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.

Grand Auto Theft
Played behind 3 old guys, moving very slowly and always in rough, which was covered in leaves. This slowed things down to the extreme. My twosome hit the fairways often, but penalized by the group ahead by them picking up my longer drive 3 times. Drove cart right up to them to recover balls. They said they didn't know but my taylor-made tp5x was marked. Must have some kind of Marshall to keep things from getting out of hand like today. Fix it
Great but slow
The weather was perfect the course was in wonderful shape, and the only thing was we waited on every hole. Every hole, it was an extremely long round of golf. but then again, it was a gorgeous day and the course is in fantastic shape!
Local Gem
Course is in beautiful shape. Greens are fast and true. Sand traps need drainage but we had a lot of rain before I played. Love this course and will continue to play.
PS. Some People playing this course do not repair ball marks on the greens. On the 18th hole I repaired my mark and 4 others. I notice this on most holes and if everyone sticks to the normal “repair yours +1” mentality I am sure coarse management would appreciate it, I know I would.
Bermuda grass in North?
I guess it's cheaper to maintain, but already going dormant. I bet it's great in the hot months. I just don't care for Bermuda because I dig my irons and you need to pick the ball on it. Overall, I've always loved the bones of the course. Hoping Troon comes in and puts some $$$ into this classic track.
First time in a long time
Well worth the drive south from Wilmington. What a gem. Tee boxes, fairways and greens (the best I’ve played on this year) were immaculate. Bunkers are 90% resanded. Nice range. Cart paths are the only small issue.
Great value and 4-some done in under 4 hours on a Friday morning. Nice.
Will be back frequently now I know.
Slow on back 9
Overall condition of course is quite good. Several bunkers need attention or are under repair. #10 & 12 fairways are still not on play - hopefully this will be remedied soon. Pace of play on back 9 was extremely slow this is in part due to 10 & 11 currently playing as par 3s. Also was cart path only the day we played. It got so slow that we picked up our balls after our 2nd shots on #12 and jumped back over and played the front 9 again.
Hot day
Course continues to show improvement. Greens in excellent condition. Several bunkers being worked on. Hopefully #19 & 12 fairways will b completely playable soon. Was very hot day but there is a lot of shade on course and nice breeze blowing.
Getting Better
Played this course over a month ago - noticeable improvements. Hopefully #10 & 12 fairways will b playable soon. Keep up the good work!!
Getting better
Played this vourse a couple of months ago - condition of course has improved dramatically. #10 fairway was under repair - hole played as a par 3. Hopefully this will b remedied shortly. General comment that applies to a lot of public courses - sand bunkers have to b extremely expensive to maintain in good condition. I don’t understand why more courses don’t use “grass” bunkers. Leave the grass a very deep tough - will play as challenging as a sand bunker w/ considerably less maintained e coat
Always great
The improvements they are doing will just make this course better. Keep up the great work!
