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.

Fun course.Greens a little thin.

I like the layout of this course. Combo of not so hard and challenging holes. Had a foursome in front of our two some. They were hitting a lot of shots. Had 2 holes open in front of them and never waived us up. We finally skipped a hole. Greens were thin on grass but still rolled true.

Good Layout, Poor Conditions

Played a round here on a Sunday Afternoon. We were the only people on the course, so the pace of play was great. Driving range and putting green are nice too. Fairways and rough were decent, but the greens were terrible. Lots of dead spots and they were extremely hard, almost like concrete. The bunkers were either fine or extremely hard, packed sand. The $52 we spent was likely more than I’d pay to play here again unless they fixed the greens. Fun course with lots of potential, but the greens and bunkers need work.

I have played here about 4 times recently. Cart paths are desperately needing repairs. Badly broken up. Greens are needing attention quickly. They are on the threshold of loosing some greens. Pace of play is generally good. One round was played behind a group of women. 3 hours for front 9. Fortunately they were only playing 9 holes. No beverage cart several times. Beverage cart cannot take credit / debit cards.

Extremely slow play…and clubhouse didn’t care.

First, paid for four golfers on golf now, only three were able to go. Clubhouse wouldn’t give gift card for the one round. Guy said he didn’t know how to do that.

Then we quit after 11 holes. 3hrs 15 mins at that point. 5 groups on one hole, number 10. It was awful.

Called pro shop and they said they didn’t know if the ranger was there but if he was he would send him out.

We won’t be back…

Very Nice course

Everything about the course was great but we were told had ten minutes between the next start and that did not happen so in turn the next party was hitting into us constantly.

Pace of play was excruciating. Women in front of us were so slow. When I called the club house and asked for a Marshall to speed them us, they had no one to send out. No beverage cart. Only water was at halfway house. Drink machine didn't work.

Could use work

Some of the greens were patchy with growth. Lots of slow members in front of us (I assume they were members). Very nice layout and a challenging course.
