New Era, MI: Lawn Mowing Robots for Golf Course Fairways and Rough, Freeing Crew Hours

Lawn mowing robots can cut the fairways and rough at a New Era golf course on a set route, while the crew works on other jobs. A robotic mower takes over the long, repetitive passes that otherwise keep an operator on a seat for most of a day. That time goes back to the crew for the work golfers notice first.

Most of the cutting runs on a schedule set around play, often early in the morning or after the last group is off the course. Nobody has to sit on a seat for those hours, so an operator can be moved to detail work that needs a person. The mower returns to its charger when it finishes, and the crew checks the cut on their rounds. For a course that is short on hands, that means fairways get cut on time instead of slipping a day.

Most courses around New Era grow cool-season grass, which pushes hardest in the cooler weeks of spring and fall and slows in the heat of midsummer. That means the heaviest cutting lands at the edges of the season, while July and August call for a lighter touch. Busy weekends mean the robot works early, late, or overnight, away from groups on the course. Wet spring turf is the other swing factor, and a schedule that can pause on soft days keeps the fairways from getting torn up.

The same kind of mower fits the other big lawns near New Era, including parks, school and college campuses, corporate grounds, and sports fields. Athletic fields and open park lawns suit it well because the work is long, repeated passes on a set route. Campuses and office grounds often run best when mowing happens outside class or office hours, and a scheduled mower can handle that without a person on the seat.

Who does what in New Era

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

How it works in New Era

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.
