howell, MI: Robotic Mowers for Golf Course Fairways and Rough, Freeing Crews for Greens Work

41°FClear in Howell right now

A lawn mowing robot in Howell can take over the fairway and rough passes on a golf course, which is where a lot of seat time goes on a big layout. The crew keeps the greens, tees, bunkers and trim work. The robot follows a route we map with the superintendent, so the fairways get cut on the same lines every time.

What the crew gets back is time on the work golfers notice. Someone who used to spend long shifts in a ride-on seat can move to bunker raking, edging around the greens and tee repair. The mower heads back to its charger when the run is done, so nobody has to chase it across the property. Mowing times are set around play, which often means early or late in the day.

Most courses around Howell grow cool-season grass, and bentgrass and bluegrass push hardest in spring and again in early fall. Summer heat and dry spells slow growth, and that is when the crew raises cutting heights and waters more. Through the busy stretches the robot runs on the schedule the superintendent sets, which usually means working around tee times and member outings rather than against them. In a wet spring the crew can pause the route when the turf is too soft for a machine to run cleanly.

The same kind of machine suits the other large grass around town. Municipal parks, school and college campuses, corporate grounds and sports fields all have wide open turf that needs regular cutting. An autonomous mower for parks works on the same mapped-route idea, with no-go areas marked around playgrounds, paths and garden beds. Staff who already run the grounds keep their hands on the parts that need a person.

Who does what in Howell

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

How it works in Howell

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
