Solon, IA: Lawn mowing robots for golf course fairways and rough, freeing crew hours

A lawn mowing robot, also called a robotic or autonomous mower, can cut the fairways and rough at a Solon golf course without anyone riding on a seat. It follows a route mapped to your property and runs on a schedule agreed with the superintendent, then returns to its charger when the pass is done. What your crew gets back is the time that used to go into long fairway and rough passes, and that time can go to the work golfers notice. Those hours are usually the first to get squeezed when the crew is short.

Fairways and rough get mapped as separate areas, and the spots the robot must stay out of get marked, so the route follows how your course is actually laid out. Rough suits a robot well because those passes are long, repetitive and easy to fall behind on. Once the route is set, the mower covers the same ground the same way each time. Your superintendent still agrees the mowing times and decides where the crew's freed hours go.

Mowing in Solon follows the weather more than the calendar. Cool-season grass pushes hard in spring and again in early fall, then slows during the midsummer heat, so mowing here usually runs from the thaw until the first hard frost. Spring rain can leave fairways and rough wet on mornings you had planned to cut, and a schedule that can shift with the weather keeps the route on track without pulling a crew off other work. Short, frequent passes also fit around tournaments and busy weekends, since the mower can run in the gaps between groups of golfers.

Other big lawns around Solon have the same mowing problem. Parks, school and college campuses, corporate grounds and sports fields all have wide, repetitive areas that need passes on a set route, and a robotic mower fits that work much as it fits a fairway. Sports fields need the schedule built around game days, so the timing has to follow the calendar the field already keeps.

Who does what in Solon

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

How it works in Solon

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.
