First Time Playing

First time playing this course and I was very surprised how nice this track is. Course was in excellent shape, greens rolled true, fairways in nice shape. Not the longest course but challenging enough to keep it interesting. I'll definitely play this track again!

Never disappointed

Have played Gardner CC a dozen times in the past two years and its always in good shape. Fridays round featured several trips into freshly groomed traps, like hitting from the sugar bowl. Leaves and acorns are coming soon tho.

Central Mass Gem

The golf course is in great condition. The rough is challenging, fairways are generous, greens are in good shape and the slope on the back nine really makes you think before hitting second shots. So much fun. The Fall in New England is a treat. The weather is refreshing and the trees change into spectacular colors. This golf course is situated along the famed Mohawk Trail. Can't get better than that.

Municipal Golf Course

Considering this course is a Municipal course, it was in outstanding condition! For the amount of play that it gets, the tee boxes, fairways and greens were all in outstanding condition!! The round cost me $19.00 which included 18 holes with a cart....tremendous deal and would recommend it enthusiastically!

Great Tees &'Greens

This would have been a great day the tees and greens were in good shape the course overall was in excellent shape but unexpected rain moved ion on the 6th and 16th holes .Initially the play started out slow but picked up after the 4th hole. It was a great value although we did leave after the 16th hole due to rain and wind. We did not visit the 19th hole. The staff at check in was extremely

Pleasant. I would definitely would recommend this course for play.

inexpensive, but a lousy course with really misery staff

I made the mistake of trying to save some cash. Do not repeat my mistake. A dollar deposit for cart key deposit??? Then not even returned!?!? Side sloped fairways that penalize good shots. Grass so high on some fairways that you cannot find your ball, even when hit right down the center. REALLY slow service at the restaurant. Avoid.
