Every golf course is a complex ecosystem. Turf, water, people, machines, budgets, expectations – all moving parts that must work in harmony, day after day, season after season. For greenskeepers, course managers and club owners alike, the challenge isn’t simply maintaining standards. It’s doing more with less: less time, less labour, tighter budgets, and increasing pressure around sustainability and performance.

That’s the reality of modern golf course management. And it’s exactly why Toro continues to evolve the way it supports the industry.

Solving today’s challenges, together

Across the industry, the challenges are consistent, and course expectations remain high.

Water management is under increasing scrutiny. Climate pressures, rising costs and regulatory demands require smarter, more precise irrigation strategies. Toro’s advanced irrigation and water management technologies help courses optimise usage, protect turf quality and make confident, data-led decisions – without adding operational burden.

Labour shortages remain one of the biggest pressures facing course maintenance teams. Autonomous and semi-autonomous solutions are no longer future concepts; they are practical tools that free staff to focus on the areas where their time matters most. By integrating autonomous technology seamlessly alongside traditional equipment, Toro helps courses maintain standards while adapting to changing workforce realities.

Communication and visibility are essential for modern operations. Connected products and smart systems allow teams to monitor performance, plan maintenance, and respond quickly, whether that’s from the maintenance facility, the clubhouse or remotely. When systems talk to each other, decisions become clearer, and downtime becomes easier to avoid.

Sustainability isn’t just a nice-to-have anymore. Electric and hybrid offerings, efficient water use, and long-lasting equipment all play a role in reducing environmental impact while protecting performance. Toro’s commitment to sustainability is not a trend response; it’s a long-term investment rooted in enriching the land and supporting the future of the game.

Individually, these challenges are familiar. Together, they demand an integrated approach.

Introducing Total Golf Solutions

Toro Total Golf Solutions is not about a single machine, system or technology. It’s a philosophy – one built on the understanding that golf courses don’t operate in silos, and neither should the solutions that support them.

At its core, Total Golf Solutions brings together everything a course needs to operate efficiently and sustainably: turf maintenance equipment, irrigation and water management, utility vehicles, autonomous technology, and connected, data-driven systems – all delivered through one trusted partner.

No brand can match the breadth and integration Toro delivers across the entire golf course.

Designed by people who understand the job

Toro’s credibility comes from more than innovation alone. It comes from proximity to the people doing the work.

We know golf courses because we’ve spent more than a century working alongside them – listening to greenskeepers during early morning starts, spending time in the workshop with mechanics, and responding to the real-world challenges that define the job. We understand that solutions only matter if they make life easier, faster and more reliable on the ground.

That insight is engineered into everything we do. From shared components across equipment platforms, designed to simplify servicing and maintenance, to technologies that reduce complexity, to aftersales support that keeps teams moving when it matters most – Total Golf Solutions is built around ease, accessibility and long-term reliability.

The power of one partner

What truly sets Toro apart is not just the breadth of its offering – it’s how those solutions work together, supported by a single, knowledgeable partner.

Globally, Toro operates through trusted channel partners, often with decades-long relationships. These aren’t transactional suppliers. They are consultants, technical specialists and trusted advisors who understand local conditions, course-specific needs and long-term planning cycles.

For golf clubs, this brings greater clarity – fewer points of contact, more joined-up conversations that consider the entire course, rather than isolated purchases, and a partner invested in long-term performance, not short-term sales.

It also means confidence. Confidence that equipment, irrigation, vehicles and technologies are designed to integrate. Confidence that parts, service and support are streamlined. Confidence that decisions made today will still deliver value years down the line.

From supplier to strategic partner

Too often, golf courses are forced to piece together solutions from multiple brands, systems and suppliers – each optimised in isolation, but rarely aligned as a whole. That fragmentation creates complexity, inefficiency and missed opportunity.

Toro Total Golf Solutions changes that mindset by giving clubs a true strategic partner – one that simplifies operations, brings clarity to complex decisions, and supports performance not just today, but over the long term.

For greenskeepers, that means tools and technologies that respect their expertise and time. For managers and owners, it means visibility, control and confidence that investments are aligned with performance, sustainability and future readiness.

A proven partner for the long term

Innovation matters, but longevity matters too. Toro has spent more than 100 years supporting the golf industry, continually investing in engineering, technology and service to meet evolving demands. That experience brings perspective, resilience and a commitment to progress that goes beyond short-term trends.

Total Golf Solutions is the result of that journey. It reflects not only what golf courses need today, but where the industry is heading tomorrow – with autonomous solutions supporting stretched teams, connected technologies improving decision-making, and more sustainable practices helping courses protect both performance and the environment.

Let’s start the conversation

Every course is different. That’s why Total Golf Solutions is not a fixed package, but a flexible, consultative approach designed around each club’s unique goals, challenges and resources.

If you’re looking to simplify operations, strengthen sustainability, address labour challenges or gain a clearer, more connected view of your course, it starts with a conversation. One brand. Many solutions. One trusted partner.

Toro, in collaboration with its UK distributor Reesink UK and St Andrews Links Trust, proudly celebrates a 25-year partnership, marking one of the longest-standing formal relationships between Toro and a customer globally.

This enduring collaboration underscores a shared commitment to innovation, sustainability, and excellence in golf course management, helping shape the modern landscape of greenkeeping at the ‘Home of Golf’ and beyond.

A Legacy of Innovation

St Andrews Links has long been a symbol of golf’s heritage, tracing its roots back to the 15th century. It was here that Old Tom Morris was one of the first to revolutionise course care with many new practices including topdressing, the practice of using sand to create smooth greens and teeing grounds, now a fundamental technique worldwide. Building on this legacy, Toro has delivered cutting-edge technologies to support the evolving demands of turf management, from precision irrigation to advanced electric mowing systems.

“St Andrews Links is where tradition meets innovation,” said Amy Dahl, vice president International at The Toro Company. “For 25 years, we’ve had the privilege of supporting their dedication to excellence through trusted equipment, sustainable solutions, and shared values. This milestone represents not just a partnership, but an ongoing legacy of progress.”

Driving Standards in Turf Management Through a Shared Commitment

Over the past two and a half decades, Toro and Reesink UK have supported the Trust with groundbreaking equipment and irrigation systems, helping it remain a benchmark for golf course quality worldwide.

“The collaboration with Toro has been pivotal in enabling us to deliver world-class course conditions that honour our heritage while embracing the future,” said Neil Coulson, CEO of St Andrews Links Trust. “This partnership is defined by mutual respect, shared purpose and a drive to constantly improve.”

Alastair Rowell, Managing Director at Reesink UK, added: “We’re proud to play a role in this remarkable journey. This partnership exemplifies the best of what can be achieved when industry leaders come together with a long-term vision and a passion for excellence.”

Looking Ahead

As this milestone is celebrated, all three partners remain focused on what lies ahead. The collaboration between Toro, Reesink UK and St Andrews Links Trust is not just a reflection of the past 25 years—it’s a foundation for continued innovation in sustainable course management and support for the next generation of greenkeepers.

Think about all the ways you already use smart connected products today. From thermostats and doorbell cameras to fitness trackers and appliances, connected products are part of everyday life. The same technology that allows you to start your car from your mobile phone also has the potential to streamline operations on the golf course.

Smart connected products are digital tools that share information in real time across your operation. For greenkeeping teams, that can mean better visibility into equipment usage, maintenance schedules, work orders and more — resulting in less downtime, better planning and a more productive team.

The Opportunity

Imagine having instant access to track where machines are, what condition they’re in and what service they’ll need next. You could have a clear picture of your fleet and equipment at any given moment.

In addition, with connected work order systems, tasks can be scheduled and assigned quickly. You can account for upcoming maintenance, allocate time and labour, and even estimate costs before work begins. These features help avoid delays, reduce breakdowns and keep equipment in rotation longer. For those managing budgets, connected systems also make it easier to monitor part usage and plan for future needs.

Putting It into Practice

One example of this technology in action is Toro’s Intelli360 — a web-based digital toolbox that integrates several Toro applications into a single, user-friendly experience.

Currently, Intelli360 offers equipment tracking with geolocation, allowing users to see the location, status and maintenance needs of connected equipment on a map view. Teams can manage work orders with the ability to create and assign maintenance tasks, track parts and labour, and review service history.

“Intelli360 is designed with the flexibility to grow and evolve for the long term,” said Janel Hinde, Global Product Marketing Manager at Toro. “We’re currently working to add features like parts inventory, ordering functions and integration with third-party applications, and more enhancements are in development.”

Looking Ahead

Toro has set its sights on building a fully connected ecosystem for course maintenance. Future developments aim to bring irrigation systems, autonomous machine controls and diagnostic tools into the same digital platform. The long-term vision includes an integrated dashboard, bringing together data from across the golf course’s entire operation into one cohesive view. “We have a long runway planned for expanded features and integrations with other smart connected products and Toro systems,” said Hinde. “We’re committed to enhancing the platform in ways that bring value over time.”

Whether you manage a small course or a large-scale resort, smart connected tools like Intelli360 can help you make proactive, informed decisions. To learn more about what’s currently available and what’s on the horizon, visit toro.com/intelli360 or contact your local Toro distributor.

Across the golf industry, greenkeepers are facing a tough but familiar challenge: Do more with less. Labour is harder to find, costs keep rising, and players expect pristine playing conditions. That’s why many are turning to autonomous equipment as a solution to maximise efficiency without sacrificing turf quality.

Why Experience Matters

When it comes to autonomous technology, it’s not just about innovation — it’s about knowing the turf. Rather than retrofit other products for golf, Toro’s solutions are built from the ground up by people who understand the game, the course and the crew. With over 100 years of experience in golf course maintenance, Toro designs autonomous equipment that fits seamlessly into daily operations because it’s engineered with golf courses in mind. In addition to product quality, Toro provides after-sales support with training, parts and more to ensure long-term customer satisfaction.

Tailored to the Task

Toro’s autonomous journey began with GeoLink technology on the Multi Pro 5800 sprayer, offering GPS-guided precision. That foundation has expanded to include the GeoLink Solutions Autonomous Fairway Mower, the Turf Pro™ mower series and the Range Pro™ for automated ball collection.

Each product in the range is designed to meet specific demands on the course. The GeoLink Autonomous Fairway Mower is ideal for intensive fairway maintenance, using proven Toro cutting units for high-quality performance. Other options, such as the Turf Pro, excel at routine mowing across large areas with quiet, efficient operation. And the semi-autonomous Multi Pro 5800 with GeoLink Steer combines hands-on control with automated steering, enhancing precision in spray applications.

The Technology Behind the Machines

Toro’s autonomous products feature three core technologies: centimetre-level Real Time Kinematc (RTK) and GPS positioning, digital boundary mapping and wireless communication. These features enable Toro’s machines to follow set paths, avoid overlap and even operate in sync as needed.

For example, the Range Pro and Turf Pro can run side by side, coordinated and controlled remotely through a mobile device. This expands your labour pool by allowing greenkeeping staff to apply their skills and time to more specialised, high-value tasks — enhancing productivity without compromising on the human expertise that’s essential to course care.

Looking Ahead

Just as the golf industry continues to evolve, Toro continues to invest in its autonomous lineup to meet changing demands. By listening to those on the ground and continuing to fund research and development, Toro is committed to working toward a future where automation and human expertise work seamlessly together.
