Marshall, MI: Robotic mowers for golf course fairways and rough, freeing crew hours for greens

Lawn mowing robots working Marshall golf courses cut the fairways and rough on a set route, so no one has to ride a mower through every pass. The robot stays inside the boundaries we map with you, so greens, tees and bunkers never come into its path. The crew gets back the time that used to go into driving fairway and rough passes. That time goes to the greens, tees, bunkers and trim work that golfers notice most.

Rough is where the fit is most obvious: long, repetitive passes at a steady height, the kind of work that wears down a person on a seat over a full day. A robotic mower doesn't need a driver for each pass, and it can run in the early morning or overnight when the course is quiet. A robotic mower versus a ride-on mower comes down to this: the machine handles the repetitive passes, and the crew handles everything that needs judgment.

Marshall sits in south central Michigan, so the mowing season runs from spring green-up into fall and stops when the ground freezes. Most courses in the area grow cool-season grass such as bentgrass, bluegrass or ryegrass, which pushes hard in late spring and early fall and slows during the hot, dry stretch in July and August. An autonomous fairway mower has to follow that curve, running more often in May and September and easing off in the heat of midsummer. Wet spring weather is the other constraint, and the robot can be held back for a day when the ground is soft so it doesn't leave ruts. A tournament or big outing gets its own clear window, and the schedule is set around it.

Outside golf, the same kind of mower fits any large, open turf that gets cut on a regular pattern. That covers city parks, school and college campuses, corporate grounds and sports fields, where the mower handles the broad open areas and the crew handles the edges, lines and details. If you look after a park or campus near Marshall, an autonomous mower for parks works on the same principle.

Who does what in Marshall

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

How it works in Marshall

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.
