Rochester Hills, MI: Lawn Mowing Robots for Golf Course Fairways and Rough, Setup and Service

A lawn mowing robot cuts the fairways and rough at a Rochester Hills golf course with nobody riding the mower. It follows a mapped route and heads back to its charger on its own when the pass is finished. The crew gets the morning back for the work golfers actually notice, like greens, tees, bunkers and trim, which stay with them. Much of a mowing day is long straight passes over open turf, and those passes are the ones the robot takes.

Most of the effort goes into setup. Before the first pass, the fairways and rough are mapped and the areas the robot should avoid, such as water hazards and soft low spots, are marked. Mowing times get agreed with the superintendent, so the robot runs around play instead of through it. For a superintendent comparing a ride-on mower with a robot, the real change is that one trained staff member watches the route rather than a driver sitting on a seat for every pass.

Rochester Hills courses mostly grow cool-season grass, so growth peaks in spring and again in early fall and slows during the heat of midsummer. The mowing load rises and falls through the year, and the schedule has to follow it. Winter closes the season with snow and frozen ground, and soggy spring turf is hard on any mower, so the crew can hold the robot back on wet days. Outings and league play bring their own busy windows, and the robot's schedule can steer around them.

The same mower suits other large lawns around Rochester Hills. School and college campuses, corporate grounds and municipal parks all have long stretches of turf mowed on a set routine. A robotic mower for sports fields can also work between practices and games, which is handy where the grass is cut often and nobody wants to block the field for it.

Who does what in Rochester Hills

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

How it works in Rochester Hills

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.
