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.

Improvement in the works
Course has come a long way in recent years. Course was in very good condition for a February round. Trees are in the process of being removed from certain areas of the course. Looking forward to playing more there when the weather breaks. Hopefully a new clubhouse is in the near future. Excellent value for the rate paid.
Best greens in the State.
Garrison is in phenomenal shape, greens are perfect!!
Good course for the money
I will definitely recommend this course to a friend. Reasonable pricing course was in pretty good shape.
Great overall experience
Nice little putting green and reasonably priced practice range. Had I believe six tees to choose from, all in nice condition. Fairways were all in nice condition especially considering the lack of rainfall recently. Many other courses I’ve played since this drought are not even close in condition. Greens were fast and undulating, a test for any player. Fairways were somewhat narrow as the majority had at least a slight to full dogleg to them. They offer some nice deals on tee times. Employees were nice. Great overall experience! Only down fall was that the pro shop was a trailer with no bar or restaurant that I saw, but I never stick around anyhow so no biggie to me.
Love this course
Super fun layout, staff is super friendly, very nice driving range. No complaints.
Good local course
I had good time here. Tee box, fairway, and green all maintain very good condition. Only car path need to be repaved. Overall good experience here.
Improvements
The place has always been a god layout. Easy to walk, short distances between green and next tee box. Since its renovations/reopening it has continued to improve. As of now the fairways are good, the greens roll true and tee boxes well maintained. The staff does a great job of keeping the place in great condition and it is always a good time playing there.

Thank you for your review Robosox. I wanted to clarify the condition of the course. We have Bermuda grass on most of the fairways, some of the collars and a mixture of Bermuda grass and Zoysia Grass around the bunkers. The grass loves the heat but goes dormant in the winter causing it to turn yellow. The grass is fine, it's not dirt, just yellow. It will start to wake up soon but be just as green as ever. We'd love to see you back.
