Gardner Golf Course

Great course for the money, not a resort course but a good course with a good variety of challenges. A very casual environment .

Took my wife there to play on our Anniversary. Had a great time fairways and greens in great shape considering the drought. The greens are very fast and pin placements were very challenging at times. Group ahead of us hit a hole in one on a blind shot par 4 we took there picture for them and reminded them that it is tradition to buy drinks and that we would meet them after our round for some but they took off!!!!

I was disappointed with this course. The fairways are extremely rough and in some areas there is actual gravel. The cart paths are pathetic and 40% of the cart paths are gravel / dirt. I will not be back. On Golfnow I could have booked a tee time at the same time on the same day at Deer Creek in Leawood for $1 cheaper.

Great course. Has easy to challenging hole layouts. Power shots not always your friend. Very enjoyable . Played in under 4.5 hours even when letting a couple singles play thru. Greens put true and no variance from green to green as far as speed.

The course is not a highly maintained course, but for the cost it is a nice little course to play and play quickly.

Friendly staff and clean facilities. Driving range is nice.

I play at least once every couple of weeks and the course seems to be in better shape each time I go out.

Very nice coarse, challenging. the greens are blind from several of the Tee boxes.

With just a little more attention this course could be a great place to have an outing. For the price I enjoyed my self and the staff was excellent.. I will play this course again..

Thanks

Fairways and rough were a little shaggy, greens were also shaggy and not in the best shape. Greens have dimples all over so it's impossible to have a consistent put which gets frustrating. Overall though its cheap so that's what I expected.

Got to play the back nine for the 1st time and really enjoyed it! Course was maintained great!

The course overall needs some work , but you can see they are in the process of doing that. The greens are good and fairways don't get caught in the ruff, the staff was friendly and players let you play through. The cart path are mostly rock. But overall I would play again nice course .

The grounds need serious attention at this course. The gravel cart paths are unusal for the area but kind of a neat quirk. My issue is the grass. This is the first time I have ever lost a ball in the fairway. My friends and I hit many balls in play that were simply impossible to locate due to the grass which is over the ankles in the "fringe" and just completely neglected elsewhere. the greens were basically sand packed. This course has beautiful landscape and layout it is just sadly poorly maintained. The staff is very friendly. I hope they get it together because this course could be one of the hidden gems in the area if maintained.

Front nine was closed, so we looped the back twice. Course still in rough condition, and the cart path is a mix of broken asphault, large rocks, and gravel making for a pretty bumpy ride (beer everywhere).

The people at the course were very nice, both the staff and others playing. My only real complaint is that there were no signs indicating which hole is which. I'm sure if you play there more than a few times, it isnt't an issue. But signs help a player new to the course. Also, note that the first hole is next to the driving range. If your ball goes far right on the drive, you might as well hit again. You'll never find your ball among those on the range. Otherwise, I had a great afternoon on the course. Good value. Thanks!

The length of course makes playing fun. The holes are not too long as to lose track of your play. The shorter holes are not too short as to make playing too easy.

Fun golf course. A good mix of conditions requiring some thought of shot shape.

While not the longest or most difficult track in the area, this is a great value if you want to play a quick round. Other golfers and the staff have been very courteous to a single and you can just play as fast as you like. There are some easier holes, but there are enough elevation changes to make some of the others into some good tests.

I am a 15 handicap and wanted to play a round of golf with my brother who maybe plays once a year. The staff at Gardner Golf Course was great and very helpful. First let me preference this review that this is not a championship course. This is a economical country course for those who want a good but inexpensive round of golf. The course was in good conditions for a lower $$ course. The only thing I could really complain about was the condition of the cart paths, they were a beat up, but that doesn’t impact the golf itself. The greens were in very good condition and putted consistently with good speed (normally low $$ courses don’t give you quality greens, these greens were consistent with higher $$ courses). The fairways and rough were kept at a good length, there was nothing special about the type of grass for the fairway, it was just mowed lawn grass. However, the fairways and the rough played fine. The course itself is a fairly simple layout, but still gives you some challenging shots. The greens are small compared to championship courses, so you will be tested to have good iron play. The course is well laid out in that doglegs and water hazards make you choose you club and the fairways are wide enough for beginners but not so wide that you can go crazy with your drives. The length is a little short for long hitters (I used a lot of fairway woods off the tee for position rather than driver for length). Overall this course played perfect for what we were looking for… low cost, but good value.

Fairways are not in best shape, understandable after this super dry period. Greens however are in great shape.
