Sterling Heights, MI: Autonomous Mowers for Golf Course Fairways and Rough, Freeing Crews for Greens

62°FPartly cloudy in Sterling Heights right now

Lawn mowing robots can take over the fairway and rough passes on a Sterling Heights golf course, running a mapped route at hours the course sets around play. Those laps eat more mower-seat time than almost any other job on the property. The robot runs them without a person in the seat, so crew hours go to greens, tees and bunkers. It runs often and takes a little off each time.

What the crew gets back is mostly time and attention. A person who used to spend a shift on fairway passes can work bunker faces, green edges and trim, which is what golfers see from the cart path. Mowing no longer hangs on who is free that morning. Over a season, fairways can look more even from week to week when the same route runs the same way each time.

Golf course mowing in Sterling Heights follows the season more than the calendar. Cool-season turf, the bluegrass and ryegrass most Midwest courses rely on, slows and stresses in the hot, humid stretch of July and August, so the mowing pace shifts with the weather. Play follows the same arc, with busy summer weekends, league nights and outings, then a quieter run as fall growth flattens out. A mowing route can run early or after close, around tee times, and the schedule can change when a wet spring or a dry August changes what the turf can take.

The same kind of mower suits other big lawns in and around Sterling Heights. Municipal parks, school and college campuses and corporate grounds all carry long stretches of turf on a regular rhythm, which is the sort of work a mapped route handles well. Athletic fields are a natural fit too, since a mower can hold an even height between games without tying up a crew member on a seat.

Who does what in Sterling Heights

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

How it works in Sterling Heights

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.
