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 is in great shape.
The staff at this course is exceptional. Greens and fairways are in the best condition. Had so much fun playing it yesterday we are going back again today. Recommend this course to anyone.
Course maintenance
Greens were average , fairways were fair, rough was not cut lost a lot of balls.
Best Public Golf in Central Delaware
Best public golf course in central Delaware. Challenging old fashion tree-lined layout that requires moving the ball in both directions. Greens were in excellent condition after Spring aeration.
Good course, bad timing
Love the course layout but bad time to play. Aeration done recently and greens were shaggy and not yet rolled. Look forward to getting back up there in a month or so for some better conditions.
Very challenging course in the wind.
Very challenging course in the wind. Just aerated green, so very slow and bumpy.
nice basic course
The course is in decent shape considering it is February. The greens were a little long, so putting wasn't easy. Pace of play was good, especially for a Sunday.
A great way to start the new year
I booked a tee time for 12 o'clock on 1 January that would be a great way to start the new year. It was a wonderful afternoon cool mid 40s the course was nice for the time year. The fairways were free of leaves and the greens were smooth and sweet. The pace of play was great and the staff worked with us to allow an additional player to join our group. I enjoyed a very nice sunny afternoon look forward to many more this year
Course needs to be cleaned up
Leaves all over course. Tree branches and trees down all over. Bunkers like hitting off hardpan
Terribly Maintained Course...DONT WASTE TIME!
Having played over 75 rounds this year, I can say this was the absolute WORST course I've played. In fairness, the course may look /feel different in Spring or Summer, but it was completely unmaintained in the Fall. Course is extremely tight with large trees lining fairways, and leaves everywhere. Obvious NO attempt by grounds crew to clean leaves for many days. Multiple lost balls on fairways, even with good shots. MUST keep it straight at all times...zero room for error otherwise. Also, very sparse amenities with doublewide trailer for clubhouse, and rushed by starter to get on box, even before Tee time. Excellent deals on GolfNow, but pay the extra $5-10 and play a course that's worth the money...there's a reason it's so cheap. If cheap is for you, be prepared for a very frustrating round.
Much improved on the course, same off course amenities and staff
Hit some traffic on my way to the course and arrived 4 minutes after my tee time. The starter wanted to charge me for being late and made a big deal about it and came off pretty rude, which make sense on the weekend but not during a slower weekday. Other than that, this course has come a long way from where it has been. The fairways greens and tee boxes were all in great condition with fresh green grass. There were no bad lies in the fairway like in the past. The rough could use some improvement around the greens but is headed in the right direction.
Classic tree line course
This course is fairly challenging, trees line the fairways and greens are mostly guarded by bunkers. Makes for a round of fun and challenging shots.
Design Good, but......
Design the kind of challenge needed but course keep and conditions need improvement. Better kept the course would be one of the better test in the area.
Jeff
Got a deal on Golf Now for $15. I would possibly play again for that price. Greens were arriated so putting wasnt true. Fairways a little rough. Overall still had a good time.
Play it!
Nice course for the area and a fair price.
Rude staff
I've played this course 3 times this summer and each time I booked with golf now. Each time the staff was extremely rude.
Excellent conditions other than some spots
The course was in excellent condition for the amount of rain and heat we recently had. Besides some patchy spots in the rough and a couple of the tee boxes having crab grass, it was an enjoyable round. Played as a group of 2 in under 4 hours.
Great bang for your buck
Have played this course several times and have always enjoyed it. Conditions were great from fairway to green. Nice variety of fairway shapes and some water. Played weekday afternoon for $29 incuding cart. Can't beat that! If you want a fancy club house, beverage cart, etc, this is not the course for you. But if you want a nice round of golf for a great price, check out Garrison Lakes!
