Five golf courses in The Villages will be shut down ahead of a possible tropical event.
The following courses will be closed as of Sunday:
• Sandhill Executive Golf Course
• Sarasota Executive Golf Course
• Pelican Executive Golf Course
• Palmetto Executive Golf Course
• Okeechobee Executive Golf Course
The courses are being closed for the movement of water ahead of a possible tropical event next week. The movement of water provides additional room in retention ponds for potentially heavy rainfall.
Two courses – Chula Vista Executive Golf Course and Silver Lake Executive Golf Course had already closed for the movement of water.
