FACILITIES
Gainesville High School Golf teams
enjoy the very best facilities of any high school team in the state of
Georgia. GHS is the only high school in Georgia to feature an
on-campus indoor practice area with video and
short-game capabilities, and a state-of-the-art indoor strength and
conditioning area. Furthermore, an on-campus short game facility
is currently being designed.
Chattahoochee
Golf Course has been the home of the storied Red Elephant Golf Program since 1960.
In 2006, Chattahoochee Golf Course underwent a 2.8 million dollar
renovation that was completed in December, 2006. Course Crafters and
architect Kevin Hargrave teamed up to renovate this classic Robert Trent
Jones Sr. designed layout. The renovation consists of twenty new green
complexes, new tee complexes, extensive drainage, concrete cart paths,
new irrigation pump station, indoor teaching facility, and many other
projects to update the fifty-year old facility.
After a year absence, the Red Elephants are
proud to call Chattahoochee Golf Club home once again.
Other Courses Used By the Red Elephants:
Chicopee Woods Golf Course
Chateau Elan Golf Club
Chestatee Golf Club
HERB VALENTINE ATHLETIC CENTER
The
Herb Valentine Athletic Center (2006) is a 11,430 square feet athletic center built adjacent to the existing
field house. The facility includes a new state-of-the-art weight
training area and an interior turf exercise space for agility and speed
training. The center allows for advanced strength, flexibility,
and conditioning for the GHS Men's Golf Team. The area also houses
an indoor golf section that allows for indoor practice for all areas of
the game, including full swing, short game, and putting. Head
Coach Bryson Worley is trained in the JC Video golf video software and
the TOMI putting software, and
utilizes this advanced technology in conjunction with the indoor golf
area.
