Rating 72.3

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.

Well maintained!

Frog Hollow offers moderate challenges, playing relatively long from the senior tees with several shots requiring forced carry over water and punitively heavy rough. The course was meticulously manicured with its tees rivaling greens of many lesser courses while the fairways resemble thick, plush carpets. Patrick in the pro-shop was very helpful in directing us through Frog's layout as we played the back-9 first. An electrical storm approached as progressed down #18, forcing suspension of play. We were offered a raincheck for our remaining 9-holes, so we opted for dinner at the Frog Pub. Although the pub is fairly small, the service and food were excellent. Looking forward to our next round... ribbit, ribbit!

In great condition despite all the rain which made it very soggy and playing long.

Had the course to myself with the rain and forecast. Cart path only was very justified.

Greens

Greens were quick! Replace your ball marks people. Fairways in excellent shape. Roughs going to be what you make of it. Overall, Frog Hollow, keep doing what you do!

Disappointed

It's been years since I've played here. From what the course was when it was first built till now are two different courses. Back in the day the greens were so fast, the rough was so high the fairways were so green. Now it's a $19 dollar course. For that price it's a playable course. To bad the players can't fix any divots anywhere on the course. Hope for better days on this once beautiful course

Signage for first timers sadly lacking. Where’s the pro shop? Parked once then moved the car after finding the shop, opposite end of facility from the cart return... Definitely better signs would be helpful. Course in good shape with the exception of one ladies tee box. No refreshment cart on a day of 98 degree weather.

Good course

The course was in good shape and challenging however clubhouse was under renovations and there was a bag drop rack with no one tending bags or carts. At cash register you are given a cart key and you just take any cart and return key at the end. We were paired with 2 guys we didn't know and it worked out fine. Driving, putting areas adequate

Course in good shape, bunkers need work

The fairway and greens were in good shape, but the bunkers needed sand. Pace of play was a little slow but ranger did ask group in front to speed up around the 7th hole and it did improve

Greens are better than last year

The course still needs work, but that’s what happens when the prior owner lets thing go. Bunkers need work, but greens are in good shape. Clubhouse menu could use more options, some salads.

Unexpected negatives

Very bad hitting area at range, horrible Matts

Too many blind landing shots off tee

Worse sand bunkers, sand not conditioned ,hard pan!

No marshals to keep up play .. hence 5 hours plus

Didn’t inform players their round involved a wedding occupying 1st hole in the middle of round ... never saw anything like this before! Really

To be fair, a very decent track

This course should NOT be getting 4 stars at this point.

good course and improving

Frog Hollow has always been a nice course, but it is now improving with the new ownership. Most of the course is in really good shape and they are working hard to improve it, especially the sand traps. It is nice to see all the work they are putting into this place. Staff is all very friendly too.

If there is a better bang for your buck

I wasn't sure what to expect as it is under new ownership. Never fear, it is still a quality golf course with one of the best closing holes around. The other 17 holes ain't all bad either. It is part of a housing development but I kind of like seeing the different style houses along the way and different ideas for backyard landscapes.Well worth the 50 plus mile drive to play. Will return soon, hopefully before gas hits 3 bucks a gallon.
