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.

A little early in season
First time playing here liked the layout of the course but the Bermuda has not greened up yet. Looks like they are in the process of upgrading a lot of the course so I think by mid summer it will be nice. Bunkers need work greens were just punched and sand. Maybe just bad timing would give it a shot later in the season
Decent place
Nice course, very pleasant staff. Not to tough but not easy either. Nice challenge for an average golfer. Only drawback we had was sprinklers going off on tee box just as we were teeing off on four different holes. I understand watering for dry conditions but let people know. Maintenance guy on course was rude. Once clubhouse is built, this will be a very nice place to play and enjoy a meal.
Nice public course
The course is a nice layout, fairly easy, but can't make up its mind whether it wants to be a bermuda course or not..Greens were in Excellent shape for December.
Much better
Greens are well maintained fairways have dry grass but still playable.
There are too many tee boxes, perhaps not required for this course. But not a major issue
Overall good value for money.
Beautiful Autumn Colors
Beautiful tree lined fairways in full Autumn colors.
Nicely groomed fairways and tee boxes.
Choosing this course to join as members.
Payment at Course not what Golfnow said
I used Golfnow all the time. I always pay at the golf course. On Sunday 9/19/21, when we went pay in the golf shop, we had to pay $40 not the $35 that was advertised on Golfnow. I have played Garrison many times with my friends this year and this is the first time this happened. When I asked about it, the guy in the pro shop was very rude. We are going to stop playing at Garrison for a while. Sad because the course has been fun to play.
Nice round
Really nice round. Playing with my wife and another couple who was really patient as my wife is a new golfer and made it very comfortable for her to play. Enjoyed
Course is growing in nicely
Course staff has made huge improvements on course conditions this year. Pace of play during busy periods is really my only criticism as of late.
I also hear there are more course improvements on the way.
Great course for the money.
Diamond in the rough
Fantastic course. Great layout. Grass was perfectly cut. A few tee boxes could use a little more love and a little less sand on the greens, but all around very pleased.
