Golf in Gardner

Gardner is a Worcester County city in the Nashua River watershed near the New Hampshire border, long known as the furniture manufacturing capital of America — Chair City in the region's vernacular. Two courses serve the community — Gardner Municipal Golf Course and Golf RX — in a post-industrial city where the furniture industry's legacy is visible in the mill buildings and the community's working-class identity. The surrounding north-central Worcester County terrain is hilly and wooded, with the Leominster State Forest providing a substantial open-land buffer to the south. Golf in Gardner draws from the city's population and the rural communities of the northern Worcester County upland.
