Protect the course. Protect the creek. Protect the wildlife.
Tarpon Woods is more than a golf course. It is a green neighborhood landmark, a flood-sensitive open-space system, and a habitat corridor connected to Brooker Creek. Residents are fighting to prevent a staged mitigation-bank and redevelopment path from permanently changing the community before the full impacts are honestly reviewed.
Three useful things you can do today

Document water depth, locations, dates, photos, drainage issues, and Brooker Creek context.
Report FloodingFeatured action
Preserve the existing course
Keep the property in its long-standing golf course use and resist incompatible redevelopment, closure, rezoning, or mitigation-bank conversion.
Expose the whole plan
Require the mitigation-bank proposal, earthwork, density-transfer concern, and possible housing impacts to be reviewed together instead of in fragments.
Protect water and wildlife
Document flooding, Brooker Creek context, threatened and protected species, habitat use, and resident impacts before irreversible work begins.
Why residents are organized
A mitigation-bank permit should not become a back door to a housing conversion.
Residents are asking for transparent, unified public review because the same land that holds the existing course also holds ponds, drainage function, wildlife movement, mature trees, and neighborhood value. The fight is about preserving the course and making sure no staged permit process hides the real-world outcome.
Evidence timeline
A quick public-facing timeline helps residents see how the fight has unfolded and why unified review matters.
