Palos Heights, IL: Golf course lawn mowing robots for fairways and rough, freeing crew hours
Lawn mowing robots give a Palos Heights golf course its fairways and rough cut on a mapped route, with no one riding the mower. The crew keeps the greens, tees, bunkers and trim, which are the areas golfers judge the course by. What comes back is the time a seat mower used to eat, since a person no longer drives the same fairway lines hour after hour. Those hours can go to edges, bunker faces and the detail work that shows.
A robotic mower for golf courses is most useful on the long, repeated passes where a seat mower drifts and cut lines wander. Once the route is set, each pass runs at the same height on the same line, and the robot returns to its charger when it finishes. Trouble filling mower seats is a real problem in this region, and a robot does not need a driver for every shift. Crew hours that used to go to rough passes can go to the work golfers actually see.

Course names come from OpenStreetMap contributors and are listed for local reference only. A course appearing here does not mean it works with Service Robot Co. or uses a robot mower.
Palos Heights sits in the Chicago south suburbs, so most fairways are cool-season turf, mainly bluegrass and ryegrass blends. Spring growth comes on fast, and wet ground is when a lighter machine helps most, since the robot can be scheduled for drier hours. Weekend outings and league play set the morning windows, and the mower stays off the course while those groups are out. Midsummer heat and dry spells mean the crew raises the cutting height, and the robot follows that setting without stressing grass that is already tired. Fall brings leaves, and the robot will not clear them, so the crew blows litter off the fairways before the route runs. Once the season winds down, the mower is cleaned, charged and stored until spring.
The same kind of mower fits other large lawns across the area, including municipal parks, school and college campuses, corporate office grounds and sports fields. Athletic fields need painted lines and goal areas kept out of the route, so mapping takes more care there. A park with long, open turf and a set mowing calendar tends to be simpler to map, which makes it a good first job for an autonomous mower for parks.

Mowing times are agreed with your superintendent around tee times, and changed for tournaments and member events.
- 4We quote the lease
You lease the mower through financing. The payment comes in a quote after the assessment.
