Lockwood Folly Country Club

Pros

From the moment I arrived and met the backdrop staff, following up by meeting the front desk staff. Both gentlemen were exactly just that! Very friendly and accommodating and filled with information. The view upon your arrival is spectacular not just with the beautiful homes but the views of the waterway and the sound of the ocean in the distance.

From Tbox to green the golf course is in Fabulous condition and considering how hot it’s been lately the fairways were outstanding.

The beverage cart girl must’ve had five twins because I saw her about every 15 minutes. She was very friendly as well and a great conversationalist

At the end of my round I met the bar staff and they were a joy to talk to and quick to make sure your glass was full. I weighed it for nothing!

CONS

After the second hole I got stuck behind a threesome. An elderly member and his two grandsons. They decided to turn the golf course into a driving range and hit three or four balls on every hole. Most holes took 15 to 20 minutes to play. Considering I was on their tail ,not once did they even address me. They finally left after nine holes and I picked up another Group of members. They too would not allow a faster single to play through. I could see two open holes in front of them but they show no signs of golf etiquette. Their attitude is “it’s my golf course if you don’t like it leave.”

It’s a shame the members show no signs of golf etiquette.

I know some will say you should’ve just skipped the holes and came back. But that is not golf etiquette in any way shape or form.

excellent course and nearly empty of players in the afternoon. a bargain.

Thought the course was very nice. Good fairways and greens.

Year in and out a course in generally good shape with good pace of play.

Had a 1:40 tee time and played in 3.5 hours. Bunkers could use some sand but overall course was in nice shape.

Lockwood Folly is a great course with an awesome layout.

Staff was SUPER friendly!! Course was in good shape and the layout was challenging for sure. I would play it again! Thanks

Been a few years since I played here , really like layout , tees and fairways were in great shape but most of the greens were somewhat stressed , patches of “ burned out “ areas. Hopefully correctable for their sake , saved $20 per person using prepaid vs their course rate , probably only play at a discounted rate given current conditions.

We had to wait every shot. Course was nice but some of the greens need attention.

We have a house on Holden Beach, We live at Holden Beach 1/3 of the year, our name is on the GSI, we got married at Lockwood Folly last May, we have played golf at Lockwood Folly more than 50 times in the last 2 years. Yet we had to pay the “out of town” rate. It’s a nice course, but if we cannot get the resident rate because the lady in the pro shop said we were not “residents” we will just find elsewhere to play.

This course is a solid course. It is a short drive from Wilmington nc and we’ll worth it. There are black squirrels to boot! Good layout, good greens, and better views. A few holes have alligators and or waterway views. Would recommend!!
