Beautiful course on a beautiful day

This is a great track in the middle of the country. I was passing through and happened to sweet this course. I am really glad I did. Well kept course, tight in areas and a shot makers course. Had a blast and would definitely play again if in the area.

Wow. Just fabulous

First time here. Was treated like a regular visitor. Friendly and well organized staff on a busy holiday weekend morning. Greens in great shape even after a tough wet spring. Fun to play layout. Will be back for more!

They take pride in maintenance

It has been a really wet spring. Yet they have kept the fairways groomed and the greens are simply excellent. I have recently played in so called high end courses and the greens have ball marks unrepaired from last season. Not here.

I was a single and everyone waved me through. Some rough is still long and you will lose your ball. However, we will have dry weather for the next few days and in a day or two the rough will be playable.

Surprised for the county.

This is probably the nicest course in Ashtabula County, Ohio. The greens are well kept, fairways were mowed beautifully, and the course is set up well. I highly recommend visiting this course!

After the rain

The staff at this course are always super friendly. I would give the condition of the course a five, but we have had about a foot of rain in NE Ohio during the past three weeks, so it was pretty wet. It is always a pleasant experience golfing at Hemlock Springs.

Great Course

Course was in outstanding condition. Pace of play was great, and the ranger was out on the course ensuring the pace was steady. Ranger was very friendly and helpful throughout the entire round. Staff was extremely kind and friendly. I will definitely be playing at this course more often, definitely worth the hour drive.

One of my favs

I love this course. Has the friendliest people. Always in really good shape. Kitchen has a great cook. Course has a country feel to it. Not surrounded by a bunch of house. I met the owner this time. He really made our group feel at home.

Great course. Staff worthless

Great time at course. Inexpensive and good layout.

My buddies car was hit by another car in the parking lot. No note. We went to talk to staff in pro shop. Could have cared less. Completely disinterested. Horrible customer service.
