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.

THANK YOU STAFF AND RANGER !!!

This could be a long review, stay with me.

Years ago they switched the front and back 9s to stop players from coming off 18 and going back on 10. In my opinion, that really messed up the flow of the course. Holes 13 - 18 are the toughest stretch of finishing holes around! So glad they changed it back a couple years ago.

Today we came around the turn and noticed 2 new people in front of us. So now we had to wait for them to get to the green before teeing off ourselves. When we got to the par 5 11th, they were waiting in the fairway again!! We called the pro shop and they sent the ranger out just as we were coming off the tee. We let him know it was us that called and thanked him repeatedly for the fast service. He went to the green and took them off the course. Friggin AWESOME!! That is the 4th star.

The course is still a bit rough. Don’t believe previous reviews of bunkers. Some are good, most are ok and up

To you to play out of if you want to try. 20%-25% are terrible. Tee boxes are 70-30 poor with lots of sand. They had some insane pin positions today, and the greens were quick. Rough in spots but played well. Played 9 holes coming out of COVID restrictions and noticed improvements. Again, the finishing stretch of holes here are great. Over all a very solid layout. I have been playing here 15 years or so and know how good this place has been and can be. Thank you again staff and keep working hard to get frog hollow back to 4 plus stars like I remember.

We finished in four hours but always waiting for a very slow group of three ahead of us

The sand bunkers were deplorable and appeared untouched for quite a while

The greens were in great shape

The fairways were good shape considering all the rain this area has had

Tee boxes were passable

Overall a very good challenge placing the ball on your shots.

I would return because I enjoyed the course and good value for low cost

Hello, thank you for reviewing the course. We apologize for the delay of play during your round. This is by no means the standard we strive to achieve. With an uncharacteristically full day, we work hard to accommodate everyone who visits our course and allow our guest the chance to complete their rounds. With that in mind, we are working to best control pace and allow everyone to finish in a reasonable amount of time. We will continue to look for ways to improve. Thank you for playing Frog Hollow Golf Club. We hope to see you again soon.

Improving conditions- Restaurant very good

Over the last year or so, the course has seen better days. The last round I played there in April there were still temporary greens and I did not think the course would ever come around. Well it is. The bunkers and rough areas have a lot of work needed but the tee to green is pretty good. If you asked me if I'd play there again after the round before I'd have told you no. Glad I took a chance and played the last round there to change my mind. I hope they continue to make good strides in making this an outstanding option in the region. I did have to say that the restaurant (food and service) was on point. Great grilled chicken sandwich and cold beer after a hot day sealed the deal for me. Ill be back.

Hard course to review

This course has some very challenging holes, but being surrounded by housing takes away from much of that, the morning I played had wet conditions and the courses appearance told me it had previous water issues from recent rain storms, many brown spots in fairways and low areas where water didn't drain well. Greens in good condition considering recent weather, will play again under drier days.

Angry Starter - Will not go back

Course was in decent condition but has some patchy areas. A few greens need some work. The reason I will not be back to Frog Hollow was the insanely rude starter. I’ve played there three times this year and the bozo starter was part of two of my experiences.

The first time I arrived 15mins before my tee time. I checked in and was at the tee box right on time. The starter gave me all sorts of grief for not being there “early:”

Today was worse. I was on pace to arrive early (I did not want to deal with captain smiles again) but major storms had closed several main roads to the course. After 20mins of detours I still arrived 10mins BEFORE my scheduled tee time and my buddy had checked us in. When I arrived, the starter was in the parking lot at my friends car berating him as he loaded his cart. We still made our tee time but the starter was still lecturing me about being on time. What a jerk! Funny enough, we teed off only to wait on our approach shots due the green not clearing. Pace was ok but we spent the entire days on top of the group in front of us.

Furthermore, I had called the day prior to inquire about damage to the course as many homes in the area were damaged. A heads up of closures to most roads within a half mile would have been helpful.

Fun course but better experiences can be had throughout the area. No need to go back to this nonsense.

Manicured course at budget price

This course is in much better condition than courses up in Wilmington that charge $10 - 30 more per round. Course is challenging but not excessively so. Only downside is the closeness of houses and the stress of worrying about not hitting them. The times I've played here it hasn't been crowded so pace of play is no issue.

Staff is great. Restaurant looks very nice, but I haven't tried it yet.
