About
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.

Golfer Reviews
Lousy conditions!
Course was in horrible shape.looks like they don't care about the condition everything was in.fairways,bunkers,tee boxes,greens!will not be going back until I read better reviews.
BURN OUT!
I've played here in the past. First time this year that I played here. Every....I mean every fairway and green had burn out on at least half of it. This course in the past was never like this. I was totally shocked. Sometimes you might see some in the fairway, but this was ridiculous. I didn't ask, but they should have refunded my money. Just terrible.
Hello, Baconstrip. Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. We are sorry to see that your overall experience was anything short of 5 stars. We have projects underway to recover the fairways and greens. We hope you'll bear with us through this transition and give us another try in the near future. Thanks for choosing Frog Hollow Golf Club.
How now brown crown
The course was struck by lightning which damaged the irrigation, some greens tee boxes and fairways showed the problem, but, this is still a great course and will be back even better soon. I love this course!
It was so bad that they should not be charging anybody to come and play on this course. They need to close it down fix it then maybe pay the dollars to play it was freaking horrible it sucked

Any golf day - a good day
I play the game for the fun of it. The course had major water issues this summer and unfortunately there is a lot of bad areas to hit from. If you take the game seriously and play for more than a good time I suggest you try somewhere else.

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.
Hello dhobayan. Thank you for taking the time to review the course and rate us. We are going to pass along your feedback on the greens and traps to the staff so they can work to make changes. Thanks for visiting us!
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.

Average experience
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.
