Deteriorating grass at the Chattahoochee Golf Club may be driving golfers away in the summer, but the Gainesville City Council members said they aren’t sure if they can swing the cost right now. Over the past few years, the grass has started to deteriorate around the course’s busiest months of June, July and August because of the heat, said Rodger Hogan, director of golf. The cost to replace the grass is estimated at around $178,500 to $196,500.
