Why are my geese digging holes?

One seasonal cause to expect in spring: a female will scrape out a shallow rounded nest in the ground and line it with grass and her own down, usually near cover, and spend a lot more time there.

That one is not a yard problem, it is a decision. Provide nesting material and a sheltered spot if you intend to hatch, or collect the eggs daily if you do not.

Why are my geese digging holes?

Fill them, mostly for ankles, yours and theirs. A goose that puts a leg down a hole can hurt itself and so can you carrying a feed bag. They will dig again somewhere, which is what rotating the grazing is for.
