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.

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.
Great course
Wonderful course plenty of shade and decent amount of difficulty
Great layout
The course was challenging and fun. It had a great layout and it looks like the owners are repairing and improving actively
Great shape
Course was in great shape for this time of year. Lots of work being done in the off season. Many of the bunkers have been re-done and more trees have been taken down. The old clubhouse trailer has been removed awaiting for the new clubhouse to be built. Once that’s done the off course amenities should improve greatly.
Downed limbs
Considering it is still winter the overall condition of the course was very good. Late getting started but that was due to a frost delay. We were a 2-some behind a 4-some so obviously we are going to play more quickly. Our golfers just not aware of gold etiquette of letting a faster group to play they. It wouldn’t have mattered but by the completion of the 3rd hole the group in front of us was an entire hole behind the group in front of them. We finally had to skip the 5th hole to get in front of them. No other way to describe this other than inconsiderate.
Lots of downed limbs throughout the course especially the back 9.
