Fairways, Water Features, Cart Paths, and Club House Greenspaces
Our course struggled with geese for over 10 years. We tried everything—nothing worked. We spent thousands on cleanup and maintenance. But now, thanks to Away With Geese, we are winning the battle. In my 17 years as a golf course superintendent, this is by far one of the most effective products I’ve ever used.
The maintained grass and water features naturally attract geese, offering food and a safe place to sleep at night. When geese graze, they pull at and uproot the grass, causing bare spots, erosion and damaged turf. Some golf courses have reported over $20,000 of damage on greens alone due to geese.
A typical golf course with an average number of geese spends $1,000 per year picking up droppings from walkways and up to $2,000 in repairing or cleaning damaged greens. Golf Superintendents spend valuable hours deterring and rehabilitating damaged greens and fairways, as well as remediating contaminated waterways.
Geese attack and are especially aggressive during nesting seasons when people are close to their young. Competing with geese over space detracts from the experience of a course, resulting in complaints from golfers, damaged course reputation, and loss in revenue.
In 2005, Away With Geese was developed to address a Canada Goose problem at a local golf course. Since then, we have been the industry leader in goose repellents, boasting a 97% success rate backed by a Satisfaction Guarantee. Our maintenance-free units mean that Golf Superintendents can install the units and get back to the rest of their job.
As the geese settle into the water features in the evening to rest and be safe from predators, the units get to work. The solar powered flashing lights charge during the day and then flash a gentle 360-degree orange light from dusk to dawn that reaches a 100-yard radius. This light disrupts geese’s sensitive eyesight and makes the environment uncomfortable. Since geese prefer to stay in the same location day and night, they quickly relocate—and stay away for good.
Our durable, maintenance-free geese deterrent units are designed for the various needs of golf courses:
Geese often sleep in water at golf courses to be safe from predators at night and close to food during the day. The Water Unit sends a subtle flash of light from dusk to dawn, right at the eye-level of the geese, making for restless nights and effectively changing the feel of the habitat for the geese.
Geese nest and sleep in the grassy areas of golf courses that they feel most secure in at night. The Industrial Unit augers into the ground to deter theft that can happen in any accessible or public space, effectively reaching the nearby geese. Ensuring complete coverage of the problem areas both in the water and/or on the grass will ensure success.
Finally having a successful geese deterrent doesn’t do any good if it’s not able to do its job. The steel Cage protects the Industrial Unit against possible vandalism, while still allowing the unit to charge and flash.
With our Satisfaction Guarantee, Parts Warranty, and Shipping Included, there’s no reason not to try Away With Geese and reclaim your course.
To ensure complete coverage, place a unit every 100 yards and choose the right goose repellent for your space—whether it’s a water feature or fairway. For a free and personalized Property Analysis, submit a request, and we’ll provide tailored recommendations within 24 business hours.
