Rating 73.7

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 overall experience

Nice little putting green and reasonably priced practice range. Had I believe six tees to choose from, all in nice condition. Fairways were all in nice condition especially considering the lack of rainfall recently. Many other courses I’ve played since this drought are not even close in condition. Greens were fast and undulating, a test for any player. Fairways were somewhat narrow as the majority had at least a slight to full dogleg to them. They offer some nice deals on tee times. Employees were nice. Great overall experience! Only down fall was that the pro shop was a trailer with no bar or restaurant that I saw, but I never stick around anyhow so no biggie to me.

Improvements

The place has always been a god layout. Easy to walk, short distances between green and next tee box. Since its renovations/reopening it has continued to improve. As of now the fairways are good, the greens roll true and tee boxes well maintained. The staff does a great job of keeping the place in great condition and it is always a good time playing there.

Gumba Golf Review

My Cousins and I play Garrisons at least 1x a week and sometimes more. The transformation of this course is incredible and all the hard work is paying off. The fairways used to be sparse and the greens bumpy and slow. The course staff have done a great job and it shows. I love playing this course. It does get a little slow at times but when they have a Ranger on duty he does a good job getting groups moving…

It looks like they have purchased a new tractor with a blower and they are keeping the fairways clear of leaves that will soon be an issue finding your ball and slowing pace.

Hit em straight!!!

Sunday pm round

We were a foursome that was held up by a twosome from hole 3 until hole 18. They never let us through. It was an older gentleman and a young teenage girl.
