Shoot low

I only played the front from the tips, if you keep it in play you can score low. Nice fairways with forgiving first cut.

Good course

Short course, in good shape. Some of the holes are on top of each other, they tried to stuff holes in a small space.. Lots of geese poop to watch out for, some holes have drastic turns (lack of space) , blind shots and severe valleys. A good challenge.

Decent Conditions

They do a nice job taking care of the place. Not overly long, except for two 200+ par 3s, and pretty wide open. My only complaint is a lot of the cart paths need some serious maintenance. I will be back next year for the annual trek to Gardner.

Never Disappointed

You can always depend on Gardner Golf Course to be in good condition. This course gets a lot of play and it's a municipal course but they really take care of it and the greens are always great. Each 9 is a little different. Front is flatter and a bit more open and the back is older and carved out of the woods. Regardless, it's a good layout and very fair.
