Pekin, IL: Lawn mowing robots for golf course fairways and rough, freeing crew hours for greens
Autonomous mowers, the lawn mowing robots that follow a mapped route without a driver, can take over fairway and rough passes at a Pekin golf course. The crew keeps the greens, tees and bunkers, which is where golfers look first. Most of the seat time that goes into long, repetitive passes moves to work the crew can actually see on the course.
Fairways and rough can be mowed at night, when the course is empty and the grass is cool, which keeps daytime free for play. Nobody has to build a crew shift around a long run of fairway passes. What the crew gets back is time for the detail work that needs a person's eye, like spotting wear, filling divots and keeping the edges sharp.

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.
Central Illinois turf has a demanding year. Cool-season grass on many courses pushes hard in spring and fall, then struggles through the hot, humid stretch of July and August. Rain can close a course for a day and leave the rough long and wet. Mowing gets planned around league play, weekend events and those rain days, and the robot can shift its window to fit each one.
The same mower suits other large lawns around Pekin. City parks, school and college campuses, corporate grounds and sports fields all have big areas that need cutting on a fixed schedule. Athletic fields in particular need mowing between practices and games, which is a good fit for a robotic mower that runs when the field is empty.
Who does what in Pekin
What the robot mows and what your crew does
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.
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 Pekin: city parks, school and college grounds, corporate campuses, and athletic fields.

From site assessment to mowing in six steps
- 1We 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.
- 2We 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.
- 3We set the schedule
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.
- 5We train your team
One staff member learns to keep an eye on it and call us when something looks off. Servicing stays with us.
- 6We keep it running
