Selma, AL: Robotic Mowers for Golf Course Fairways and Rough, Crew Time Back on Greens

68°FOvercast in Selma right now

Selma golf courses that want fairways and rough mowed without a rider on the seat can put a lawn mowing robot on the job. It runs a route mapped to the course, takes on the long fairway and rough passes, and drives itself back to its charger when the run is done. The crew keeps the greens, tees, bunkers and trim, which is the work golfers look at most closely, and gets back the time it would have spent in the seat.

Fairways and rough rarely need the same treatment, so each area gets its own cutting height and run times on the route. Slope is a fair question for any course with rolling ground, and the robotic mower has to be set for the grades it will climb, which is checked on site before any lease is signed. The schedule can also move around rain, so a soggy morning does not force a cut. A course can run fairway cuts overnight or in the early hours, so mowing does not compete with morning play.

Selma summers are hot and humid, and many courses around here grow warm-season grass, usually bermudagrass, that pushes hard from late spring into early fall. Fairways and rough can need frequent cuts through that stretch, then far fewer in the cooler months when growth slows. Afternoon storms are common in summer, so run times usually stay in early morning or late evening, and the schedule can pull back on event weekends or busy stretches of play. The slower winter months are a good time to test the route and check how the robot handles the grass.

The same kind of mower suits the other large grass around Selma. Parks, school and college campuses, corporate grounds and sports fields all have long mowing runs and tight windows around use, and routes and run times can be set around games, classes and the people who use the space. Open turf with clear edges is the simplest fit, so a quick look at the grounds usually shows whether the mower will work.

Who does what in Selma

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

How it works in Selma

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.
