Frequently Asked Questions

Is The Links at Hemlock Creek a true links experience, or does the 'creek' imply something different?

You'll find Hemlock Creek offers a fantastic blend, leaning heavily into its links roots with wide-open fairways and fescue rough, but the creek itself introduces some strategic water hazards that demand precision. Don't expect a pure seaside links, but prepare for the wind and firm conditions that make it feel authentically 'links-y' in all the best ways.

We highly recommend visiting in the shoulder seasons-late April to early May or late September through October-when the weather is still fantastic, and the peak summer rush has subsided. You'll often find more favorable green fees and a much more relaxed pace of play, letting you truly appreciate the course's nuances.

What's the most memorable hole at Hemlock Creek, and what makes it so special?

The par-3 14th hole, aptly named 'The Crossing,' is an absolute standout; it demands a precise carry over a wide section of Hemlock Creek to a green guarded by deep bunkers. It's a beautiful, nerve-wracking shot that will test your club selection and mental game, offering a fantastic photo opportunity whether you hit it close or find the water.
