Great Muni

Gardner does a great job for a course that gets a lot of play. Greens are always quick and very nice. Fall weather but course was as "clean" as you'll find anywhere. All the challenge you want here.

Nice course

Nice layout and is pretty challenging more so for the ladies. Only 4 holes have an advantage for the women so the difficulty rises for them. Most tees only have a 10 to 15 yd. advantage. That being said the fairways are pretty good and the greens are excellent. Friendly pro shop . Golf noow deals are exceptional.

Incredible value!

The course is in great condition. Staff was both professional and helpful. It was a perfect afternoon! (I didn't answer the "What type of golfer" question because "lousy but have fun" wasn't an option!)

Best Municipal course

Quality Control Needed

We love this course and play it frequently. Lately though slow play has become a real issue - last outing we followed two women that literally took 15 minutes for a par three hole. Then at the end of the round some drunk was blurting vile obscenity from the balcony at the bar on the 19th hole. A real shame - an otherwise beautiful course and typically wonderful experience marred by no discipline invoked by the management. We will be looking elsewhere.

Great local course

Love this course! Always in good shape and is challenging without being impossible to play. Back 9 is GOURGEOUS! Front 9 is MEH due to being near the main road and sometimes get jerks that beep at you but otherwise this course is great!
