Gardiners Run Golf Course

Where2Golf says:
Gardiners Run Golf Course was built to provide a new home for the golf section of Chirnside Park Country Club. With their previous course squeezed into a smaller space and surrounded by housing, the Country Club members realised a long-held ambition when they moved to a more spacious and rural environment in 2014.
The new course, with its more modern and challenging design, opened for play in May 2014 under the name Gardiners Run. The course is a predominantly open parkland design, which makes use of former quarry workings. With plenty of stylish bunkering, and attractive small lakes and ponds also in play, every hole lays down its own unique challenge.
Chirnside Park Country Club retained eleven acres of the former site, which is where the club's keno lounge, Tab facilities, bowling greens, tennis courts, and fully licensed bistro and function facilities are located.

Gardiners Run takes its name from John Gardiner (1798–1878), a pastoralist and banker who took out the first grazing licence in the area. Located on the banks of the Yarra River, his 15,000 acres of cattle grazing land were known as Kangaroo Park. A Swatters Directory dating from 1849 contains a list of occupants on Crown land in the district of Port Phillip; one parcel of land established in 1837 bears the name ‘Gardiners Run.’ John Gardiner eventually sold off his assets in Australia and returned to England, but his name lives on in the name of the golf course.

| The Welcombe Hotel Spa & Golf Club: provides an excellent Stay & Play opportunity, just a mile out of town from William Shakespear's birthplace in the centre of Stratford.

Royal Ostend Golf Club: represents Belgium’s only real "beside-the-seaside" links golf course (others like Royal Zoute are located a little way inland). Here at Ostend many holes make excellent use of an impressive area of sand dunes. From the long par-4 5th through to the par-5 14th, you play across fabulously open and gently undulating golfing terrain, with few trees, fine sea views and probably a bit of North Sea wind thrown in for good measure.

| Koksijde Golf ter Hille Golf Club: on what was previously open farmland, an enjoyable and challenging links-style layout has been crafted. Perhaps the inspiration for Koksijde's new course came from a renowned Harry Colt layout that existed in the 1920s just a couple of kilometres to the west. Read more... |
