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.

Lack of Maintenance

I've been to this course in the past and really enjoyed it. Though this was my first time playing this year and the course was terrible. Most of the greens were completely scorched, as well as many areas in the fairway. The ruff was not well maintained and ended up making it extremely difficult to find a ball if you hit 5-10 yards off the fairway.

Maintenance needed

We are visiting from Florida and decided to play a round close to where we were staying however poor choice. This course is in bad condition. We were totally disappointed. Fairways are terrible greens mainly dirt. I guess we were looking for something similar to Florida courses and this certainly was not it. I wanted a refund but just decided just let it go.

Course is destroyed

Frog Hollow has been running specials stating the sprinkler system was struck by lighting in July 2019. I have played there previously multiple times and loved the course was in immaculate condo so I figured what the heck try it and see

The course must be closing, grass hasn’t been cut, rough hasn’t been maintained, sand traps have grass growing throughout, fairway is beaten, and the greens are dirt (literally all dirt no green see picture). While playing we were the only people on the course, at one point we caught up to another pair but this is only because it started thundering and lightning so we were headed back to the club house. While playing the sky’s turned gray and the thunder started. Like always we play until the horn, except there was no horn, EVER. 30+ minutes into the storm and still no horn.

Seems like this course will be closing in the near future. Such a shame was one of my favorite local courses.

Not Playable

Course says lightening struck their irrigation system and went unwatered for 2 weeks. This is usually a must play course with superb condition. BUT AS OF NOW, ITS UNPLAYABLE, and likely will be for a while. Greens are BARE and BROWN.

Worst round of golf EVER

This course should not be open in its current shape.

The starter stated that there were some brown spots out there - that was an under-statement.

The course was in non-playing shape and should not be open until the fairways and greens grow back.

They say the sprinkler system went down and thats why its in such poor shape, but why do the bunkers have grass growing in them.

COURSE SHOULD NOT BE OPEN FOR PLAY.

Course is in rough shape

Overall this course has potential but in its current condition it needs work. Greens are patchy w minimal green spots. Sand traps are mainly rocks with a couple of the par 3s having nice sand. Would try this course again once it’s in better condition but not till then.

Course Conditions Horrible

We have played this course twice. The first time was earlier this spring, and it was a pleasant experience.

We played 9 holes yesterday and the fairway and green conditions were atrocious. The fairways were in such poor condition that if you left a divot it improved the look. The greens were mostly nonexistent of grass, and even the sand traps were so poor that if you landed in one the ball bounced out.

My gripe is that we were not told at the pro shop while we paid. I understand that golf course go through periods of maintenance, but at least let us know so we can decide if we wanted to play under the conditions or go elsewhere.

Been a while and will Be a while again

Last played here ten years ago. Got a hot deal, then the morning I was to play got an email from the course offering discounts because of poor conditions. I should have stayed home. Burnt out fairways , unkempt traps, and terrible greens. Lame excuse about water system down because of a lightning strike. That should not prevent greens from being taken care of, or maintaining the traps. Drove over 30 miles each direction for this. Spend your golf dollars someplace else.

Needs work

My experience is somewhat limited as I have played Odessa National, Back creek, & Deerfield but compared to those Frog Hollow would be my last pick if I was asked which course to play. The bunkers were unkempt (played early in the day) the course itself needed attention as far as upkeep. Pace of play was fine, ate at restaurant which was great value for the money. I would play Frog Hollow again in the future but would hope for improvements.

Not in good shape and

I’ve played this course before and always enjoyed my round. Currently , the course is in very bad shape, in my opinion it’s unplayable. The tee boxes, fairways, and greens are burnt out and most of the bunkers are unplayable. The starter said their sprinkler system was damaged by a storm, but based on the conditions I think there’s more going on. There should be a warning posted on the GolfNow site. Beware if you plan on playing here anytime soon.

Low cost and very few golfers on the course, but wasn’t impressed by conditions of the course. Lots of dead grass, bunkers were a disaster, greens were in terrible condition.

Beware this course is done for the season...

We booked our golf round on Golfnow and prepaid...we showed up on the course was pretty much empty. Only then did we find out that there was an ‘irrigation problem’ but was assured the course was brown and still very playable. This is dead wrong. The course is hard, covered in crabgrass, and greens are dead.

There is no mention of the course condition on Facebook, the website or Golfnow. I recommend that you inform those booking of the condition and that you actually consider closing until the repairs are made and the course is in better condition.

Great layout, absurdly bad conditions

This course was the biggest shame I've ever played. What was clearly once an incredible and interesting track has not become barely playable. I won't complain about the hard fairways that gave my drives an extra 30yards, but the greens were so bad it was funny. You might as well skip putting because the amount of dirt you putt over was ridiculous. Not to mention the bunkers in such bad shape I didn't even feel bad pulling my ball out of them due to so many rocks. The condition of the course is honestly so bad, you shouldn't be able to post a USGA score to it because at a certain point you're normal ability goes out the window. With proper investment in this course to bring the conditions back, I'd love to play this course again. But even the $25 deal i got from my victory pass felt close to a ripoff. That said, the staff was awesome. Really sad to see such a nice course fall into such disrepair.

Downhill

I used to hold this course in high regard. It was costly and is about an hour drive for me, so when I make a tee time to ay here it really is me going out of my way. Unfortunately, the course is in complete disarray. The fairways are burnt, divots aren't cared for (put some miracle grow in the carts), bunkers have been "in work" for almost 2 years (looking at you greenside bunker on hole 5), prior hole positions have the equivalent of a toupee after being filled, and the greens... I bet Neil Armstrong found more grass on the moon. I love this course setup but I cannot justify driving all the way up there when I can play at courses closer to me for less and in significantly better shape. I hope you all get this figured out, because I love playing this course when it is in good conditions. At least there was cold water igloos throughout the course.

Not what it used to be

The course was in much worse shape than in previous years. Also, one foursome ahead of us was holding up 5 others. The ranger basically criticized us stating that they were on pace -- but clearly they slowed down substantially in on the back 9. We won;t go back.

Course is lost

Dont waste your money or time. Multiple changes in management has caused the course to become a victim of no direction. A once go to course for me will no longer be on my play list. Greens and fairways have been lost,traps are not playable with grass and weeds in place of sand. First cut of rough in up to your calfs. No mention of course conditions when checking in. After round management says sorry reevaluating course, with not so much of an attempt to make things right with a refund.
