The Colony, TX: Autonomous Mowers for Golf Course Fairways and Rough, Freeing Crew Hours

80°FClear in The Colony right now

Lawn mowing robots can cut the fairways and rough at a golf course in The Colony, Texas, on a set route, while the crew keeps the greens, tees and bunkers. A robotic mower runs the long fairway and rough passes without anyone riding on it, and those passes are where a lot of crew hours go. The payoff is that the crew moves its time to edges, bunker faces and the detail work golfers see every round.

The autonomous mower follows a schedule the superintendent agrees, so it can work early, late or during quiet hours and stay off the grass when groups are on it. When a pass is finished it heads back to its charger, so nobody has to drive out to pull it off the turf. Before anything runs, the steepest banks and tightest rough edges get checked, since those decide where the robot can work and where the crew keeps a hand on the job.

The Colony sits in North Texas, where warm-season grass like bermuda grows hard from late spring into summer and can need passes several times a week at peak. Growth slows in the cooler months, so the mowing load shifts with the calendar. Summer heat pushes most work into early morning or evening, and a spring storm can leave turf too wet to cut cleanly. A robotic mower fits around all of that because the schedule can move with the weather and with any tournament week the superintendent sets.

The same kind of mower fits the other big lawns around town too. City and neighborhood parks, school and college campuses, corporate grounds and sports fields all have large open turf that gets mowed on a repeat pattern. An autonomous mower for parks or a robotic mower for sports fields follows the same mapped-route approach, with the edges and detail work still done by the crew.

Who does what in The Colony

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

How it works in The Colony

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.
