Old Fold Manor

Initial consultation:

Old Fold Manor located in Barnet is home to 18 hole course well known for it’s greens designed by Harry Colt, approached GroundTech to discuss the possibility of using robotic mowers to maintain the whole 6,500 yards, par 71 course.

Understanding the requirements:

Old Fold Manor approached GroundTech to discuss the new technology and how it could help modernise the fairway maintenance on the course.

After the initial meeting with Mark we were able to understand the pressures and where the robotic mowers could help the team on site and increase the greenkeeping teams hours available to develop other areas of the course.

GroundTech spent time surveying the course and where the best place for the power, each mower to operate and provide a comprehensive plan on how the fairways can be managed through the use of robotics with an even workload placed on each machine to ensure the consistency across the course for the golfers.

The package provided by GroundTech includes:

  • 3 × Echo TM2050 Robotic Mowers with 6-blade anti-scalp discs
  • 3 × Charging Stations
  • 1 × 4G Base Station
  • 5-Year Warranty
  • Lifetime Data Subscriptions
  • Annual Servicing
  • Blade supply also included for the duration of the 5 year lease
  • Greenkeeping Team Training (mapping & blade changes)
  • Scheduled Engineer Support Visits throughout the season

Trial and Implementation of Robotic Mowers:

After a successful two-week on-site demonstration provided by GroundTech earlier in the year, Old Fold Manor took the next steps in modernising their course maintenance by signing a fully maintained lease agreement. The two-week demonstration allowed Old Fold Manor to fully evaluate performance, reliability and operational benefits.

Testimonial:

“What shone through was the cutting quality, the knowledge of the product from the GroundTech team and the professionalism shown during the demo from the testing, cutting height setup, diamond patterns on the cut angles. The responsiveness to questions and the time taken to go through the detailed mapping of the site, the time taken to show the green keeping team right through to the general manager all of the features not just of the machine but of the app also.”
