Commercial Bots at Howick Golf Club: Tournament Turf, Maintained Overnight

Howick Golf Club runs Commercial Bots’ FJD Rough Ranger and Titan mowers across its rough, surrounds and slopes, working to mapped boundaries on a schedule the course sets, without taking holes out of play for members.

Built for golf turf, at any scale

Autonomous, RTK-guided mowing for fairways, rough and slopes. Night operation means mowing happens after hours, so the course stays open to members all day.

  • 24/7 mowing window, day or night
  • Zero fuel and emissions
  • Up to 18 holes of rough mowed per week across a three-machine fleet
  • Around one hour to map boundaries, per hole

The right cut for every zone

  • FJD Rough Ranger – rough, surrounds, general grass. 20-127mm cutting height, up to 15° slope.
  • RCM01 – fairways, striped tournament finish. 4mm minimum cutting height.
  • Titan – slopes, wet ground and challenging areas. From 10mm cutting height, up to 25° slope.

What the crew gets back

  • More time back. Mowing runs overnight and off the clock, so the crew gets more hours for grass health, presentation and bunker detail.
  • Fewer breakdowns to chase. No engine, no hydraulics, no roadside repairs.
  • NZ-based support. Parts, servicing and technical support are based here in New Zealand, not routed offshore.
