Played after a day of rain. The course had drained well and the greens were in good shape along with the fairways.
Staying in the fairway was at a premium, as once you were off the rough was thick and high. It desperately needed cut and the amount of weeds/dandelions was overwhelming. Finding any shot in in the rough was very difficult. I found as many lost balls by others as my own when looking for a shot.
Management was trying to address the weed issue with a guy in full hazmat gear spraying several holes on the back 9.
A request/suggestion for Hemlock Springs is to come up with another tee option. Currently, the Blue tees measure 6520 and the White tees 5611 yards. That is a huge variance with the white being to short for most and blue too long for some.
If a hybrid length of blue and white tees could be added to the card at about 6000 yards it would fit more skill levels.
Customer service in thr pro shop and by mtce on the course was very cordial.

Positives: Every green had perfect grass. Smooth and quick. Very walkable, green to tees had no long distances and although there is terrian its pretty but not with oppressive climbs. Easy access from I-90. Friendly staff. Nice layout. $5 off military discount.
Positives with negativesl: Fairway grass - plenty of good and ok lies but much of the course has had fungal infections. Bunkers had good sand but edges had lots of areas where the grass has started growing into the bunkers, the course seemed to not groom them and clientele did a poor job raking.
