Niceville, FL: Robotic mowers for golf course fairways and rough, freeing crews for greens

81°FPartly cloudy in Niceville right now

Lawn mowing robots are a practical way for a Niceville golf course to keep its fairways and rough cut without a rider on every pass. The mower follows a route the crew has set and goes back to its charger when the pass is done. What comes back to the crew is the hours they used to spend driving long fairway lines, time they can put toward the greens, tees and bunkers golfers judge the course by.

For most superintendents the question is who sits on the seat and when. A ride-on needs an operator on every pass, which means a person working the fairways at dawn or after the last group. A robotic mower can run those quiet windows without a rider, and the crew handles the detail work in daylight. Rough is the easy start.

Mowing here follows a warm-season year. Many courses in the area grow bermudagrass in the fairways, which pushes hard from late spring through summer, just as afternoon storms roll in. Growth slows over winter and can stop during a cold snap, so the cutting schedule has to loosen and tighten with the weather. A robotic mower here runs early and late around tee times, and the crew clears limbs and debris after a storm before it returns to its route, since hurricane season runs June through November.

The same kind of mower suits the other big lawns around Niceville and Okaloosa County. Parks and athletic fields need a clean, even cut on a set day, and an autonomous mower for parks can keep the bulk of the turf in shape while the grounds crew handles edges and game-day touch-ups. School and college campuses and corporate grounds have wide open lawns on a regular weekly rhythm, which a mapped route handles well.

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.

Parks, campuses and sports fields

The same kind of mower suits large open turf around Niceville: city parks, school and college grounds, corporate campuses, and athletic fields.

How it works in Niceville

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.
