Teeing off a new era in golf course hospitality and leisure, Brooke Management Group, Robot.com (formerly Kiwibot), and Harbor Links Golf Course made history this spring with the launch of the first autonomous food and beverage delivery robots on a U.S. golf course.
Operational at Harbor Links Golf Course in Port Washington since its successful debut on April 24, this innovation has transformed the golfer experience with convenience and efficiency.
In partnership with Robot.com, the service features self-driving robots delivering fresh food and drinks to golfers throughout the course and driving range without interruptions. These intelligent units serve as digital caddies with secure, temperature-controlled compartments.
The robots mark a starting step in Brooke Management Group’s initiative to modernize Harbor Links and rank it among the top public golf courses in the country. “This is truly one of the most interesting initiatives that I have ever been involved with,” said Kelley Brooke, President of Brooke Management Group. “To be the first to bring robot delivery to a golf course is thrilling, and the fact that we’re launching it at Harbor Links makes it even more special. Together, we’ve created something that’s going to change the way food and beverage service is experienced on the course forever.”
Recognizing the transformative role of robots, the Town of North Hempstead has strongly supported this initiative. “We’re proud to support this forward-thinking project that not only improves guest experience but puts North Hempstead on the map as a leader in innovation and public-private partnerships,” said Town Supervisor Jennifer DeSena.
The project began in 2024 when Kelley Brooke of Brooke Management Group partnered with Robot.com to adapt campus-based delivery technology for the golf course environment.
“Witnessing our autonomous robots seamlessly integrate into Harbor Links is more than a technological milestone; it’s a demonstration of Robot.com’s ‘Physical World API’ vision,” said Felipe Chavez, Founder and CEO of Robot.com. “We’re showing how intelligent automation can enhance established industries, solve real-world challenges like labor shortages, and deliver tangible value today. This partnership proves our robots are not just building the future, but actively transforming operations, enhancing experiences, and empowering human teams right now.”
