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.

Excellent golf course.

Frog Hollow is in better shape this year. They did a very good job getting the fairways and greens back into very good condition. I love the layout of the course. You have a good mixture of challenging holes and some easy holes. Pretty wide open, so long hitters will enjoy with room for error. However, there are holes you must play wisely (iron to green) or you will pay with strokes. Very fun course and this is my wife's favorite course as the red tees are very generous. :-)

Frog Hollow-first timer

I absolutely loved the layout of the course!!! I’m definitely a fan of links-style golf. It was a very hot and humid day, and having it cart-path-only didn’t help, but was understandable. We found out they changed it to 90deg around the 14th hole (group behind us told us they were advised at the turn). It would have been nice if a ranger/player’s assistant would have driven out and told everyone- we didn’t see a ranger the whole day. The fairways were in pretty good shape, tee boxes— not so much. Greens were slow as molasses and definitely needed some work. However, all things considering., I would definitely make the drive to play this track again (was an hour drive). I think it has great potential and I’d be that in prime season minus the recent weather, I bet it’s in phenomenal shape!!

Slow and Steady

Waiting on every tee shot, no rangers around and the greens were slow as I've ever seen. You couldn't hit the putts hard enough. Fairways are okay. Sand traps were washed out.

With that in mind, we are working to best control pace and allow everyone to finish in a reasonable amount of time. Thank you for playing Frog Hollow Golf Club. We hope to see you again soon.

Fairways were great

Just played yesterday, and the course played well. Fairways and Greens were perfect. Sand Traps were either hard sand, or with water? (need work) Not many trees to worry about, but a few holes with water, that welcomes balls.

Only advise is, don't use the outhouse. It has been disregarded for many years it looked like. Better off in the woods with trees.

Another fine day at Frog Hollow

Have played Frog Hollow 5 or 6 times this season. The course is rounding back into shape, the greens show much improvement, I'd suggest handing out a divot tool with instructions on how to repair ball marks but that would be the case on most courses.some people just don't take the time to fix their marks on the green. Played the day after an evening of heavy rain the sand traps were mostly unplayable and most of the fairway traps were full of water or washed out. When Patrick and his team get back to working on the traps and some of the damaged areas of the fairways from last years sprinkler issues have a chance to heal and grow back in the course will definitely be back to 4 plus star status. Also played on a Tuesday when temps were in the nineties there was no beverage cart out on the course so bring plenty to drink with you to stay hydrated, I've only seen the cart out on the weekends. Overall it was a great round with friends, the staff as always were friendly and courteous.

Course is in great shape but pace of play and staff friendliness awful

I love this course I’ve played about 8 times now but last time I think will be my last Just played Friday July 3rd and like always nothing is too bad except pace of play and the one old starter they have. Every single time I play he starts my experience off terrible and all of my friends that have gone there say the same thing. That starter is so rude and unpleasant it makes no sense to have someone out there with that type of customer service. I would rather him not talk at all than be that unprofessional and flat out

Rude Every single time I play there. Also pace of play can be improved my a ranger a bit more often out there. Lay out is nice and course is in good shape. But I won’t be returning unless the course reaches out and apologizes for that employee poor treatment

Rude Staff

The course is in ok shape compared to what it was last year. The starter was rude, and I didn’t like the fact that they lure you in with the $30.00 price. When you check in, they then tell you that that price is walking only and charge you an extra $20.00 to ride. GO PLAY ODESSA NATIONAL OR BACKCREEK, much better courses with better staff!

Rounding back to shape

The work they’ve put in to get the course in good shape after the unfortunate irrigation system incident last summer left most the greens and a lot of the fairways in horrible shape. Most of the greens are in good shape, just a few spotty areas and they’re keeping them just a little long as they continue to recover. Everything else is in good shape. I’ve really liked this course a lot and I’m glad to see it playing well again! Definitely be back again soon and am hoping they can get back to the smooth fast greens!

Course improving

Post the irrigation issue from last summer the course is making a comeback, although there are still some rough spots. It’s a great layout at a great price. To me, the only thing keeping it from a full 5 star rating are the conditions of the traps which are improving slowly but still have a ways to go

Disrespect

It is hard to understand why this course gets sparse play. Great layout and conditions. Some greens do have fungal spots, but most courses do. Very disappointed the Pub is not open, could be why golfers are not playing here.

Disappointing Business Practices

Price online did not represent cart cost and didn't make this clear. Also didn't give a cost for carts, so staff is free to charge whatever for carts when you get there. Also not enough carts for everyone to ride separately.

Next time will be going to a course with price transparency.
