Garrisons Lake Golf Club
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.

Starter is a terrible, Rude person
Showed up for a 10:45 Tee time about 15 minutes early and went to hit a couple balls at the range (approx 100' from starter) Starter got upset and stated I'm going to put someone in front of you if you’re going to hit balls. I replied that is fine but I am only hitting maybe 3 or 4 and I will be ready in plenty of time for our start, He just grunted and walked to another group and told them to go. We asked how to get a basket of balls for the driving range and he yelled at us to get them inside. Went inside and the gentleman at the counter explained to us we get a token inside and machine was outside. So we got a basket and went over to hit a couple and were ready to go at our posted tee time and had to wait for group in front of us.
We played the front 9 a little slower than the group behind us (had my son first time playing a real course) was playing so at the turn I walked up to the starter and asked " we are holding up the group behind us a little( due to new player) so we are going to grab a drink and let them go on the back ahead of us" There was nobody behind them and I couldn't even get out the full sentence and he yells NO! NO! You get your drink and get back out there. What a miserable guy to have out there starting off peoples’ supposedly relaxing day. At that point I had had enough of his rudeness and just went on our way.
The greens were slow but in OK shape. The fairways were bad and rest of course needed a lot of care. Several hits in middle of fairway that carried thru or rolled off the side could not be found due to grass, leaves, and tree limbs all over the place. We also had 2 tree branches (at least 8 feet long) fall out of trees right alongside us. Sorry but no deal on here is worth ever playing this course again. As someone previously stated spend the extra money and play somewhere that wants you there.
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.
Good course
Things are still getting green and the course was aerated or it'd be 5 stars all around.
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 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.
Great layout
The course was challenging and fun. It had a great layout and it looks like the owners are repairing and improving actively
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.
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
