Beautiful Courses Start With Healthier Water.
Golf course lagoons are part of the landscape—and an essential part of the water cycle. When water quality deteriorates, unpleasant odors, floating solids, mosquito problems, and accumulated organic matter can turn a valuable asset into a constant maintenance challenge.
For courses that store reclaimed wastewater for irrigation, improving lagoon health also supports more responsible water reuse.
Regenerate the Lagoon. Transform the Experience.
-
Unpleasant odors that affect nearby homes, fairways, and gathering spaces.
-
Floating solids and accumulated organic matter that diminish the lagoon’s appearance and condition.
-
Mosquito outbreaks that disrupt outdoor activities and reduce comfort for players, residents, and staff.
-
Excess nutrients that contribute to water quality deterioration.
-
Degraded aquatic habitats that struggle to support wildlife.
-
Ongoing water management challenges where lagoons also serve as irrigation reservoirs.
In Action at Puerto Los Cabos
At Puerto Los Cabos, BSW has regenerated two golf course lagoons receiving reclaimed municipal wastewater. Previously affected by persistent odors, floating sludge, and mosquito problems, the lagoons showed visible improvements within the first two months of treatment.
The transformation extended beyond appearance: laboratory testing documented improvements in water quality, unpleasant odors subsided, floating solids diminished, and ducks returned to the water.
More Value from Every Drop
Regenerating existing lagoons helps golf courses make better use of reclaimed water while improving the landscape for players, residents, and wildlife.

Projected Impact Over 5 Years
TURF HEALTH DECLINE
Short Term
-
Dry spots and patchy discoloration
-
Salt accumulation causing leaf tip burn and wilting
-
Turf thinning, especially on greens and slopes
Mid-Term
-
Widespread turf loss in high-traffic areas
-
Loss of visual uniformity with mottled, dull turf
-
Unplayable conditions requiring frequent replanting
WEAKENING SOIL STRUCTURE
Short Term
-
Rising sodium and detergents destroying soil aggregates
-
Surface crusting and poor infiltration
-
Increased compaction despite aeration
Mid-Term
-
Impermeable soil with stranding water and runoff
-
Shallow, weak root zones
-
Even clean water later may not reverse damage without total rennovation
OUR MITIGATION STRATEGY
Sustainable, Chemical-Free Treatment for Irrigation Lagoons
We design and install comprehensive, chemical-free treatment systems that restore and protect irrigation lagoons. Our process begins with a detailed diagnosis of the water’s condition—identifying whether the primary issue is algae, sludge, organic waste, oils, or suspended solids.
Based on this assessment, we implement a tailored combination of sustainable technologies, which may include:
-
Prefiltration equipment to remove fats, oils, and suspended solids
-
Magnetic conditioners to reduce mineral buildup and scale inside pipes
-
Ozone disinfection to drastically reduce microbial load
-
Ultrasonic conservation systems for effective, chemical-free algae control
-
Bioremediation platforms to naturally treat organic waste in wastewater-affected lagoons
Together, these integrated solutions:
-
Eliminate odors
-
Improve water clarity and quality
-
Eradicate mosquito outbreaks
-
Lower operational and maintenance costs
-
Prevent clogging in irrigation systems
-
Extend the lifespan of pumps, pipes, and equipment
-
Promote eco-friendly golf course management
-
Enhance both the aesthetics and health of the turf
-
Improve environmental quality for players and surrounding residences
Our approach delivers a cleaner, safer, and more sustainable water ecosystem, supporting healthier landscapes and long-term operational efficiency—without the use of harmful chemicals.
