About
Garrisons Lake Golf Club, nine miles north of Dover, is a historic play centrally located to all parts of Delaware. The course is nature friendly: with tree-lined fairways and large, well bunkered greens throughout. The par-72, 7,060-yard course was recently renovated and improved, and players of all abilities will be confronted with a fair challenge. Not that there aren’t hurdles. Garrisons Lake is book-ended by two long plays: The 535-yard, par-5 first features out of bounds along the left side, and the 536-yard 17th features a challenging tee shot with trees on the right side. Garrisons Lake Golf Club also has a bustling practice range, putting green, golf shop and snack bar.

This course will only get better
I really like playing here. Yes the course needs some fairway work and the staff is doing that. We're in a drought at the moment so in due time this course will be in Excellent shape. Plus right around the corner is a Brand New Clubhouse! I always play here when I'm in the area. Only complaint is they need a Full-Time starter. It can be a "free for all" around the 1st Tee due to no starter. Trust me, you have to have a starter in order to start the pace of play.
Pretty nice course
Played again since a couple years ago. Staff were friendly, but still cramped in a trailer. Greens were good, but some fairways had bare spots. Carts ran well. Light on snacks other than crackers, etc. Cart paths are from ages ago when they were measured to be cart width + 2 inches in many places!

It was pleasant...not bad, not outstanding...currently under construction. New sod being laid at various holes, worn patches on fairways
Great day for relaxed golf. Fairways seem narrow and mature trees make you play a ton of different shots. Had a fun time!!
Good value for the money
Fairways beat up from the winter and should recover soon.
Nice course
Amenities will improve once the new clubhouse is completed. Some rough areas in the course but all in all a great day golfing.
Not great
Greens were punched not long ago, but were in decent shape. Fairways were not great, with a significant amount of dead grass areas. Tee boxes need some work. I like playing here but today was disappointing.
Have played this course for 10 years.
Generally enjoy playing here and looking forward to the new CV clubhouse and restaurant. Fairways are not in the best shape but it is just mid April and we had a heck of a winter. Just wish they would change out the carts to electric. Gas is noisy, no power and exhaust is awful.
Other than that, I'm good.

Tee boxes were hard. Fairways were brown and hard. Little to no water on entire course.
