Rating 72.3

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.

Nice Round

Found this course last minute and turned out to be. A good find.

Range spills over onto the first hole - slightly annoying with balls everywhere on the left.

Some rough spots in the fairways but given the dry weather they have done a good job keeping them green.

The greens were in good shape, rolled smoothly but a little slow. No amazing “wow” type holes but nice layout.

Not a good day

Checked in, talked to the stater, told me I was on the tee, went to the car, picked my gear, came back, and there’s another group teeing off. Player playing with us said sounded like they came off the back nine when one of the guys asked what did you get on the last hole. From the fourth hole on, almost a ten minute wait on each tee box for the rest of the round.Called into the pro shop on the 11th, said someone would be out, no one came, called again 2 holes later, different person, they someone be out, someone did come out, but just drove through. My quest the starter let friends, so I would be cautious when going there.

Ownership is Horrible

The Owner Pat was a pain when we showed up. Hackled my group on the tee box. Making comments after we hit our tee shot. Give my cart partner a hard time for no renewing his membership at a public course. Course conditions were bad. Ball marks all over the green. Sand traps full of rocks. Pace of play was horrible. Took almost 5 hours to play 18 with 3

Scratch golfers. Just a complete horrible round and course owner Pat shouldn’t be an owner of anything.

Course is nice, cant say the same for the owner…

I think that the course is nice and a good value, however while we were on the practice green, someone who we were told was the owner came up to us with a terrible attitude yelling at us to open our cooler in the back of the cart. I was so shocked by his attitude (confused and not knowing we had done anything wrong at the time) that I did react poorly and try to shy away from the truth, gathering from his tone that we weren’t supposed to bring our own drinks…

After returning our drinks to our car I went back to him and just mentioned that I thought he had reacted quite strongly and was being rude to guests of his course that he he should want to ensure are having a nice time at which point he yelled “If you don’t like how I run my course, leave… “ not a huge deal but it definitely left a sour taste in my mouth.

In the end, I was in the wrong (without knowing it at first) but I felt like he blew the situation out of proportion and treated us very poorly.

Nice golf course

Frog Hollow is a nice golf course, especially for the rate I paid on GolfNow. The greens are in pretty good shape and the overall layout is nice. If I had one complaint it would be the rough could be cut a little shorter, it hard to find your ball just off the fairways.

Good for play with family

This course is good to play with family. Red tee setting is quite good for women players.

Staffs are friendly and course layout is nice. The course condition is usually good even after the rain.

Great Layout in Great Shape!

I played this course yesterday (7/8/2022), the course is in very good shape which reflects the hard work that Patrick and his staff have put in.

I really like the layout of this course, even though I don’t typically play it very well (scored 88 yesterday). There are dangers lurking on many of the holes, sometimes water, sometimes the tall fescue, and sometimes the strategic mounding.

The greens were a little slow for my liking, but understandable considering all the rain in the area recently.

Now, only if people can be better trained to repair ball marks! I repaired at least 4 on every green, drives me crazy!

First time out this season...

First time out this season and it was a great choice. We had a foursome play and the only thing that felt like it fell short was the tee times were at 10min and probably could have been around 15 min to keep things moving a little smoother. Besides that, the course was in great shape and amenities like a cooler on the cart and a USB charger were a bonus. I really enjoyed the round and plan to return again!!

Solid experience

Good layout and greens in very good condition. We were a twosome and five some somehow formed in front of us. Even if they are good, local golfers, it still takes time for these players. We simply skipped a hole and went around them after waiting.

Redemption

This course had been in terrible condition after their irrigation system had been taken out by a lightening strike several years ago. Based on that issue....the course reviews had tanked. Yesterday was the first time that I had played FH since those issues. . The course is now in great shape, the greens roll true and the fairways are again lush and green. Cudos to the staff for pulling off an amazing course rebirth. There are some really challenging holes......with greens that are heavily contoured . Only issue was slow pace of play....on a Monday. Highly recommend giving this course another shot if like many of us golfers in the area, you had stayed away based on the past condition problems. It's definitely back.

Second time this year

The course has greened up nicely. Still a few boxes need love, but 85-90% tee to green . Completely back from past troubles. Played on a very windy day with gusts in the 30s. Finally at least oared the par 4 15th. ALWAYS seem to mess that on up. Not on this day..

Always worth playing with a hot deal!!!
