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.

Lockwood

staff has changed, not very friendly, prices have increased. not favorable to those who are parttime residents. Just because they are the only course in Holden beach, worth going a few miles up the road plenty opition around Ocean Isle.

Very nice!

This was my first time playing LF. I took my 2 sons and we had a great time. The general consensus was that we’d definitely play here again. The pro shop staff was a pleasure to talk with and even the drink cart girl was very pleasant as well. Overall, A+.

Great pace of pmay

Three of us played Lockwood Folly about 2 week’s ago. We were the last group off just before noon. They were doing maintenance in the pm. Fairways were in great shape as well as most of the greens. A few thin spots on a few perimeters but it didn’t affect play. Some of the tee boxes could use some attention though. Overall I would rate the course 4.5. Pro shop staff and the starter were friendly and welcoming. You should have a good time playing the course.

Interesting course with some challenging holes.

Lockwood Folly is an enjoyable golfing experience. A number of holes demand accuracy off the tee as well as on approach shots. There are a number of dog legs to deal with that require definite accuracy off the tee. A driver is not always smart to use. Also the par fives are well guarded off the tee and on approach shots.

The course was in good condition.

Lockwood Folly is a welcoming course. Those that provide service are positive and very personable.

After the rain

We had to wait for a thunderstorm to pass which helped thin out the number of golfers. The course was in very good shape with only a few thin spots on the greens. Traps were wet, as expected, but in overall good shape. The starter was friendly and explained flag location and which holes were cart path only due to the rain. We are headed back in a day and expect the same conditions. You should enjoy this course, the grounds around the course add to the atmosphere.

Worth Playing

Course Layout is nice! Play one tee box back from what you usually do. Very quick turns can be confusing. Cart paths need to see some love.

However, we enjoyed it!

Excellent Value

Course conditions were really good and price was reasonable. Fairways and greens were in good shape and bunkers well maintained. Pace of play was excellent for our 3-some with a Tue, 1150 teetime. Challenging layout that requires some course management.

Fun in the Sun

Brutally humid when we played. Had the course to ourselves and moved perfectly until the last 3 holes - traffic jam.

Tight fairways and the greens were perfect.

Halfway house was closed - they should have told us and let us know before we teed off.

Beverage cart attendant was very nice - saw her 1x on front side and 3x on back side.

We saw several alligators and a lot of other animals on the course.

Well worth the greens fees.
