Stockton, IL: Robotic Mowers for Golf Course Fairways and Rough, Freeing Crew Hours for Greens
A lawn mowing robot can cut the fairways and rough at a Stockton, Illinois golf course on a mapped route, leaving the greens, tees and bunkers to the crew. It takes the long fairway and rough passes that tie up a ride-on mower for hours, and it runs on a schedule the superintendent agrees to in advance. The crew gets that time back for the work golfers actually notice, like bunker edges and tee boxes.
The route is set once, so the robot knows where each fairway ends, where the rough starts and which spots stay out of bounds, such as a fresh bunker rebuild or a native patch. When a pass is finished, it heads back to its charger without anyone riding along. That makes early starts and late finishes workable, and one crew member can check on the machine between other jobs. For a course short on grounds staff, that is the part that changes the week.

Stockton sits in northwest Illinois, where cool-season grasses like bluegrass, ryegrass and fescue do most of the work. Growth is fast from spring into early summer, so the robot can run more often when the turf needs it. Heat and dry spells slow the grass and stress it through July and August, so mowing usually moves to early morning or evening, and the schedule shifts with it. Play peaks on weekends and on league and event days, and the robot's windows can work around those without anyone rescheduling by hand. In late fall, the crew decides when growth has slowed enough to stop.
The same mower suits other big lawns across the Stockton area: city parks, school and college grounds, corporate campuses and sports fields. A robotic mower for sports fields handles large turf areas that are hard to cut on a fixed schedule around practices and games. Corporate and office lawns are another good fit, since the mowing can happen after people leave.

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.
Greens, tees, bunkers and trim
These stay with your crew. The hours they spent mowing fairways go to this work instead.
Parks, campuses and sports fields
