You can hide the lines by setting their grid_line_color to None.

fig.xgrid.grid_line_color = None
fig.ygrid.grid_line_color = None

Note that the documentation for styling lines in the latest release version is here: http://bokeh.pydata.org/en/latest/docs/user_guide/styling.html#lines – Steven C. Howell May 11 '17 at 14:40

An alternative way to hide the lines is:

p.xgrid.visible = False
p.ygrid.visible = False

It might be faster, but I didn't check it out.

You can write

p.grid.visible = False

which will make both xgrid and ygrid invisible at the same time.
