Saugatuck, MI: Lawn mowing robots for golf course fairways and rough so crews stay on greens

A lawn mowing robot can take over fairway and rough mowing at a Saugatuck golf course, so the crew can stay on greens, tees and bunkers. We walk the course with the superintendent, map the fairways and rough, and mark the areas the machine stays out of. The robot then cuts on that route without anyone riding a seat. The driving passes that eat up a crew's day become the machine's job.

The payoff shows up in the staff's day. Mowing can run early, late or overnight, around the tee sheet, and the mower returns to its charger when the route finishes. Crew members who spent long stretches on a ride-on can move to bunker work, pin tasks or irrigation checks. Someone on staff still keeps an eye on the machine, and we train that person to do it.

Michigan's mowing season runs in a tight arc. Cool-season turf pushes hard from late spring into early summer, slows when heat and dry spells arrive, and needs steady attention through the fall. Weekend play and busy event days make the mowing window narrow, so the robot earns its place by running on a schedule set around the course's busiest hours. It can cut during quiet periods and hold off when the crew needs the fairways clear. The route can be adjusted as growth rates change across the year.

The same kind of mower fits other large lawns around Saugatuck too. City and township parks, school and college campuses, corporate grounds and sports fields all have wide open turf that needs regular cutting on a fixed schedule. A robotic mower for sports fields or an autonomous mower for parks follows a mapped route just as it does on a course, and it can run when the grounds are empty. The mapping and schedule work carry over, so a crew that already runs those grounds can add the mower without changing its plans.

Who does what in Saugatuck

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

How it works in Saugatuck

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
