Garrisons Lake Golf Club
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 but couple use some improvements
I love this course as it’s close to my house and relatively a great course. I personally think that the cart paths need to be fixed because they are awful, there needs to be some sort of concession stand that I can get some basic food from (burgers, hotdogs etc)
Make these small improvements and it will bring in new revenue
Dodged sprinklers on the back nine....
I enjoy playing Garrison's at least once a week and like the changes completed over the past year or so. Wednesday was unusually hot and we are in the middle of a mini draught so I can appreciate the work the grounds crew was doing to keep the course and greens watered. However, it seemed I spent the majority of the back nine dodging active sprinklers on tee boxes, in fairways and around the greens. I was walking the course and literally had to duck around the water sprays, hit my ball and duck back out before the spray came back around. It also seemed that the grounds crew was watering each green on the next hole, which I had to wait 5-10 minutes for the crew to finish watering the greens to hit my approach shot while simultaneously ducking the sprinklers in the fairway. This exercise made the back nine less than enjoyable.
Ranger Mike did a great job getting slow twosome moving quicker.

Course is getting worked on! But it is coming together. Greens are in great shape. Bunkers need some attention and maintaining weeds in the fairways are getting better. This can be a very nice course as long as they keep heading on its current path. Looking forward playing it again.
Garrisons Lake Golf
Course is coming together after years of no money put into it. Fun course but no kitchen and no alcohol sold. Will play again.
Course is in very good shape
Kudos to the staff for all of the effort that they have put into upgrading the course.
meh
greens have rebounded from severe aeration and rolled good, but still a bit fuzzy. Still don't understand WHY there is sand in only 5 or 6 traps on entire course?? The rest are concrete mix w/ plenty of stones and dirt! Is there a shortage of sand to go around? Please fix Troon Golf.
Stable conditions
I have played here many times, very seldom are the conditions not great. No exception today, fairways and tee boxes in good shape. The greens are very good and roll exceptionally well. Enjoyable round and although I played as a solo it only took me 2-1/2 hours to finish. Looking forward to playing there again.
Horrible conditions
Today I had booked a tee time through golf now at 10:20 for myself and 3 others. Basic maintenance, the greens were covered with winged samaras seeds that should have been blown off the greens before the day starts. The roughs were ankle deep in places, the group had a cart that was in poor condition, and periodically stopped for no reason. Each member of the group lost at least one ball in deep rough, this is unacceptable when looking for balls, they should be easily spotted. Due to this it caused holding of play for the group. Several bunkers were being reconditioned and that is understandable but added to the lackluster day.
Not worth the Money
It appears that maybe at some point and time this was a beautiful course , now hmmm no. Between the branches, leaves and dandelions I was just disappointed in the conditions of the course. Not worth the money or the drive.
Good course
Things are still getting green and the course was aerated or it'd be 5 stars all around.
Not bad course for the price
The course is in average condition, the sand traps could use a little help. There doesn't seem to be a dress code as jeans and tee shirts were common on the course. Golf carts were in need of replacement (seats were taped together). All in all we would play the course again for the price. Some nice water holes and the course was quiet too.
u said greens??
absolutely terrible greens. plugged,sanded, and not rolled or cut. Like playing on Velcro w/ sand. (heavy) sand. ball would not roll straight, wiggled like my college girlfriends.
