Wayne, IL: Lawn Mowing Robots for Golf Course Fairways and Rough, Keeping Crews Off Mower Seats

Lawn mowing robots set up for a Wayne golf course cut the fairways and rough on a mapped route, so the crew stops spending long mower days on those passes. The hours that come back go to the detail work golfers notice, which is usually where a small crew feels the squeeze. Nobody has to sit on the seat for the long passes, so the day can be spent on work that needs hands.

The timing is where superintendents tend to see the biggest difference. With no one riding the machine, a route can run early in the morning or late in the evening, while the course is quiet. Fairways and rough can run on separate routes, so the rough can be left a little taller where the course wants it. The schedule can be set so members rarely notice the mower at all.

Mowing in northern Illinois follows the cool-season grasses most courses here grow, and those grasses push hard in spring and again in early fall. The cut is busiest when growth is fast, and it eases during the hot, humid stretch of July and August, when many superintendents raise heights to keep turf from stressing. Through the season the robot can be scheduled around league play and weekend outings, and it can sit out a soft, wet week. Once the cold sets in and growth stops, the route can rest until spring.

Parks, school and college campuses, corporate grounds and sports fields across the area carry the same kind of mowing load, with large open turf that has to be cut on a regular cycle. The same robotic mower fits a village park that needs cutting before a weekend crowd, a campus lawn between class periods, or a sports field that has to be ready between games.

Who does what in Wayne

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

How it works in Wayne

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.
