Gardner Golf Course

Gardner Golf Course, a welcoming public gem in Gardner, Massachusetts, offers 18 holes of classic New England golf on a municipal layout that can challenge players of all levels. Established in 1960, this par-71 course measures 6,106 yards with a 124 slope and a 68.9 rating, providing a balanced test for accuracy and strategy. The front nine eases players in with forgiving lines, while the back nine tightens up along the scenic shore of Crystal Lake, where elevation changes and read-and-run reads reward thoughtful shot-making. Small, well-protected greens demand precise approach shots and a solid short game. Amenities include a driving range and dedicated short-game area, plus on-site lessons, a flexible membership program, and a bar-and-grill clubhouse with a well-stocked pro shop. Gardner’s accessible location at 152 Eaton Street, 01440, makes it a convenient drop for weekend rounds or after-work golf in central Massachusetts. Named the 19th best course in Massachusetts in 2018 by Golf Advisor, Gardner Golf Course blends value with a scenic, lake-adjacent challenge that rewards accuracy and course management.
