Novato, CA: Lawn Mowing Robots for Golf Course Fairways and Rough, Freeing Crews for Greens

64°FClear in Novato right now

Robotic fairway mowing in Novato means a lawn mowing robot that cuts a golf course's fairways and rough on a mapped route, with no one sitting on a mower seat. Coastal fog and mild temperatures keep grass growing for most of the year, so the mowing never really stops. The robot follows the route we map with you, stays out of the areas you mark off, and returns to its charger when it finishes.

What the crew gets back is time. Driving long fairway and rough passes eats hours, and finding people willing to spend those hours on a mower seat is hard for many courses right now. With the robot on those repetitive passes, your crew can spend the day on greens, tees, bunkers and trim, which is the work golfers notice first. The robot takes the passes, and the crew keeps the work that needs a person's eye.

Through a Novato year the schedule moves with the weather. Winter rain slows growth, then spring brings a flush that can outrun a weekly cut, so mowing frequency goes up just as the course gets busy. Summer fog keeps mornings damp and cool, and dry heat later in the season slows the grass again. Set the robot's times around the first tee, or run it after the last group so it can mow fairways at night while play is light. Because the route and times are fixed in advance, the robot fits around tournaments and weekend events without pulling crew off other work.

The same kind of mower suits other large lawns around Novato. Parks, school and college campuses, corporate grounds and sports fields all have wide turf that gets cut on a repeating schedule, and a mapped route handles that well. A sports field can be mowed before a weekend game on a timed route, and a campus can keep its lawns cut while classes are out. Any property with a clear layout and fixed mowing days is a good candidate for an autonomous mower.

How it works in Novato

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.
