It was ok. Paths are rough. I like electric carts because they are smoother. Lot of crabgrass.

you get what you pay for

Gas golf carts..Enough said.
The front 9 is horrendous. someone slapped a teebox and a green on an open field and said HEY GO PLAY! I would play the back 9 twice if I went again. The course is not maintained. The elderly gentlemen working the proshop, with all due respect, wasn't all there, so you have to have a lot of patience when talking to him. If the course was even slightly maintained a little better I would play again. I would highly recommend paying an extra 10$ and going somewhere else. I only paid 12$ but it wasn't worth it.

Ok, but needs improvement

The course lacks good markers for distance, the cart paths need some work and some of the Tee Box conditions are not the best.

The course was wide open and majority of greens were very nice.

I played in 2 and a half hours as very few other golfers were on the course. There were a lot of nice holes and only one green which was in bad shape. Overall it was fun and the greens putted very straight. This was a good experience.

This is the worse course I have ever played.

I could not tell the fairway from the rough, which made it hard to find your ball. Cart paths were dirt laid more than concrete. Water stations were dirty with yellowish water. Bad experience, but with friendly staff.

Country Course

I'm not the best golfer so I play here for practice. Staff in the Pro shop is not very friendly. In fact, the guy checking us in gave us a hard time about booking online and it "costing him money and wear and tear on his equipment"???
Watch out for the greens keeper as they want you to stay out of their way when they are mowing (no joke, they will literally mow right next to you).

The course has a good mix of short and long holes. A few holes provide a good challenge.

Best bang for your buck

This course has the best bang for your buck value in Kansas City in my opinion. Many holes aren't excessively long, but a lot are wooded making it necessary to hit it somewhat straight. Its never a huge traffic jam on the course, so you can always get done in less than five hours on a weekend.

Good value. Decent course

Overall a decent course. The fairways seemed a bit lacking and were also a bit difficult to identify at times, but were in overall decent condition. The course does a nice job of winding through the natural landscape but sometimes is a bit hard to follow if it is your first visit. The greens were in good shape. Plenty of contour to challenge you and almost no dead/rough patches.

great practice course

Great course for a planned trip or spur of the moment game. Weeds and dandelions eat up balls pretty easy though i recommend using a yellow or bright color ball to avoid a casualty of losing a well hit ball

Good golf course off the beaten path

This was a decent course, just off the beaten path of I-35 in Garner. The carts were good, tee boxes were fairly appropriate, course design was fun and moderately challenging, staff and weather were friendly, and it was an overall good experience. The only negatives were that the fairways were a bit long on a few holes, some of the greens had a couple of dead spots (I'd imagine from the drought conditions the past few years), and there were some seriously over-zealous Canadian geese that made a couple of shots close to the water interesting. :)

gardner course

I used to be a member. Got the heck out because the owners never work on course. Fairways are junk. Bunkers need sand and more. Greens are decent. If I had not got a good deal on golfnow I would not have played it. Had to get some swings in and needed cheap and fast.I wish the city would take it over . If they ever try to charge you 39 to play this course find another one fast. No way it is worth it.

avoid this course

The greens were in pretty good shape but the rest of the course was bad. Like playing in a farm field. Needed a hammer to pound the tee in on several of the tee boxes. The grass in the fairways was also poor and there was never a good lie. The ground doesn't release anywhere making this a good place to damage your equipment or sustain an injury. A few dead carts left on tee boxes and the condition of mine told another story. Time for this course to be shut down. Was 10.00 to play but not even worth that.

Wide open, easy course.

This course was a nice change of pace from the technically challenging courses in the area. All of the fairways are quite wide with only a few trees separating it from the adjoining holes. It definitely felt more forgiving for those with a slice or hook. The greens were very well maintained and challenging with their slopes and tiers. The fairways could use some attention, but I can't complain because of the low price.
