Frog Hollow Golf Club in Middletown boasts the title of "best public golf course" in Delaware. The course has a links-style layout that is challenging but still player-friendly enough to appeal to beginners, seniors, and juniors. The layout is wide open and quite forgiving but there are still plenty of hazards with which to contend. There are more than 50 strategically placed bunkers throughout the golf course. Their thoughtful placement makes up the bulk of the layout's challenges. There are ponds that come into play on six holes as well as tall native grasses that appear along the fairways and greens. The wind is often a factor on the course too and will test your accuracy even further. Frog Hollow Golf Club's par 3s and par 5s are manageable but the par 4s will test even the best players.

Avoid this course like the plague

This is a course I will not be visiting any time soon and would not recommend it to anyone. If you want to spend 6 hours on the course, go for it. I had an 11:30am tee time but did not tee off until 12:15pm. I was told it was due to a frost delay but later learnt otherwise. Once we started, the wait on every hole was agonizing. Addional to our foursome, there were at least 2 other foursomes (more on some holes) waiting to tee off on every hole. Clearly the course was double booked. Many got frustrated and left. I also left at 3:45pm, 4hrs & 15 minutes into my round, at hole 11. This was my worst experience on a golf course ever and the aftertaste will take a while to wash off my mouth

Great day on the golf course

Beautiful 65* day in November. Course had recently aerated the greens so there were a bit bumpy. Fairways were decent for this time of year; pace of play was very good for a 9:30 tee time. Luch after the rounds was very good.

Superb value

The value for this cost can not be beat. The bar/pub feels like a real bar/restaurant, and the food looked great. Course us a real fun links style layout within a residential neighborhood. Beginner friendly.

FOUR!

This a fun course, but we caught them while they were working on the back nine so we had to play the front nine twice. But it something that must be done to keep the course in good condition. The greens, even being serviced with aeration and sanding were still good to put and the roll was ant as bad as you’d think.

Challenging but fun course!

Have played this course several times over the past 3 years. Early on their automated sprinkler system was hit by lightning and it had a negative impact on not only the fairways but greens as well. Since then the irrigation system has been repaired and course management has improved significantly and is ready for play.
Highly recommend trying it out and take advantage of their driving range, putting practice area and at the end of the day, their Pub.

Gets better

The course is in fabulous shape and a huge kudos to the greenkeeper and his obviously talented crew.
I had a blast playing here and with the conditions of the course getting better. The never straight putts on these greens is a blast
Go and enjoy the course.

Very nice layout. Tees, fairways, and greens were in very good shape. The rough was a little high and weedy so it made it difficult to find the ball at times. Overall, very nice course and would definitely play again.
