Red Wing, MN: Robotic Mowers for Golf Course Fairways and Rough, Freeing Crews for Greens

59°FOvercast in Red Wing right now

A golf course in Red Wing that runs lawn mowing robots gets its fairways and rough cut on a fixed route, with no one riding a mower seat. The robot works in the hours you pick, including overnight, and drives itself back to its charger when the pass is done. That leaves the crew free for the greens, tees and bunkers, the work golfers judge the course by. The robot takes the long, repetitive passes that used to eat up a day.

Early season is when a small crew feels the load most, just as fairways start growing fastest. A robotic mower keeps the fairways on schedule through those weeks without pulling someone off the bunkers. Rough along the edges and out-of-play areas gets the same steady cut, so it no longer slips when the fairways take priority. The superintendent still sets the times and decides which areas stay out of bounds.

Red Wing's season runs roughly from late April into October, and the grass is mostly cool-season bluegrass and fescue. It grows fastest in late spring and early fall, then slows through July heat and dry spells, so the schedule may need to shift with the weather. Play peaks on weekends and in summer, so the robot can mow fairways at night or early in the morning. It can hold off when the ground is soft after heavy spring rain, and growth stops in the cold months, which ends the mowing season until spring.

The same kind of mower suits the other big grass around town, including city and county parks, school and college campuses, office and plant grounds, and athletic fields that get cut on a regular schedule. Sports fields in particular benefit from a steady, predictable cut, and a robotic mower can hold the same lines week after week. As on the golf course, the route and schedule are set around how each property is actually used.

Who does what in Red Wing

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

How it works in Red Wing

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

We could not confirm Red Wing's current mowing-hours or noise rules while preparing this answer, so check the city code or call City Hall before you plan overnight runs. Once you have the hours, we set the mowing times with you so every pass falls inside them. The free site assessment also checks the route against nearby homes and property lines.
