The hardest properties in the county
Golf courses are among the hardest iguana properties in the county, and it's not close. A course like PGA National, Mirasol, or Del-Aire packs together dozens of retention lakes with soft, burrowable banks, acres of the tender turf iguanas love, and manicured clubhouse and tee-box beds full of the flowers and new growth they graze first.
The burrowing collapses bank edges and cart paths, the grazing scars greens and fairway margins, and the droppings foul the exact playing surfaces members care about most.
Why spot-treating fails
Because a course is really a chain of connected lakes and canals, spot-treating one hole just refills from the next.
- Dozens of connected lakes share one iguana population
- Burrows undermine bank edges and cart paths
- Grazing scars greens, tee boxes, and clubhouse beds
- Droppings foul the surfaces members notice first
A course-wide program
We map the full network of lake banks and fairway edges, run a monitored trapping program on the active runs and basking spots, and do the bank work and plant protection that cuts the burrowing and grazing at the source. We schedule around play, keep documentation for the superintendent and management, and keep everything FWC-compliant. It's the same logic as a community lake, scaled up to a whole course.
Common questions
Iguanas are tearing up our greens and bank edges. Can you fix it course-wide?
Yes. We map the full network of lake banks and fairway edges, run a monitored trapping program, and do bank work and plant protection to cut burrowing and grazing at the source.
Can you work around play and events?
We schedule around the course's calendar, keep documentation for the superintendent, and stay FWC-compliant throughout.
Why can't we just clear one problem hole?
A course is a chain of connected lakes and canals, so a single cleared hole refills from the next. Course-wide mapping and a monitored program are what actually hold numbers down.
