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.

Getting better

Played about a month ago, and I noticed improvements today. Tee boxes are better, so are some bunkers. Greens are “nice” right now. Was a little damp from recent weather, but I no longer will avoid frog hollow. Can’t wait till next year, this place should be fabulous by then. Fingers crossed

Coming back nicely

I last played here about a year ago and the course was in bad shape. I was pleasantly surprised to find the fairways and greens in much better condition. It’s a really good layout so if conditions continue to get better it would be a fun go to course for players of all levels.

Not friendly to the first guest. Moreover, we do not keep this when we need to distance ourselves from the corona 19 infection relationship. The first is the one you don't know and two people on the same card. I think this is very dangerous for COVID-19 infection. And it was the most uncomfortable day because the game was too late.

Frog Hollow

This course was in good condition. However, 13,15,&17 was cart path only due to saturation from rain the day prior to our round. There where other low spots on a few

holes with standing water. This did not play a factor in my round. I just avoided them.

Slooooooooow

Greens and fairways are in great shape. Most bunkers have more gravel than sand. Pace of play is awful; no monitoring by staff. Good layout, Friendly and helpful staff.

Great rebound

I played this course last year both before and after the conditions had deteriorated from a lack of water due to a lightning strike on their equipment. The course is in great shape and I commend those involved for the huge job they had to do to get it that way.

It’s made a strong comeback

Considering everything that happened With the irrigation failure last year, this course is definitely on the right track. Played after a night of heavy rain so fairways were very soggy and bunkers unplayable. Tee boxes were getting chewed up As were the greens, but this late in the season, can’t really blame them. I’m glad they’ve put in the work to get it back to decent playing standards. If they continue to put the TLC over the offseason, this course should be in real good shape next year.

Slow, slow,slow

Took almost 5 hours. 1 foursome backed everyone up. No ranger to be found. Course Just aerated, could live with bumpiness, if didn’t have to wait on every hole. Course was mushy In a lot of places. Fun layout.

Slow as you go

The pace was extremely slow. The two young men in front of us went very slowly & kept searching for lost balls. When they got to a water hole, they spent an inordinate amount of time receiving balls from the water. They apparently do not know golf etiquette. They should have Marshall’s going around to help with the pace of play.

Fun course to play

I have played this course since early spring 4 or 5 times. Overall fun course to play. Forgiving fairways mean you do not lose many balls. Course is in good shape and compared to courses above the canal - it is a great value for what you get. I was playing rounds in about 3 hours in the spring but the pace has slowed down to about 4 to 4.5 hours on a weekend in the summer. Probably due to cart path only the last 3 times I played the course. The course drainage seems to be an issue so any heavy rain during the week results in cart path only on the weekend and slower rounds. Despite that I definitely rate this course high and recommend play

Will be back for price I paid.

Overall, the course price was a great deal for what you received in return. Staff was professional, and friendly for the most part. The course was in good shape and the pace of play was above average. I would recommend this course to anyone looking to get a round of 18 in for under $30 on the weekend.

Still holding up for end of the season, sand on some tee boxes but still playable. We’ll play it until we need both gloves. Great value!!
