Lockwood Folly Country Club is a superbly conditioned, semi-private, member owned "hidden gem". The course is located at the confluence of the Intracoastal Waterway and the Lockwood Folly River, providing golfers with breathtaking vistas of tidal estuary, moss covered hard- woods and the solitude of nature. Tree lined, nonparallel fairways winding through hardwoods and pine afford a sense of seclusion while challanged with championship golf.

Course Conditions and Amenities

Tee boxes and fairways varied greatly by hole with a lot of bare spots. Greens were in good shape. Pace of play was slow and no ranger to maintain proper pace. Cart paths are terrible and there were several water coolers but only one had water and the several water fountains at the bathroom locations had no refrigeration which is not acceptable when 94 degrees! Beverage cart came around once in the entire round. Better courses and amenities at other locations near by and less than $78.00 to play. Impression is they don’t have the money to keep up the course like it used to be maintained.

Overall good experience.

Fairways were excellent, greens were very good, and sand traps were perfect, but rough was average. Some hazards were hard to see from the tees, especially playing the course the first time..

A little overpriced but still fun

The fairways had been aerated. If they were in better shape I would have rated slightly higher. I also expected to see water a lot more than only on the back of 18 green. At $40 it would be a good deal but $70 is a little steep for what you get. Still if you’re in the area it’s not a terrible choice.

Lots of bare spots

The fairways had a lot of bare patches and where fairly rough in places. The greens where largely the same. Very thing grass covering along with being pretty sandy and crusty. It was very hard to keep a ball on line.

Great at a hot deal price

Greens currently need help but they're probably about to aerify like other courses in the area so it's understandable. Layout has juat enough direction changes qith water in play on moat holes.

Great staff.

I played as a single and on hole 4 came upon a 4 some qhom were waiting behind another foursome. I skipped hole 5 and there was no one in front of me. Finished 18 holes in 1 hour 48 minutes.

Uneventful and inscenic until hole 18 where you end at a marsh view. A couple areas of a good lake view but not really astounding.

Ranger Wanted

Course is in nice shape overall. Greens are smooth - not too fast. Only issue was the pace of play- played single behind a threesome that was super slow. Poor etiquette on their part for not letting me pay through.

Clubhouse under renovation?

Maybe my favorite

I know it’s out of the way, but worth it. The course is in great shape. The greens are quick, but fair. I’m most impressed by the water hazards. There are many, and they come into play to challenge you. The design of the course lets a long hitter or high handicapper clear the water with a good shot or get a penalty, as it should be. Take your time and enjoy this beautifully designed course.

My favorite golf course.

Don’t pass up a chance to play this exceptional golf course. For the first time golfer or low handicap player, this course will challenge you and reward you. The hazards, in particular the water hazards, are real, not just nice looking scenery. The greens are in great condition. I played during a light rain, so can’t comment on the sand traps. Come when you have time to enjoy an exceptional day of golf. It’s worth the greens fee.

Great layout, good condition

Very nice layout with challenging holes but fair. Some beautiful scenery on the river. The conditions were good considering that it’s been a tough spring for most of the courses.

Good location near the beach

Confusing start to our round, with clubhouse check-in noting we (2 players) were on our own, which we preferred. Then, when headed to the starting area, starter had us paired with two other players. Starter also noted that the course does not circle back to clubhouse after nine, so we should get food/drink if we'd like before we started (we had time). Unfortunately, the food service was poor (took a long time!), our orders were not correct when food received and staff was not friendly. Explained this to starter, and he was fantastic to work us back in and was super friendly. Course pace was very slow the front 9, but improved the back nine. Greens were difficult and fairways were in average condition. We enjoyed our day, despite the hiccups, and the course was close to our beach rental. However, if we return to the area, would probably select a different course.
