Satellite-guided robotic mowing systems for golf courses are transforming the way clubs manage turf.
FleetMech supplies and supports advanced RTK robotic mowers from Kress, helping golf clubs improve turf consistency, reduce labour pressure, and maintain exceptional playing surfaces across fairways, rough and surrounds.
Our autonomous mowing solutions for golf courses allow greenkeeping teams to focus on skilled agronomy work while robotic systems handle routine cutting with precision and consistency.
• Consistent fairway and rough presentation
• Reduced pressure on greenkeeping teams
• Lower fuel and maintenance costs
• Quiet, zero-emission operation
• Improved turf health through lighter machinery
Golf course maintenance teams face increasing pressure to maintain high playing standards while managing labour shortages, rising costs and sustainability targets. Robotic mowing technology directly addresses these challenges.
Autonomous robotic mowing systems maintain a consistent cutting schedule, ensuring fairways and rough remain evenly presented throughout the week.
Unlike traditional mowing schedules limited by staffing or weather windows, robotic mowers operate continuously to maintain optimal turf height and density.
This results in:
• Improved ball roll consistency
• Cleaner course presentation
• Healthier turf growth patterns
Labour shortages are one of the biggest challenges facing golf courses today.
Robotic mowing reduces the number of routine mowing hours required, allowing greenkeeping teams to focus on:
• Course preparation
• Agronomic improvements
• Bunker maintenance
• Irrigation and turf care
By automating routine cutting tasks, clubs can maintain high standards without increasing staffing requirements.
Heavy ride-on machinery can contribute to soil compaction over time.
Robotic mowers are significantly lighter than traditional mowing equipment, reducing stress on turf and protecting soil structure across fairways and rough.
Benefits include:
• Reduced soil compaction
• Healthier root development
• Improved water infiltration
Traditional mowing can disrupt the playing experience for golfers.
RTK robotic mowers operate quietly and efficiently, allowing mowing to take place during early mornings, evenings or even during play without disturbing golfers.
This ensures:
• Continuous course presentation
• Less disruption to tee times
• A quieter on-course environment
FleetMech provide a complete end-to-end implementation process to ensure robotic mowing systems are optimised for each course.
Our specialists assess mowing areas across your course, including fairways, rough, practice areas and surrounds.
We analyse terrain, turf types and operational requirements to determine the best robotic mowing configuration.
Using RTKn satellite navigation, mowing zones are digitally mapped across the course.
This allows robotic mowers to operate with centimetre-level accuracy, ensuring precise coverage of designated turf areas.
FleetMech install the robotic mowing system, including:
• Charging stations
• Mowing zones and boundaries
• Fleet management configuration
Once installed, the system is calibrated and tested to ensure reliable operation.
We provide ongoing technical support and servicing to keep robotic mowing systems operating at peak performance.
This includes:
• Maintenance and servicing
• System updates and optimisation
• Operational advice for greenkeeping teams
At FleetMech we supply and supports robotic mowing systems from Kress, a global leader in RTK robotic mowing technology.
We understand the operational requirements of golf courses and work closely with greenkeeping teams to ensure successful integration with existing maintenance practices.
Every golf course is different. Our team designs robotic mowing systems tailored to your course layout, turf areas and maintenance goals.
We provide complete installation, training and ongoing support to ensure your robotic mowing system delivers long-term value.
Robotic mowing technology is already being adopted by championship venues across Europe. Our clients include:
Hinckley golf club,
forest of arden golf club,
aspley guise & woburn sands golf club,
northampton golf club forest hill golf club
and the caversham golf club.
have implemented robotic mowing systems to improve turf consistency while reducing operational costs.
As more clubs modernise their maintenance operations, autonomous mowing is becoming a key part of future-focused turf management strategies.
