Lockwood Folly Country Club

A well kept course. **Make sure to grab drinks and snacks before you start, the turn is not at the clubhouse and there is no halfway house.

This southeastern NC course is located on the intercoastal waterway. Great layout, a mix of difficulty and some really good risk/reward holes made it a fun course to play. We were greeted as soon as we arrived, and the cart attendants and the counter person were personable and appreciative of our playing their course. The fairways and traps were in surprisingly good shape for the lack of rain that NC had in May. The greens, however, were another story. Many of them had some bare patches, and they were slower than most greens on similar courses in NC. It was sad that the greens were sub-par, because the rest of the experience was definitely above par. One suggestion to players - there is a halfway house at the turn that is not staffed, so prepare to subsist on bottled soft drinks at the turn. Still, was definitely worth the money, even with the greens issues.

So first off playing golf is better than not. This course needs some serious help. It’s pretty crappy. I doubt I will play it again. Rivers Edge is much better.

The course is challenging and set up well. The greens were very poor. I would play here again. The cost was reasonable on GolfNow.

Fairways were nice, some greens had rough patches. Great layout and a lot of fun to play.

Off the beaten path a bit, but worth your while. In good shape, given the lack of rain in the area. What other reviews say about the greens right now are accurate. There are some spots in greens under repair that made putting difficult. Still in better shape than most other local courses right now. But, overall, a very scenic and picturesque course with a fair layout.

There were a few members driving around aimlessly and trying to bounce from hole to hole, which was the only annoyance for the day.

Wish they had a drink/snack cart on course as there is no way to get anything once you are out playing. Nice patio with a view for post-round cold ones.

Nice course in a very nice setting

Some repair being done y to o greens

Enjoyable Monday afternoon on an uncrowded Lockwood Folly course. Course conditions were commensurate with the price paid. Bunkers were well maintained. Greens are typical for this area... as usual watch the grain direction bc downgrain putts will roll out and upgrain putts are hard to hit hard enough. I like courses like this where the layout isn’t Herculean or where you can’t see how the hole plays, and everything is clearly marked, whether it’s 150 markers or tees having markers of the distance to a water hazard off the tee. Others complained about the paths but big deal, I’m paying to play a golf course not drive on ‘pretty’ paths. Thanks to the staff for taking care of me both in terms of hospitality and in terms of giving a nice golf now discount. I’ll be back.

Well taken care of course and a tough but fair course if you hit your shots.

We played in perfect conditions (80 deg; sunny, light winds). with 9:50 tee time. the course is narrow, with tree-lined fairways, and water on most holes. Challenging, but the variety of tees enables golfers of varying skill levels to be able to play. the only downside was an extremely slow foursome two groups ahead playing in a tournament that resulted in our 18-hole round completion time of 4:45 (we took no break at the turn).

It is a tight course, but great conditions. Most greens protected by sand, approach game needs to be dialed in to score well here.

Pretty much empty. Got there early. Cart attendant very friendly. Dan. Pro shop attendant provided adequate service. Think he should have suggested a purchase of range balls as I forgot and had to go back. I informed him that I had not played there in ten years. His response was that it was in great shape. And that the greens were great. That was definitely not the case. Sand traps were all raked and visually attractive, but they were very hard . Fairways for the most part were well maintained.. I found it odd that it was cart path only on the ninth hole with no apparent reason and my tee shot was mid fairway but there was a huge bunker with great length between the cart path and my ball. The quickest way to my ball was through the sand trap. No food/ beverage on the turn..Finishing hole was nice. To the parking lot. Met by another cart attendant who was very nice. Wanted to have a post round libation in their restaurant and was told that it was closed.
