Next-generation autonomous range pickers offer golf courses, private clubs, and driving ranges flexible acquisition models, including direct purchase and fully serviced 2-year rentals.
CHICAGO — Chicago-based Range Genie LLC has officially announced a strategic partnership with autonomous robotics developer Wayrobo to distribute its advanced robotic range pickers across the United States under the Range Genie brand name.
To accelerate nationwide rollout and provide premier customer support, Range Genie has entered into an exclusive distribution agreement with Wittek Golf, an industry-leading supplier of golf course and driving range equipment. Through this partnership, Wittek Golf will supply the Range Genie autonomous robots to golf courses, private clubs, and standalone driving ranges nationwide.
Range Genie is engineered to solve acute labor shortages, reduce operating costs, and keep practice facilities continuously stocked with clean, ready-to-hit golf balls.
Operating fully autonomously and powered by Ai, with intelligent obstacle avoidance, terrain-handling capabilities, long battery life and automated dumping cycles, the system drastically reduces the need for manual tractor picking and heavy-machinery maintenance.
To provide golf facility operators with maximum budget flexibility and zero operational headaches, Range Genie and Wittek Golf are offering two distinct acquisition pathways:
- • Outright Purchase: Full ownership for facilities seeking a direct capital investment into long-term range automation.
- • 2-Year Rental Agreement: An all-inclusive operational model covering the robot, comprehensive warranty, replacement parts, and routine servicing for the entire two-year term. (Option to purchase the Range Genie for $1 at end of rental agreement).
“Autonomous driving range management is no longer the future—it is here,” said Tim Pruban, President and CEO at Range Genie. “By combining Wayrobo’s cutting-edge technology with Wittek Golf’s trusted nationwide reach and our hands-on support, we are making it effortless for operators to modernize their ranges, lower their labor overhead, and improve range picking efficiency.”
For a limited time, Range Genie is offering the first month free on rental agreements.
