Aphrodite Hills Resort in Cyprus has put nine Husqvarna robotic mowers to work on its 18-hole championship course, which is home to PGA National Cyprus. The machines were installed in October 2026, and Golf Business News reported the project on October 27. The resort says it’s the first golf resort in Cyprus to use robotic mowing.
The fleet
The resort bought two CEORA 546 EPOS units and seven Automower 580L EPOS units. They will cut the fairways, semi-roughs and rough of the Cabell B Robinson-designed course. Both models use Husqvarna’s satellite-based EPOS system, so they work inside virtual boundaries rather than a buried wire. Mowing areas and schedules can be changed to suit the course, and temporary exclusion zones can keep the mowers off areas that are being worked on. The team can also monitor and control them remotely.
Course superintendent David Blair says the aim is to cut fuel use and noise from routine mowing and give the greenkeeping team more time for skilled work. The machines are battery powered, so there are no direct exhaust emissions while they run. Fotis Raptis, head of Husqvarna Group at Pantelis Papadopoulos, says Husqvarna golf mowers are used at more than 1,700 courses worldwide.
Why it matters for buyers
Mixing a larger fairway machine (CEORA) with smaller Automowers for other areas is one way courses are building robotic fleets, rather than replacing one big mower with one robot. If you’re looking at the same move, it’s worth asking any supplier how boundaries are set up and changed, what happens around bunkers and paths, and who services the machines locally. Our robotic mower suppliers and golf course mower pages list dealers and specialists, and the golf course machinery buying guide covers what to compare.
This report is based on desk research of the published coverage. We haven’t seen the mowers in use or spoken to the resort or Husqvarna.
