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.

Golf day

First time playing this course this year. The fairways were in excellent condition as well as most of the greens.

Even though I found too many sand traps, our foursome had an enjoyable day on this beautiful course.

Lockwood folly

It was Memorial Day and the flags were small US Flags. There were holders off of every green to hold the pin so it would not touch the ground. The group in front of my twosome let us play through on #5. I asked them to use the holders provided and to please not put the flag on the ground. They apologized profusely and told me they wondered what those red things were for on every green. We let a onesome play through on #7 and I reminded him also to please use the flag holder when he removed the pin. Both of these other groups said that the pro shop nor the starter mentioned the flag holders to them. They didn’t mention it to me either but I am a veteran and knew how to treat the flag. I was very disappointed in this lack of instruction.

Several of the greens were in a sad state of repair with many bare or sanded spots and they were all very very slow for Bermuda greens. Fairways were in pretty good shape for this time of year. Overall an OK course..

Play it for yourself

We read the reviews before booking a tee time. But decided to go check the course out for ourselves. We had a great time playing Folly. Pretty challenging course if it's your 1st time. Yes, some of the greens need a little TLC but what course doesn't have that problem. I will be coming back asap.

Not worth the drive

Sad to see this fine layout crumbling due to lack of care. Fairways are thin and greens should be rated as mostly under repair. Greens do not roll well and have lots of weeds and dead spots. Many had extensive sand and repair spots. Oddly, the many bunkers are in reasonably good condition - they have more depth of sand than many courses in the Ocean Isle Beach or Calabash area. But I cannot recommend the course anymore - it is in worse shape than any of the others I've played in the area.

Great course

Lockwood folly is a great course. The layout is challenging with sand a water in the right places. The course is lovely winding through the residential neighborhood.

Rough shape

Greens were not in good shape, sand traps were sometimes full. You can tell they owners have not spent any money on the upkeep of this course

Fun course with interesting layout. Fairways in decent shape for time of year. Greens punched recently but pretty good shape for punched and early in the season.

So so

This is a $50 golf course. Fairways ok, but major poanna on periphery. Greens were iffy as per previous reviews. I kinda liked the layout. Front nine took over 2.5 hours to play, but all the locals quit after 9 holes and we played the back in 1.5 hours. Doubt I come back. Not terrible, just not great.

Holden Beach Visitor

This is the closest course to Holden Beach. Staff is very nice and course is in OK condition but greens were in less than desirable condition overall. Many had threadbare spots and they were recently aerated. I wasn't told beforehand. Pro Shop also pretty much devoid of merchandise.

Greens are Deplorable

Greens were in n horrible condition. One even had a mole track all the way across it. Was planning to have a drink after our round but at 5:00 the grill and bar were already closed

Disappointing again

I checked a week prior to playing and the greens were fine. We played a week later and they were plugged and sanded making putting impossible, which made the day disappointing. The layout is nice, fairways were ok, but as I said greens a problem. We need to always check as this plugging has happened before

Lockwood folly played last week of April

Booked a twosome on Saturday morning at 9:30 and we were paired up with another twosome. The pace of play was quite good and as always, the people we were paired up with were quite nice.

Some of the common areas adjacent the tee boxes in fairways could use some attention, but other than that it was a great day for golf.

Greens had just been aerated but no one or the website advised of this. There were spots on several fairways that had dirt patches.
