Reviews of Frog Hollow Golf Club & Restaurant (Golf)

Will Alexander

Great choice for a laid back golf course with reasonable prices. Staff seemed very friendly and the atmosphere wasn't too stuffy like some golf courses can get. The pro shop was a little sparse, but has enough merchandise for anyone in a pinch. The course was in the process of being reseeded in a lot of the areas, but you can't fault them for trying to improve the grass quality. Overall it was a great place to golf, just try not to hit any houses!

Don Andrews

The golf course doesn't even earned one star. I noticed when I booked this course that it was aerification. But now that I'm here in playing the greens are totally closed and they got makeshift Greens in front of them and it really sucks. I am going to call GolfNow and recommend that they take this golf course off of their site I wouldn't play this for free

Chote

Fun course, the grounds weren't that great. Was informed a bad experience with fertilizer burned the course and lighting strikes. But course should be back up my next spring. Still a fun time.

Richard Dobos

Terrible. What was once a well maintained golf course is now a Cow Pasture. Bunkers over grown with weeds, crab grass in fairways and tee boxes. Greens a mess. Doesn't deserve the one star.

Olutope Olusola

Very organized and clean environment

Carmen Rua

Fries were saggy and burger was very greasy.

Robert Sturgis

Had a great time

I have been coming to this place with friends for past 3 years now. What I have been through today has driven me to the extent of writing a bad review. Came with 2 friends, picked up some golf balls, while the friends went out, thought to grab beers for everyone, took 3 beers, did not tip the bartender because I had the exact cash for 3 beers(was not carrying my wallet), felt bad but thought I would come back for the second round anyway and could get the cash from other friends and would tip her for the second round. Came back to get the second round of beers and she just would not serve, she specifically said that I could wait as I did not give her the tip, I waited for 40 minutes to get 2 beers while she kept on serving others, I asked her many times, I even mentioned that I did not have enough cash at the time I took the first set of beers, she said you didn't tip me so you can wait. After 40 minutes and 6 dollars of tip, I just came out. Such a disappointing evening, more than that, I used to love this place. I understand people working for tips, but have some decency and at least listen to the customer. Rule is simple here, No tip means no service.

Nice, well maintained Golf Course

Nick Mancuso

Food has been pretty bad here, I haven't tried it in awhile because I've been disappointed so many times. The bar is decent, and the pool is one of the best in town. Can't speak on the golf, as I don't play.

Christine Draper

I have played here at least 50 times and used to be my favorite course new management has taken the hometown feeling away I was trying to teach someone to golf and they came around 6 times to tell me my pace was to slow on the slowest day of the week horrendous attitudes in the bar and on the course such a shame

The Spy Family ward ward

This place and there food is just amazing!!!!

Susan Leavell

Outstanding & attentive waitress was Sue. All of the gang enjoyed our afternoon get together of 10 CR Alumni...

Tim Bergman

Great course! Greens, fairways, and tee boxes all in great shape. Challenging and beautiful.

Frankie Ceglia

For the office this is the best public course I've been to around here.

Tyler Robinson

Always in really nice shape, not a fan of roller coaster greens

Jeff Scott

Course isn't in good shape, although it's an interesting track. At least the price is right.

Rick Henry

This used to be a well conditioned course. It is in horrible shape.

Dawn Rowe

Always very hospitable and delicious

Jeffrey Olson

Course is in good condition. Very challenging.

Kevin Smith

Inexpensive, and played like it

Austin Lima!

Went on a hs golf match and I sincerely want to go back

Chuck Fulmer

Terrible shape, not worth the money, employees are rude!

Katelynd Wolf

We went for dinner with some and got 2 dozen large crabs and they were wonderful!

John Thomas

Great food and great service.

Daren Lawrence

Fair price for what you get here. The course is in pretty good shape for this area. The greens are very undulating and the pin placements were brutal on some holes. You can expect a few more putts than you are used to. I was surprised to learn how bare bones the food selection was at the turn. I walked in around noon, and they didn't have anything hot available and only a couple cold wrap selections. The grill didn't open until 4pm. My biggest concern with this course is the neighboring houses are closer to the danger zone than any course I've ever played. And there are several tee boxes where hitting a house is possible. One house in particular has at least 20 patches in their siding and a hole blown through their gutter drain pipe. Overall, it was decent course. I normally play Rock and Delcastle. I would say the course quality was about the same.

Nice place

Thor Mollung

Place is under new management! Course is in great shape and they ate spending money to fix all the bunkers. Golf pub is open 7 days a week and ha e a good section of food. The crabs are my favorite! MD#1's or LA #1's. Tons of meat. Overall renovations need to be done for an actual pro shop but the price is right. $299 or less plus cart fee for all you can at membership. Have also seen $199 plus cart fee. They offer senior and military discounts. Pool and function hall are owned/managed by someone separated from the golf. Pool process was high this year. We are at Saint Anne's pool.

Keegan Ashbee

Too expensive for the quality of the course. Greens and tee boxes were in rough shape. Fairways for the most part are solid

Gerry Stanek

Several greens were showing signs of burnout. Tees are spotty. Some fairways are burning out. Sand traps have stones. Great layout but needs some work before I pay 50.00 again.

Dave Evers

Nice course, open and forgiving. Very wet right now, watch out for goose poop on the 6th and 7th holes.

Barbara Morris

First visit. Karate black belt celebration. Size was perfect.

steven schofield

New owners. Food was excellent!

Karen Cook

Great food. Highly recommend.

David Brower

Greens where rough but early in the season still.

Bill Hartzel

It was pretty good before under new ownership still continues to a nice place to visit.They added Seafood

Tasha Mack

Great service great food

Suresh Rathore

Good Golf Course.

Donna Gsell

Excellent location, friendly owner, wonderful atmosphere. Couldn't have chosen a better place to have the bridal shower I recently attended there. Kudos to Frog Hollow!

David Reed

This course is terrible!! It changed owners and new ownership has run the course into the ground. They should pay you to waste your time playing this course. The owner is rude and service in the pro shop is horrible. No grass in the fairways, bunkers have weeds in them and are unplayable. and have crab grass all over them. This has to be the worst course in Delaware. The sad part is the course used to be one of the best. I hope somebody buys this course and can restore it to what it used to be. Don’t waste your time or money at this dog track!!

Dan Forester

absolutely horrible conditions. no grass in the fairways or green. totally brown. tee boxes and bunkers overgrown with crabgrass. They should pay you to play there.

JJ Nichols

Great atmosphere

Jose Colon

Beautiful golf course with very friendly personnel.

Jerry Barks

Good course, greens can be impossible at times, very fast and lots of undulation.

Dan Mc

I liked the course layout. there were plenty of bunkers to trip you up. Unfortunately, the greens had signs of aeration and were tough to putt. I'd play it again.

Marlon Goochey

Beautiful Course. Plenty of challenges!

Nine Handicap

Played here approximately two weeks ago and prior to our round we had a small issue with the bartender. While on the course a couple of hours later, the owner drove out on the course to track us down and made the situation right...and did so well beyond what was called for. This is customer service at its finest and an act that will keep us coming back over and over. The course itself was in amazing condition and is comfortably challenging. A great experience on a great course - put it on your list to play and play and play!!

Robert Wilkins

Waiting to get inside, heard good things but no experience yet

Gary Washington

Great course, great people.

Jeannie Bochicchio

Good food and drinks. Great prices.

Bobby Delle Donne

Good food, good people, good service.

ron santino

The crabs were excellent tonight! So were the sandwiches and salads. Our party of 6 had a great time!...Hope you have the NFL game package. Frog Hollow and the World Champion Philadelphia Eagles would be perfect together!

Michelle N

I don't typically write bad reviews, as I work in customer service and I understand the magnitude held in word-of-mouth. However, ... we ordered crabs through Frog Hollow Golf Club and Restaurant. THEY WERE BAD. We ordered half a bushel, only to find out they only sell in dozens (ok, fine) since it was described as the best of the season, the biggest and heaviest. ... When we got them home we were still 6 crabs short. The crabs themselves were no more than 3.5-5 inches long; and super light! Almost empty. Some not even legal length. Very over cooked and highly over seasoned. We called Frog Hollow to voice our concern for the missing crabs, misleading plug about the crabs being from Carolina and they were bigger and better than Maryland crabs. So, the very nice lady on the phone was apologetic, but after speaking to her manager, all she could offer was 6 free crabs! ... um no, we ordered #1s - we got 4inch, light weight, most missing claws! So I ask nicely to speak with her manager; she gets the 'owner' who coincidentally was already speaking to someone else about the same problem... .. .... he was the rudest, most condescending individual I have ever spoken to! Arguing with me (the customer) about the order. Offered no apologies, no remorse, NOTHING. Laughed at the problem we were trying to explain. Argued about the quality. Told me I was the only one with a problem; that's odd... because the rep that answered the phone told me I had to hold for you because you were dealing with the same issue another customer was having. Said that there was nothing wrong with the order and the only thing I could do was drive all the way back to Frog Hollow from New Castle, just to show you the crabs. .... so that's what I did! I went back down to meet with the owner, only to be greeted by the first nice lady I spoke with on the phone; while the owner hid in the next room. She initially offered me my money back AND she offered me a dozen jumbo crabs... but then talked to you (the owner) about it and you I assume refused them. Never came out to apologize, never offered any personal explanation, never even showed face for your establishment. Horrible!

Everyday I'm Shuffling

Black mold on the course and when I called the pro shop to tell them about it they hung up on me.

Lamar N Grace King

Incredible course and a great price!! Great lay out with extremely challenging greens, not many flat putts :). I would highly suggest it!

Sean Mahoney

Very typical public golf course. Of the 3 MOT area courses, this one has the best value; I have paid as little as $15. New management is making great efforts to improve the golf course by fixing bunkers that have been in dreadful shape for several years.

Fred K

What a disappointing day today at Frog Hollow. I've enjoyed playing there once or twice per year for the last decade or so. It was worth driving 30 or so miles to play it. Not any more. Pretty much a cow pasture. They've let the fescue rough grow to ~2' depth over much more of the course (supposedly to resemble Scottish links) but now much too close to the fairways in many spots for a public track. Lost balls and slow play were the inevitable result (let's not kid ourselves -- they are saving a LOT of money by doing this.) What would normally be "first cut" bordering the fairways is now true 1"-2" rough -- quite unattractive and penal to boot. Basically, deep fescue that, when I started playing here a decade ago, was strategically placed and added to the attractivenenss of the course, is now overgrown, encroaching, and very ugly. The fairway bunkers and greenside traps are for the most part weed-infested mud/dirt pits. The "rough" surrounding these was so weedy and unkempt that a few balls normally "in-play" were lost, as we did not want to spend 5 minures looking for them. In summary -- check out the course pictures on their website, then ignore them. NOT EVEN CLOSE. I will grant Frog Hollow that the tees and greens were in decent shape, though signs of weed infestation are showing up and I am concerned what they will look like in a month or two as summer conditions really set in. Carts were clean and service was friendly enough. Price for seniors was very good -- but for the current conditions no bargain! A fairly recent earlier review compared it to Delcastle and Rock Manor. Greens, tees and fairways are a bit better than Delcastle, but overall the course is less playable given the disastrous traps and absurd rough. Last time I played The Rock it was MUCH nicer than this place; though the greens had been punched and sanded with no warning on their website. I'm sure they are excellent by now. Sure feels like the "death spiral" has begun. I truly hope I am wrong as there are a number of memorable holes and the nature areas are quite pretty. Plus all those nice homes on the course deserve better...

Jason Coffin

Remodeling so not nice looking. Went for an event and the band and food were good.

Susan Legg

The shrimp and crabs are excellent. They even ordered a special wine for me. Excellent management and service

Lisa Greenwood

Wedding had many issues as I found out later. I was just missing a knife. New mgmt, but the mousse dessert still shouldnt have been runny.

Tom Hunter

Wonderful time on the golf course.

Steven Crampton

Under new ownership as of recently. Great beer prices. Food is just okay and somewhat bland, but I feel like it will get better with time. Still in its early stages and the dishes have solid foundations. Will return soon and update review with progression.

Alainna Wells

Great place for everyone that lives in Legends and surrounding areas. Food is reasonably priced and has come a long way since we started going here about 18 months ago. This is now our "go to"! Keep up the good work! Friendly staff and good drinks as well as atmosphere.

Will-i-am Echols

Nice friendly atmosphere. I have to come back.

Kim Williams

Great food and great service!

Jeff Whitmarsh

Course is ok. Cart are very poor. Service was poor. Wanted something in return for a extra green fee I PAID for and they wouldn't do anything. Very strange to have a public course so strict with fees already paid for. We NEVER go back and will tell everyone I KNOW about their service. Go to the other courses in the area Back creek and Odessa. Better facilities and MUCH better service.

Nicholas Anderson

I used to hold this place in high regard and go out of my way a few times a year to drive up and play this course. Unfortunately, this place has gone downhill. The fairways were burnt, bunkers have been in shambles for a while, greens were rock hard with more dead spots than grass, not to mention the previous hole positions are covered with little patches that literally knock your ball every which way other than where you were trying to put it. I hope they sort this place out soon, otherwise I doubt that I will be back. The food is legit, if you make it to the turn or 19th.

quickstercc

Great food

Bobby Kinsella

Nice track shop golf now for discount.

Joe Manzo

Good food, and a nice atmosphere... hard to find a non-chain restaurant in town and this is a good place to try it!

Stephanie Hutchison Maahs

Awesome pool and new owners!

bob h

Excellent price on ayce crabs. Flies as usual, a problem inside the restaurant.

Alan Hines

Special shout out to Steve and Patrick at Frog Hollow Golf Course. Their kindness and generosity is outstanding. These men allowed the MOT Tigers Special Olympics Golf team practice at the practice range at no cost every Sunday afternoon. They also allowed three of our golfers to play at a discounted rate. Patrick was always willing to lend not only his time but wealth of golf knowledge to our athletes as well. Thanks guys - our team was super successful at their tournament because of you.

Sean ODonnell

The course was an immaculate shape. The greens are very quick.

jamie westerberg

Good beer

Ed Medina

Always love playing there

Mallory Grace

Amazing pool great golf course. Incredible chiefs and the pro shop it was over packed with satisfied people wanting to give more great reviews! Oh and all the workers are extremley nice and I like the owner Jimmy. He's nice and kind to all of his costume's and he's never been in a bad mood (at work)

rickaboltful

Until New Management takes over, they aren't putting any money into this place. Bunkers are a mess, greens are patchy and the facilities dirty.

Todd Tush

Great food great staff great prices. They made our father's day awesome. Crabs were big and heavy and cooked perfectly. We will be going back many times.

fred kat

Expensive, the golf carts are on life support and the owner is a grumpy bitter man who drives around yelling at random golfers. Don't bother with this course. Go somewhere else....just not here.

Michael Battle

Very nice and well kept.

Andrew Green

Slow slow slow. Did I say slow?

steven jackson

Course in good shape restaurant good food

Joseph Wingate

Tough course but well maintained friendly staff

Stuart Lindner

Food was great, but it took us forever to get our check, and pay our bill.

marty baeriswyl

Played today on 4-14-18. $49.00 and you couldn't putt on the greens. Most bunkers just had dirt thrown in and weren't raked. Aerated greens with big holes, that were not sanded properly. Premium price, but not premium condition

Brian Warner

Greens were burnt and no water provided till hole 12 . price was great and usually in great shape just ruff weather I guess .

Bob Johnson

Sand traps were washed out but over all that was due to the excessive rain. Nice day at a quality course.

Breeze

It's in great shape for the rains. There wasn't water on the course yet and we tee'd off at 9am. I have played here alot and this course is a fun and challenging course. I would rate higher if they fix the snack bar for in-between 9s. The last time we went there it took 30mins for a hot dog. You will like the course for golf.

laurie eriksen

Conditions not great after all the rain this summer. Normally better. Fall should help improve conditions.

Dorian Coleman

I ordered some crabs to go. When I walked in it smelled amazing! It had a real club house feeling inside. The crabs tasted great! I might have to try some golf now...

Mary Jamieson

Love the new menu!

Joe Spina

Its ok....

jay brandt

Awesome

John Richardson

The no.1 make crabs are very big and tasty well seasoned and fresh!!!

Frank Molfetta

Disappointed. Used to love this course, but it seems to have fallen into a state of disrepair. Conditions were terrible last time out. Still a nice layout and value, but I'd still play elsewhere until conditions improve.

Brandon Poffenberger

Clean tough greens

Andrew Oatley

Challenging and unique for the area.

Donald Brooks

It's nice, always enjoyed it since it first opened!!

Don Malizia

Love it Been my home course for over 10 years

Joi Richardson

Our server Bonnie (I think that's her name) was so attentive and pleasant. The seafood was great had the large Maryland crabs.

Melvin Holden

It's not easy to give out a perfect rating but i did for the staff has been spot on for me and my group.

Great food . Excellent service.

samuel haynes

It is a nice place to play a game.

Donnie Golden

I was trying to practice on the putting green and kids from the restaurant were rolling around all of over the place. Is it a local bar or a golf course?

Kenneth Rybeck

Nice course under new ownership

Madra Clay

All you can eat crabs! Yummy.

Kristen S

Great course

David Patch

Nice layout, and not too expensive to play. Military discount, and beer is cheap.

Dawn Bunch

The course is in VERY BAD shape! No Bunkers all but one on 16 left of green...They are losing the Fairway and Greens...Looks like they do not have a Green's or Fairway keeper!...That track used to be fantastic to play.

Jafvou Wilson

Golfing 24/7

elect1960

Not my kind of course it runs you thru residential housing and the housing is pretty much on the course you see a lot of ball marks on the houses. Not too much trouble the course is fair

yvonne boggus

Wonderful day. Course is great. They are working on bunkers. Friendly staff. Great crab cakes. Definitely will play there again.

Stephen Reynolds

Had all you can eat crabs for $25 while watching Currie Wayne Clayton play great time great people crabs were small but full and very good entertainment was unbelievable excellent day

Chance Carrick

Place is a dog track.

David Amakobe

The golf course is well maintained, the greens are good and hole 19 is welcoming! A good club to have friendly game with friends.

Alex Dick

Nice pro shop with pub. Great driving range with real grass tees.

Vinnie Maruggi

Great find. Greens are large and undulating, fairways generally in great shape. Watch out for the goose poop on one of the water holes, though. Inexpensive drinks at the bar. Wonderful bargain.

Donna Ogden

First wedding and reception ever held there. ...it was a learning experience for the staff, and an exercise in patience for the guests.

Michele Ford

Goodvfood great prices! Love the staff!

James Riggs

New Pub menu, steamed clams perfect. Had Colossal Steamed shrimp very good Taste. Stop by and try the new pub menu

Siana's Life

This was my first time going here, I always see there posts on Facebook and the guy was nice enough to give us a table even though we didnt have s reservation. And their crabs were the best I had in a long time. They were big and meaty. Only thing that was annoying were the flies but a great place to eat.

Wayne Ferguson

Played her recently in a benefit golf outing... The course was in outstanding condition... Very nice public course.

Amy Rotella

Loved this course and of course, the drinks :)

Trini

Best place for Crabs hands down...this place has been kept a secret and now I know why! :)

June H Woo

Booked a course here last minute as we were originally scheduled to play at Heritage Shores but they ended up closing the course due to the heavy rain. For $39 for an afternoon round, I'm not going to comment much on the course. Nothing special but for that price can't complain. Also it was cart path only but again, not going to complain given the weather. That's to be expected. What I can complain about is the service as well as how they manage the course. We were a twosome. We got sandwiched between a 6some & a 5some. I kid you not! I called at the 1st tee box letting management know & all they said was the extra 2some among the 6some should be teeing off with us but then left it to us to tell the group. What? Isn't that the job of the ranger or some other employee to enforce the rules? So as you can imagine, brutally long front 9. Then on the turn, as we're standing on the side of the 1st tee box (they made us start on the back nine) waiting for the 6some to finish teeing off, one of the workers come barging at us asking if we're just teeing off at which point I told him that you started us on the back nine, to which he didn't acknowledge & simply went back inside. Seriously plenty of options & I'll gladly pay $20 more to play at Heritage Shores or some other course for that matter.

Jeremiah Michael

I like the name ya Fuchs

Brody Sapp

Beautiful Course. Highly Recommend!!

Pierce Butler

I just DO

Pat K

This course is in absolutely fantastic condition and shows the level of professionalism on offer from its groundscrew. Unfortunately the same can't be said for the management. There was no signage indicating the location of the 1st tee and nobody in the pro shop could give coherent directions. I played the first 11 holes in 1h 40m, only to be met with a logjam on the 12th caused by several slow groups playing an outing. There was no ranger to marshall the course and the final 7 holes ended up taking over 2h. The bar staff was pleasant and accomodating while the food and drink prices are solid. In summation I'd go back if I got a good deal on greens fees, but paying full price I'd be assesing all my options.

Tiffany Schreppler

New management has made a big difference. If you haven’t been for a while, you will be pleasantly surprised.
