Pittsburg, KS: Lawn mowing robots for golf course fairways and rough, freeing crews for greens

Lawn mowing robots can cut the fairways and rough at a Pittsburg golf course without anyone riding a mower seat, leaving the crew free for the greens, tees and bunkers. The robot follows a mapped route, so the same passes go down the same lines every time it runs. That turns the long, repetitive hours of rough and fairway driving into work that runs on its own, and the crew gets to spend its day on the hole-side work golfers actually notice.

Most of the hours a crew spends on rough and fairways go to driving the same lines over and over. A robot handles that repetition without getting tired, and it can run in the quiet hours when a rider crew would be out in the middle of play. For a superintendent weighing an autonomous fairway mower, the real question is whether the crew's day has room for better work, so bring the heaviest rough areas to the site assessment.

Pittsburg sits in the transition zone, with hot, humid summers and cold winters, so the turf on a course can behave two different ways in one year. Warm-season grass such as bermudagrass grows hardest from late spring through summer, while cool-season grass pushes most in spring and fall. A mowing calendar that runs around league play, weekend events and the July heat is easier to hold when a robot repeats the same route on a set timetable. Put the heaviest passes in the weeks the grass is growing fastest, and keep the crew's hands on the greens and tees through the busiest stretches.

The same mower also suits the other big lawns around Pittsburg, including city parks, school and college campuses, corporate grounds and sports fields. Each of those sites has large open turf cut on a repeating pattern, which is the kind of work these robots suit. A parks or campus manager with a long, regular mowing schedule can run the same site assessment to see whether the route makes sense.

Who does what in Pittsburg

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

How it works in Pittsburg

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.

Common questions

Pittsburg sits in the transition zone, where courses often grow warm-season grass such as bermudagrass alongside cool-season grass. Bermudagrass grows hardest from late spring through summer, while cool-season grass pushes most in spring and fall. The heaviest passes belong in those growth peaks, and a robotic mower can repeat the same route on a set timetable through them.
