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.

Great course
This course is local for me and is well worth visit. The new renovations on the back 9 are great. Downside, the cart paths are in dismal shape! Lots of holes!! Needs attention.
Course is Great
The course is in the best shape I’ve ever seen it. The fairways are grown in nicely but a a bit slow. The greens had been aerated in the last week or so but playable. Probably my favorite course.
This course was in Great Shape!
I really liked the course. I was surprised that there was no starter. There was a Marshall, but pace of play wasn't great.
New clubhouse is being built which will do wonders for this course. I definitely will be back!
Nice fairways
For the end of summer, I thought the course was in great shape, the greens were in great shape as well not too many ball marks they rolled pretty true. It’ll be nice when I get the new clubhouse finished. Because of the hearing about something that has.
Awesome Gem.
I would like to thank the staff for their Professionalism While the Course and holes were being repaired they kept us upgraded on the progress. Played today I and my company were very Impressed.
Good value
Greens and fairways in good condition. Pace of play was good.
Much improvement
The last time I played here was in July. The fairway was under repair and the condition wasn’t good, but yesterday it was much better—the course’s condition was great. I was pretty impressed.
Good value
Course is in good shape with wide fairways. The pin placements were brutal with almost everyone on the front nine directly behind a bunker. There is no ranger so pace can be slow. Good value for the money.
Run Down
Cart barely worked, cart paths were eroded, rough on tree lined course was too high - lost 2 balls when hit off line in trees because you couldn’t see the ball unless you stepped on it. Pace of play was terrible and no ranger to move groups that took more than 20 minutes a hole. No water on course when 88 degrees outside. Greens were incredibly slow.
Garrison Lake
Today was the first time I had played Garrison Lake in more than 28 years. I had heard many horror stories about the course and what it had become. glad i believe nothing and half of what i see...lol I had planned on playing here earlier in the year but talking to the proshop they had told me they were working on the back and that it was playing as an executive course until August 1st.. The back is open now and kudos to them and their staff for the awesome work they did. The greens and fairways are in the best shape i had ever seen them in. the rough was a little tall, but fairly easy to get out of. They are building the new proshop and clubhouse right now, today they were setting the roof truss. if you haven't played this course in a while you should definitely give them another chance, you wont be disappointed. Say hello to Steve the head pro after your round and let them know what you think of the course. Its good for them to hear about how nice the course is instead of hearing about how bad it is, it makes a difference people! Again thanks for a good day on the course and i look forward to the clubhouse opening soon.
Golf course
