Narrative:
On our landing roll I noticed the runway surface looked new. As we slowed I noticed the runway appeared not to be grooved. Once on ground frequency I asked if [the] runway was grooved. Ground spoke with airport ops and they confirmed that [the] runway is not grooved but will be in the near future. I indicated that is most likely worth a NOTAM since the chart indicates it is grooved. Hours later there is no NOTAM.
