Tempe, AZ: Lawn Mowing Robots for Golf Course Fairways and Rough, Freeing Crew Hours for Greens

77°FOvercast in Tempe right now

Lawn mowing robots can cut the fairways and rough at a Tempe golf course, and that frees the crew from hours on a mower seat. The robot follows a set route across the large turf areas, so the crew can put its time into greens, tees, bunkers and trim, the work golfers actually notice. Rough is a good place to start because it covers a lot of ground, and a steady, repeatable cut matters more there than fine finish work.

The biggest gain is hours. A crew member who is not driving fairway passes can handle the hand work the robot never touches. The cut also stays even, since the robot runs the same paths at the same settings every time, which is hard to hold across a long week with several operators. Mowing can run in the early morning or late evening, which keeps noise and carts off the grass while people are playing.

Tempe's climate shapes the mowing calendar. Warm-season grasses like bermudagrass keep growing through most of the year, so the cutting load rarely stops. Summer heat pushes mowing toward night, and monsoon storms in late summer can cut a run short, so the schedule needs room to flex. Many Valley courses overseed with cool-season ryegrass in fall, and that stretch calls for different heights and passes, which is a good time to adjust the route. Winter is the busiest period for play, and a robotic fairway mower that runs at night leaves the daytime course to golfers.

The same kind of autonomous mower fits the other large turf around Tempe. City parks, school and college campuses, corporate grounds and sports fields all have long stretches of grass that need a regular, even cut. Sports fields with set game days are a good match for a mower that runs on a fixed timetable and stays off the playing surface when games are on.

Who does what in Tempe

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

How it works in Tempe

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.
