Washington, IL: Lawn Mowing Robots for Golf Fairways and Rough Put Crew Hours Back on Greens

A lawn mowing robot in Washington, Illinois cuts a golf course's fairways and rough on a mapped route, so nobody has to sit on a mower seat for those passes. It runs the schedule the superintendent sets, stays out of the areas marked off, and returns to its charger when the job is done. Greens, tees, bunkers and trim work stay with your crew, and that is the point.

What the crew gets back is time. Driving fairway and rough passes eats up a big share of the week at most courses, and it is the work that is easiest to hand off. With a robotic mower handling it, the same people can spend those hours on cup changes, bunker edges, tee surfaces and the detail work golfers actually notice. It also helps with the labor shortage in golf course mowing, since one trained staff member keeps an eye on the machine instead of several people being tied to seats.

Central Illinois mowing runs hard from spring green-up into fall, with cool-season grasses that grow fast in May and June and again when the heat breaks. Hillcrest Golf Center, Pine Lakes Country Club and Quail Meadows Golf Course all know how quickly a wet spring can get ahead of a crew. A robotic fairway mower can work early, late or at night when the course is empty, so cuts stay on schedule without pushing into tee times, leagues or outings. We agree the mowing windows with the superintendent first, and you can change them when the calendar changes. Slopes, wet ground and storms get discussed during the site walk, and RoboCare™ backs the machine with 24/7 support, regular check visits and a 12-month warranty.

Golf is not the only place with this much grass. Parks, school and college campuses, corporate grounds and athletic fields around Washington face the same long mowing season and the same hunt for people to run mowers. The same autonomous mower fits those lawns, and we lease it through financing with one fixed payment, quoted after a free site assessment.

How it works in Washington

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.
