Great value

Always a good test.

The last 3 holes are will have you climbing some good hills. Greens roll true and not crazy fast.

Dried out, greens are good.

The course is dry, lots of burned out areas. Greens are good, rolling faster in the front 9. Slow play on the front 9, several groups dropped out and made the back play at a good pace. For this time of year it is ok given the lack of rain.

Front is better than the back!

The back has some extreme hills no matter where you land your lie is going to suck. More rocks, roots and bare spots on the back as well. Greens are very nice and take some getting used to. The layout is decent. I traveled an hour to play it, probably won't play it again.

Gardner municipal

It is fun to play for a municipal. The staff were very friendly and knowledgeable. The course had some rough area especially around the greens. Overall, love the layout and course.

Challenging Golf

This course is a true New England gem in the tradition of Donald Ross and Geoffrey Cornish. The front nine is a friendly open course with a nice design with some hilly terrain. You can definitely score low here. The back nine is a testament to a true New England “Billy Goat” course with steep hills and side hill lies it will test your skills. The slope from the whites on the back nine is 128 but I think it plays to the 130 range. The greens are in good shape as well as the tees and most fairways. This is a very pleasant course built in the woods with no homes abutting the fairways. I will definitely play it again soon.
