Johnsburg, IL: Lawn Mowing Robots for Golf Course Fairways and Rough, Freeing Crews for Greens

39°FClear in Johnsburg right now

On a Johnsburg golf course, a lawn mowing robot cuts the fairways and rough along a fixed route, so nobody has to sit on a rider for the long passes. It runs the same lines every time, which keeps the cut even from one day to the next and makes the fairway edges easier to read. The hours that used to go to driving those passes move to the close work golfers judge a course by.

Rough tends to fall behind first, since it grows fast after a wet spring and crews end up pulled off the greens to catch up. A robot can run the rough on a timetable set around play, including after the last group clears, so nobody is cutting around golfers. That gives the crew room to recover from a bad week without losing a morning on the greens.

Golf course mowing in Johnsburg follows a cool-season calendar, so most courses in this part of Illinois run grasses like bluegrass, ryegrass and fescue, and those push hardest in spring and early fall. Summer heat and dry spells slow them and stress the turf, which is when a superintendent often wants a lighter cut and fewer passes. Winter closes the season for a good part of the year, so the robot's work runs from spring green-up into late fall. Schedules can shift around dew, heat and busy weekends, and the mapped routes stay the same.

The same kind of autonomous mower fits other large lawns around Johnsburg, including public parks, school and college campuses, corporate grounds and sports fields. Many of these sites want the same cut on the same days each week, which suits a mapped route. A robot can take the long open passes while the crew handles edges, fixtures and the spots that need hands on them.

Who does what in Johnsburg

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

How it works in Johnsburg

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.
