West Branch, MI: Lawn Mowing Robots for Golf Course Fairways and Rough, Shifting Crew Hours to Greens

38°FMostly clear in West Branch right now

Lawn mowing robots can cut the fairways and rough at a West Branch golf course on a fixed route, without anyone sitting on a mower seat. The machine follows a map of the course, stays out of the areas we mark off, and runs at times agreed with the superintendent, usually around play. What the crew gets back is the long stretches of driving fairway and rough passes, time they can spend on greens, tees, bunkers and trim, the work golfers actually notice.

A robotic mower for golf courses also changes when the mowing happens. Because nobody has to drive it, it can work early in the morning or late in the day, when the course is quiet and the cart paths are clear. The crew checks the machine at the start and end of its run and spends the rest of the shift on hand work. Early and late runs also keep the mowing out of the way of morning tee times and evening outings.

A West Branch season is short, and the grass sets the pace. Most courses here grow cool-season turf that pushes hard in spring and again in early fall, then slows during the midsummer heat and any dry spell. The robot's schedule has to follow that growth, so the mowing gets heavier in the flush weeks and lighter when the grass is stressed. Event days, league play and weekend tournaments are the other fixed points, and the route can be set to leave those windows clear.

The same kind of autonomous mower fits other large lawns around West Branch. Municipal parks, school and college campuses, corporate grounds and sports fields all have long open stretches that take a crew many hours to cut. A robotic mower for sports fields can follow a route drawn around goalposts, ballfield edges and walkways. Those sites can also set their mowing times around practices, games and events.

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.

How it works in West Branch

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.
