Frog Hollow Golf Club
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.

On the Way Back
With proper expectations, Frog Hollow is certainly a good value if you can get greens fees at $50 or less. It is a challenging course with a lot of fun holes and challenging greens - many with trouble lurking off the edges. (Don’t be long on 1!)
A handful of holes had mats in front of the tee boxes and a couple of fairways were aerated with plugs left in place (literally covering the entire fairway).
Some traps were lakes, some were brand new and one had a bunch of workers in it doing repairs.
The greens were good and the fairways were, too for the most part but it’s a shame how many divots and ball marks were left unrepaired. The last 50 yards of several holes were covered in unrepaired divots. A shame.
The carts are gas and chug along at an acceptable, if slowish, pace. No GPS.
Pro shop attendant was courteous. The bar/restaurant was closed but I was told it is open from Wednesday to Sunday and more days will be added as the weather improves.
No beverage cart on the course. No water.
I would like to play this course again in a month or two when temperatures rise.
If the course was in bloom and all the tee blades were open, I think the other negatives would not have been as noticeable. But in March, there’s not much else to look at - except the scorecard and I try not to do that.
Warm and sunny on a Monday in march
Well my buddy never showed up/ tee time at 1:20
Starter said I could go out wasn’t busy in the afternoon/ let husband and wife by me felt like they were always hitting up on me/ beautiful out, I played 9 they left the course , played back nine and few groups out had wonderful afternoon. Want to stop back get sweatshirt from pro shop/ do some free advertising for them to go with my frog hollow hat. Was still winter conditions but they had started clearing all the brush from around the ponds . Great time I will be back 🤠
Plan to go back
First time playing here. Long drive from my area but it was worth it. Would like to play in the warm weather because the course is a good value for the cost to play.
Great winter golf conditions
Play here often and it was a pleasure as expected.
Great Course, nice layout
Have played here many times and enjoy the course. The Staff are very friendly and helpful. Course is challenging, but if you keep it in play you can score well. Greens are fast, a must play.
A Fun Layout and Friendly Golf Course
I have played the Frog Hollow golf course a few times , every-time I have enjoyed the course layout and it being in great shape , even during the winter.
The staff , from the Proshop to Starters are always very helpful and friendly !
I will certainly return for more rounds in the future.
A cold day at Frog Hollow
We played first time at Frog Hollow. A fun course to play and fairways and greens conditions are good. Course was soaked after heavy rain the day before, but we enjoyed a lot.
Really like this course
I enjoy this course. It's well kept and the hole layout is just right for me. They had recently aerated the greens (or a little longer and the cold weather prevents the green from filling it in), so they were a little bumpy. I played alone, but got stuck behind two foursomes who didn't allow me to play through. But the pace of play was not awful. It was in the mid-40s, so I would have liked to play a little faster to stay warm. The course and staff were great.
Avoid this course like the plague
This is a course I will not be visiting any time soon and would not recommend it to anyone. If you want to spend 6 hours on the course, go for it. I had an 11:30am tee time but did not tee off until 12:15pm. I was told it was due to a frost delay but later learnt otherwise. Once we started, the wait on every hole was agonizing. Addional to our foursome, there were at least 2 other foursomes (more on some holes) waiting to tee off on every hole. Clearly the course was double booked. Many got frustrated and left. I also left at 3:45pm, 4hrs & 15 minutes into my round, at hole 11. This was my worst experience on a golf course ever and the aftertaste will take a while to wash off my mouth
