Frog Hollow Golf Club
Rating Snapshot
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.

Still holding strong
Played yesterday for my second round at this course this year. Given the past few weeks without rain, the course is still holding on strong and in great shape. Really the only worn out areas are where the carts come off the path after the tee boxes to begin heading to your ball. Greens are in excellent shape, rough is manageable, and fairways are also good. Bunkers are poor, but I hear there planing on redoing them so I’d have to assume they’re not going to put any money into their maintenance until they’re back up to playing standards. If you happen into one, you’ll most likely have to pull it out and drop next to it. Some par 3 tee boxes are starting to show their seasonal age but I’m nit picking there. Still, it’s the nicest place I’ve played this year, out of a dozen rounds or so. Sadly, the pub was closed for some reason after our round but not a big deal. Plenty of places around to go grab a beer afterwards.
What a Great Course!!!!
I have brought my traveling golf club down to Delaware since we heard about Frog Hollow. We have never had bad conditions or complaints. The course is showing its teeth with age. What a great track. The price is perfect as I hope now with Ron Jaworski buying another course in the area. That they don't do the sme as he does and raise the rates and not care about tge weekend golfer. Cause as I have seen, all of his tee sheets are wide oen from 10am till 2pm with him asking over $120.....
One of my favorite courses
Always a good time and always a lot of fun. One of my favorite courses to play
Good game but a couple of minor issues
there were only a couple of issues. there was a noticeable backup on the par 3s. The price was also very expensive for the lack of upkeep.
Just great
From the front desk to the starter then the greens crew to the wait staff at the restaurant just grand
All the above were on target and all clearly have an interest in the course being presented in its best light.
But when you hit the links the greens crew stands out like a private club staff.
These greens are in very good shape , smooth, firm and speedy with some movement . If only everyone would clean up there ball marks it’s such a shame they don’t . But again the crew still makes these greens a blast to putt on.
Kudos to Frog Hollow and thx for a great round
i enjoy playing this course although it is a bit challenging. i would play here more but its a long drive from Philadelphia.
Water hazards in bunkers.
Bunkers clearly don’t have any drainage. Was day after heavy rain but many bunkers had standing water in them. IMO this course has way too many bunkers - they r hard to maintain and keep in good shape. Suggest course management seriously consider eliminating several bunkers. Greens are challenging but in excellent condition and a lot of fun to play. Good value for the $.
Nice ciurse
It's a nice course. Although, this time we encountered people who wanted to play past us even though we were moving at a very good pace. Four young men indicated they had an appointment to get to (doubt it). The nice fellow who played w us told them ok.
