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.

Windy weather

Smooth true greens -rough around the edges

On a windy but dry day we played this challenging layout on the intercoastal waterway between Oak Island and Holden Beach NC. The greens were in excellent fairways too. Unfortunately you need an off road shock resistant vehicle for the cart paths. The off fairway areas are variable as you might expect. Unfortunately, even with an 11 AM tee time no food available on drink cart or half way house and food service shut down at 3 PM. Bring food if you have mid-morning tee time. I like playing this course and the staff is warm, friendly, and helpful. Greens were oustanding, if only the players would fix pitch marks and pick up they're feet when walking them!

My first round at Lockwood Folly

Greens were in very good condition. Fairways had several repair areas and foliage was thinning or bare in some spots. Overall, it was a great value for the $ on Golf Now, and I would definitely recommend this course to a friend. I look forward to playing there again.
