Golf in Gainesville
The golf answer in Gainesville splits between the public courses inside the city and the clubs around the lake: Chicopee Woods Golf Course on the Atlanta Highway side, Chattahoochee Golf Club on the north side near the lake, and the private country club in between. A handful of quality clubs sit a short drive around the Lanier shore for members and guests.
Every course below is real and open, verified by name and location. Tee times, rates, and membership rules change, so the course is the source for the current number.
