The remaining golf course at Diablo Grande will close in mid-October, homeowners and residents in the upscale community were recently advised.

A notice dated Sept. 20 announced what it termed a “temporary closure” of the ranch course effective Oct. 19.

The notice to residents cited financial challenges affiliated with operating the golf course. It did not reference future plans by owner World International, which purchased the Diablo Grande development about a decade ago after the original owners declared bankruptcy.

The development at one point had two acclaimed courses - the Ranch and the prestigious Legends Course, which was designed by golfing icons Jack Nicklaus and Gene Sarazen.

The Legends Course, opened in 1998, was closed in 2014, leaving only the Ranch Course in the Diablo Grande development.
