GAINESVILLE - The City of Gainesville is closing Chattahoochee Golf Course on Mondays starting immediately because of the excessive summer heat. Golf Course Director Rodger Hogan said in a press release that "the investment in the building of bent grass greens is considerable and to lose them to heat would be devastating and costly to replace.

“We have experienced more than 40 days of temperatures over 90 degrees and in some cases over 100 degrees. We posted signs around the clubhouse today announcing that the course will be closed on Mondays beginning August 2 in order to give the greens a day to rest. We appreciate our customers understanding the precautionary measures we are taking to keep Chattahoochee in the best condition possible,” Hogan said.
