Lake Forest, IL: Robotic Mowers for Golf Course Fairways and Rough, Freeing Crew Hours
A lawn mowing robot in Lake Forest gives a golf course its fairways and rough cut on a mapped route, with no rider on the seat. The robot runs the same passes every time inside boundaries we set during the site walk, then returns to its charger on its own when the pass is done.
The hours a crew used to spend driving fairway and rough passes go back into work golfers actually notice, such as bunker work, edging and detail around the greens. Many courses have trouble filling seasonal mowing jobs, and a robotic mower for golf courses means fewer people tied to a seat for the longest passes. Mowing can also start early or run later in the evening, so the crew does not have to cover those shifts by hand.

Course names come from OpenStreetMap contributors and are listed for local reference only. A course appearing here does not mean it works with Service Robot Co. or uses a robot mower.
Lake Forest sits in a cool-season grass zone, so fairways and rough here are typically bluegrass, fescue or ryegrass blends that push hardest in spring and early fall. Growth slows through summer heat and dry spells, so the mowing schedule lightens then instead of stopping. Over winter the robot stays charged and idle while the course is dormant, and it goes back out once the thaw gets the grass moving. On heavy play days or event weekends, the schedule keeps the mower in the early and late windows so it stays off the course when golfers are out.
The same mower fits other large lawns around Lake Forest, including park open space, school and college campuses, corporate grounds and sports fields that need regular cutting without a crew on mowers all day. An autonomous mower for parks or a robotic mower for sports fields follows the same mapped route approach, with boundaries set around paths, play areas and goals. The setup and scheduling work is the same, so a campus or park crew can plan around classes or game days the way a course plans around tee times.
Who does what in Lake Forest
What the robot mows and what your crew does
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.
Greens, tees, bunkers and trim
These stay with your crew. The hours they spent mowing fairways go to this work instead.
Parks, campuses and sports fields
The same kind of mower suits large open turf around Lake Forest: city parks, school and college grounds, corporate campuses, and athletic fields.

From site assessment to mowing in six steps
- 1We 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.
- 2We 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.
- 3We set the schedule
Mowing times are agreed with your superintendent around tee times, and changed for tournaments and member events.
- 4We quote the lease
You lease the mower through financing. The payment comes in a quote after the assessment.
- 5We train your team
One staff member learns to keep an eye on it and call us when something looks off. Servicing stays with us.
- 6We 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.
