Garden City is located on a relatively flat piece of land surrounded by suburbia.

It has traces of parkland golf in its DNA, as well as heathland and links elements.

 It definitely does not catch the eye as a great golfing site- rather each hole has it’s own subtle character and as the holes mount up you come to realise that the overall result is a pretty good course.

The starting and closing holes have some more distinct undulations, and are instant favourites.

Through the middle of the round the natural land does not have significant elevation change, but no two holes are alike.

Playing here for the first time is a voyage of discovery as the course challenges you in different ways. 

Some of the longer holes or short par 5’s use cross bunkering to taunt the insecure.

The golfer has to judge the carry more than on most courses .

Bunkering is both prolific and varied- deeper bunkers have steps down which are definitely needed!

And Garden City has inverted bunkers on a couple of holes- I have not seen that before!

At Garden City each hole needs to be evaluated on its merits.

Each is distinct in character, and together the holes make for a very interesting and challenging course

Garden City is a traditional old men’s club with a course you could play over and over.
