How much does iguana removal cost for a golf course?

Golf course programs are quoted to the property — priced to the number of retention lakes, bank footage, and fairway edges we're managing, with reporting for the club.

Golf courses are quoted to the property, not off a price list. A course in Palm Beach Gardens or Wellington might have dozens of retention lakes with soft banks that iguanas burrow into, fairway edges they graze, and clubhouse beds they tear up. The program cost scales with how much of that we're managing and how heavy the population has gotten.

We assess the course first — mapping the lake banks and the worst burrowing and basking spots — then build a monitored program with reporting the club and grounds crew can use. The goal is fewer collapsed burrows on the banks, less damage to greens and beds, and a schedule that keeps working through breeding season.

Why courses are priced individually

No two courses have the same amount of water. A course with a dozen retention lakes and soft, burrow-friendly banks is a far bigger program than one with a couple of hard-edged ponds. The cost is built from the lake count and bank footage, the fairway and clubhouse landscaping under pressure, and how established the population already is. That's why the number comes after a walk, not before.

Protecting bank stability and playability

Iguana burrows undermine the retention-lake banks that hold a course's water features together, and grazing chews up greens, tees, and clubhouse beds. A program isn't just removal — it's monitored trapping paired with bank work to collapse and pack burrows so the edges stop failing. On a course, the cost of doing nothing shows up as eroding banks and torn-up landscaping, which is the real comparison to the program price.

Reporting for the club

Grounds superintendents and club management want to see the work tracked, and we build that in.

  • Lake-bank mapping and a documented program schedule
  • Service records and reporting for the club and grounds crew
  • A single point of contact
  • Seasonal adjustments that hold through breeding season

Common questions

Can you protect the greens and bank stability?

That's the point of the program. Burrows undermine bank stability and iguanas graze the landscaping, so we combine monitored removal with bank work to cut both.

Do you report to the club?

Yes. Course programs come with service records and reporting for the club and grounds team, plus a single point of contact.

How is a golf course quoted differently from a home?

It scales with the water — lake count, bank footage, and fairway landscaping under pressure. We map all of that on a free walk, then price the schedule it takes to hold the population down.
