Goose Control

Floating Light on #8/11 pond.

A couple of weeks ago, we installed a solar powered flashing light on the pond between #8 and #11 green.  Intial results were somewhat questionable.  However, after two full weeks, we have definitely seen an improvement in the amount of geese hanging around this area overnight.

The light turns on automatically as the sun goes down, while recharging itself during the day.  The flashing light disrupts the geese's ability to sleep forcing them to move on to a different location.  Initially they moved to another area on the course.  Since that time they have left the course altogether.

As bad as the geese have been this year, we were willing to try anything.  This product has had mixed reviews at different locations, so far we are pleased with the results.
