Peru, IN: Robotic Mowers for Golf Course Fairways and Rough Free Up Crew Time for Greens

Robotic mowers can cut the fairways and rough at a Peru golf course on a mapped route, with no one riding the seat. The route is built from a walk of the course, and the areas the superintendent wants left alone are marked off so the mower stays out of them. Fairway and rough passes take up a big share of a grounds crew's day, and that is the work the machine takes over.

What comes back to the crew is time spent on the work golfers notice. People who were stuck on a seat for the fairway and rough passes can spend that time on the greens, tees, bunkers and trim, the details that show up in how a course plays and looks. For a course dealing with a grounds labor shortage, that trade matters more than how fast the mower runs.

Through a Peru season the mowing calendar changes a lot. Many courses in north central Indiana grow cool-season grass, so growth surges in spring and again in fall, while July and August are when fairways are most stressed and mowing is best kept light. A wet spring can push a schedule back for days at a time, and that is easier to handle when the robot can run the rough in early morning or after dark, when the course is quiet. On event weekends the schedule can keep the mower off the course until the field clears, so the robot fits around the calendar rather than the other way round.

The same mower fits other big lawns around Peru. City parks, school and college campuses, corporate grounds and sports fields all carry long runs of turf that get mowed over and over, and a mapped route handles that ground the same way it handles a fairway. Each site gets its own route and schedule, so a campus crew can mow around classes and a sports field crew can mow around practices and games.

Who does what in Peru

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

How it works in Peru

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.

We handle setup and service in Peru

Service Robot Co. handles the whole job for a Peru course: we assess the course, map the fairways and rough, set the schedule with your superintendent, offer it as a lease through financing, train your team, and service it under RoboCare™. When the mower needs a technician, it is the same partner who set it up.

Common questions

Peru gets around 40 inches of precipitation a year in a humid continental climate with hot summers, so wet spells are a normal part of the season. Cutting saturated turf tears it up, so the crew decides on the day whether a fairway is firm enough to cut. The schedule can leave a soaked fairway for another day, and the superintendent makes that call.
