Montague, MI: Autonomous mowers for golf course fairways and rough, freeing crews from the mower seat

37°FFog in Montague right now

Lawn mowing robots can cut the fairways and rough at a Montague golf course on a mapped route, so nobody has to sit on a mower for the long passes. The robot works its route and returns to its charger when the run is finished. Cool-season turf in West Michigan grows fast in May and June, which is when crews feel the pinch most. A machine that runs without a driver keeps those passes moving while the crew handles the rest.

An autonomous fairway mower changes the week for a crew that has been driving the same passes since spring. The hours move to bunker faces, edging, irrigation checks and the detail work golfers notice first. Because the robot can run early or late, fairways get cut while the course is quiet and players are not stuck behind a mower on the way to the next tee. The crew still decides where the time goes, and the robot takes the long drives off their plate.

A Montague season starts wet and cool, and fairways can stay soft into late spring, so the route and schedule need room to move when the turf is too soft to cut. Midsummer brings heat and dry spells that stress cool-season grass, and the superintendent may raise the cutting height or hold a pass until evening. Outings and special events can take a day off the schedule, and the mower simply stays parked on those days. Fall growth slows and leaves start to fall, and the mower earns its place again before winter closes the course.

The same kind of mower fits the other large lawns around Montague, from city parks and school grounds to college campuses, corporate lawns and sports fields. Sports fields are a natural match because the crew wants fewer hours on a tractor between games and practices. Parks and campuses have long, open runs of grass that a mapped route handles well, and the mower can work through the hours when people are not crossing the paths.

Who does what in Montague

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

How it works in Montague

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.

Common questions

Michigan has no statewide rule on mowing hours. Local noise ordinances set the limits instead, and they vary by city and county. We could not confirm Montague's own rules from the city code, so check with the city before the schedule goes final. Run times are then set with the superintendent around play.
