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.

Good course
Was fun course and staff was very friendly. Only snack bar available, but was a good time.
this course was in great shape
good greens and excellent fairways..only made good course conditions as the sand traps were in bad shape...clay and not much sand..it was like dirt with rocks and could not get sand wedge under to make good shot...otherwise it is in great shape especially the greens...pure rolls...the rough was high and thick...
Better than Expected
Play there one other time and wasnt really impress.
However, I have to say, this time course was very nice.
Green were fast and true.
Par 2 long and difficult.
Bunkers...Do not go in them, never seen bunkers edged like that. Tree Lined, better keep it play to score. But under trees was playable.
I would play this course again for sure.
Club House Needs to torn down and re-built, then this place would really have it all, also get rid of those Gas Carts.
A Favorite of Mine
Always fun and challenging to play Garrison Lake. The tree lined fairways challenge you to keep the ball out of the trees. If you can manage to stay out of the trees, the opportunity to shoot a good score exists. The tees, fairways, and greens were in good condition, however many bunkers were in need of work.
Course ranger needed
Great course, and in great shape. The only thing this course sorely needs is a ranger to keep play moving even on weekdays. Our foursome was behind a threesome and their play was extremely slow. That group made no effort to let us play through and a course ranger would have fixed that issue. Please give serious consideration to keeping a ranger in a cart and constantly moving and keeping slow play moving. Thank you
Excellent condition
Weather was fantastic. . Course condition was excellent.
Tight but worth the drive
Course was in good shape. Tight but fair. Greens were fast with a lot of movement but the reads were true. No cart service or clubhouse.
Garrisons Lake - Nice course nice value
This is a nice course. It's long and presents many challenges. It's also a great value
Good
Course was is good condition and more challenging then expected
Nice round of golf
We went out during the week and had a very nice day. Good conditions. Narrow fairways made it very challenging. Starter was very friendly. Thank you.

Since I read course had renovations done to it, I didn't notice any improvements. I had booked a 10:09 tee time for 2 and when I checked the time and asked why I wasn't on the tee box, I was told the other twosome wasn't here yet, I asked what's that have to do with me, and they send the 10:27 tee time out. I'm there, if someone else is late, that's the courses' problem not mine. Improvements need to be made for me to recommend this place to others.
Greens were excellent
Course in great shape, rained for two days prior to round. Only one hole cart path only. Greens were great.
We will be back
Played 10/10 with my wife. Enjoyable course for my wife from front tees. I am an 11 and a senior. I played from the white tees. I might move to blue if I play again as some of the shorter holes seemed very tight from the white tees. Course we in great shape. The greens had been fertilized but rolled real nice. Almost no ball marks. Fairways and tees were also in great shape. We drove down from Delco Co. PA. It was about 1 hr 15 min ride but wE will be back soon.
Good course for the money
they just had the greens aerated, one of the greens on par 3 by the road on the front could be better. Drove about an hour to get there, not sure I would travel that far again for it but for the price I got it at, $22.00, I would play again. The course was really tight, couldnt tell sometimes if the group in front of me was on my hole or the other.
