Robot Golf Ball Picking Solutions
Revolutionise your driving range with fully automated golf ball collection. From robotic pickers to complete ditch, washing, and dispensing systems, GroundTech delivers scalable robotic golf course solutions that reduce labour, improve turf care, and keep your range running 24/7.
Get a Grip On Your Driving Range
Our Echo RP-1200 robotic golf ball pickers collects thousands of balls every day with near-silent, emission-free performance. These autonomous machines work across your range with minimal disruption to players, while remote access lets you monitor, adjust routes, or pause collection from your smartphone or desktop.
Pair with GroundTech’s ditch automation and dispensing solutions to create a fully automated cycle — from ground to dispenser, no staff required.
The Benefits of a Robot-Led Operation
Work Around The Clock
Our robotic ball pickers and automated ditch systems operate day and night, so you never have to pause collection — even during busy hours.
All Weather
Built to handle UK weather all year round, the system keeps your ball collection moving in rain, heat, or frost without needing staff intervention.
Unbeatable Consistency & Precision
Precise, quiet, and consistent — every collection run is optimised to target high-density areas and maximise daily ball volume.
Automated Ball Handling From Start to Finish
We go beyond robotic picking. Our Range Servant ditch system is a modular solution that handles everything from ball collection to cleaning and dispensing. Whether you need a simple ditch and cart setup or a full system with washer, elevator, and the Ultima 19 dispenser — we’ve got it covered.
- Choose from manual or fully automated systems
- Compatible with robotic ball pickers from any brand
- Processes up to 24,000 balls/hour
- Expandable options: pre-wash, elevator, hopper, and sensor-driven dispenser
Run a quieter, cleaner, more efficient range with GroundTech’s complete golf ball handling solutions.
Why Ditch the Manual Work?
Manual ball collection is time-intensive, labour-heavy, and limited by staff availability. Robotic systems can operate off-peak — early morning, late evening, or during quiet periods — without impacting play or requiring supervision.
They’re more consistent than manual labour, more efficient with each pass, and remove the need for heavy lifting or staff downtime. Over time, this reduces wage costs, lowers equipment wear, and frees up your team for higher-value tasks. Whether you’re running a small range or a busy multi-bay site, automating ball handling delivers significant long-term savings.

The Kress Mega that GroundTech provided on demonstration showed me the great capability of the machine, which was delivered very shortly after placing the order. Throughout the process, Marcus and the GroundTech team were responsive, highly communicative and professional: attributes which have already extended to their after-sales service.

Thank you to your team for doing a fantastic job with our pitch. My husband and many others really enjoyed seeing what your machine could do. I was very impressed with the result.

We are lucky enough to be having a demo and trial of this little fella! Supplied by GroundTech, he’s going to be cutting the grass while we can get on with other grounds work. This might be one of the newest recruits!

I am very happy with my Kress robotic mower. It obviously saves man hours cutting the grass but also because it is cutting every day there are no clippings left behind and the grass is improving as well. The mower will operate over 24 hours but I’ve currently got it set for 12 hours during the day as that is what works for us, there is also a rain delay setting if required.

The automowers have come into their own over the last few months, saving us around 30-40 hours per week which has helped us focus on the improving other areas of the golf course that we previously couldn’t. We will be looking to add to our fleet in the coming months.

“
The quality of the cut and no arisings being left on the field at any time has led to positive feedback from all users of our main field. Any maintenance on the machines has been carried out efficiently. Very impressive all round and we are looking to secure funding to roll these out across the trust
