"Wild pig-like animals"

Soooooo.... Hogs?

"javelinas"

Oh. No. searches but boy do they sure look like it.

If only those poor desperate club members had ar-15s with 30-round magazines, then they could stop all these feral hogs from killing their children putting green!

Javelinas are native, unlike feral hogs. https://www.nps.gov/bibe/learn/nature/javelina.htm

Javelina hides were shipped east and to Europe for gloves and hairbrushes in the late 1800's and early 1900's.
javelina have been considered a sporting game animal in Texas

Seems like there might be some cross-over options here. Come for a round of 18, pull out the 5.56 iron for dinner and a souvenir set of club covers.
Joking aside, maybe don't put massive fields of greenery in a water stressed environment. Local herbivores might just show up and eat said greenery.
