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 course conditions

Played 7/6

I was anxious to play for the third time this season and was pleasantly surprised with the good course conditions. Congratulations to the grounds crew. The weather was hot and humid. My son and I played only nine holes but we will be back when the weather breaks.

Room for improvement

Holes 1-6 were in pretty rough shape -especially tee boxes and fairways. Holes 6-9 considerably better. Back 9 very good shape except for some bunkers being repaired. Got stuck behind a foursome that could hit it 50 yds off the tee yet they were playing the whites? Didn’t let us through - we were a 2-some. Do golfers just not know golf etiquette or just being obnoxious? Not a bad value for the price but other options available at the same price. Doubt I will play here again until improvements are made to front 9

Effort

Course is coming back good. Yet there needs to be more invested in upkeep while face lift is underway. I suggest more water on greens to allow for weighted rolling and then cut them. So many weird undulations inside most greens causing strange movements on a line putt. Yikes!!

Otherwise still like course.

Nice course

Nice layout, fun greens, and relaxing play. Tee times were adequate spaced. Club house is trailer style, but has drinks and items needed on the course if forgot something.

Not a great day

As we approach the 4th green, I notice 4 carts at the 5th tee box. That was frustrating to see. Unfortunately it got worse when the 7 of them rolled on down the fairway at the same time!! Was a kids tournament playing behind us, and by th 7th hole, we were all waiting on the 7some to play. The kids only played the front 9. The group never offered us to play thru. Closer to a 5 hour round than had to be.

Course improvements continue. One bad day will not stop me from coming back. Look forward to playing again this season and would recommend.
