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.

Very nice layout

Friendly staff. I liked the hole layout. Greens were in good shape for this time of year. Green fairways which is great compared to other courses in the area. I would definitely play it again.

The layout was nice but the course wasn’t in very good shape. A lot of bare areas. The fairways were dormant because it was Feb. Hard to get club under the ball. The greens were good and consistent. Staff was very nice and attentive.

pleasant for the price

living in the area, since Spring 2022. First time here. the good: the greens! were spectacular and that is 70% of a course for me. quick and true. soft enough to hold high approach shots. the layout was nice - being the first time, some holes were tricky, can't wait to play it again. #18 was a great risk / reward finishing hole. The not so good: everything else was a little chewed up. Several tee box's were not level. there was some ground under repair. some fairways were very thin. Had a groupon for $42 plus taxes / fees, so at $45, it was good value. Would not want to pay any more at this condition. LOVED the layout. Played the BLUE tees, I am an 11. PLENTY of challenge at close to 6300 yards. White is too short, at ~5990. A hybrid combo would be wonderful, B/W combo around 6150 - pull 2 par 3's fwd and shorten that 400 yard par 4 on the back 9. Will be back.

Fun golf course

Played alone. I tried not to play up to the group in front and had no one behind me until I reached 18. Tees, fairways and greens were true. The rough was exactly that. Don’t go there. Everyone was very welcoming and friendly. For the price I couldn’t do better with this still high season. I look forward to my next trip back. Go Play Lockwood Folly!

Could be a great course but needs a little maintenance

The course had a nice layout and was interesting to play. It was starting to look a little worn out. Only issue I had was the tee box area needed better maintenance and markings.

Solid course, slow play

I’ve been meaning to play this course for a while and I’m glad I did. Great conditioning and greens rolled nice. I really liked the design and played well. Only issue is some of the black tee boxes were not level. We got stuck behind a slow foursome and barley made it in before darkness. Didn’t see a ranger. It took us about 4:45 to finish. Other than that it was a good day.

Best Condition in Years

We’ve been playing Lockwood Folly for years (35). The fairways and greens were in the best condition we’ve seen in a long, long time. Staff was super friendly. Cart guy, woman in pro shop! Both very nice. The cart paths have not been maintained which they might want to look at but I’d rather have the course in good condition than the cart paths.

Enjoyable round

The people working here were nice and attentive. Course was in nice shape. We got behind a foursome that really slowed our play. Ended skipping a hole because they didn’t seem interested in letting us play through. Other than that it was a nice round of ⛳️

Too much $$$!!!

Too much for the round. Pace was really slow 5hr for loop!! Course needs some updates. Lower the rate to $45, that’s justified… For $57 on hot deal reg rate is in the high $60s

Golf later

I have played Lockwood for a number of years but I have never experienced such a slow pace of play.

4 groups ahead of me was a geriatric 5 some. It actually was a 6 some but I think one of them was walking so slowly that he remained in the cart. The combined age of the players probably would put them before the birth of Christ. 3 of the groups behind them quit before the back nine. They were oblivious to their slow play and the frustrations that they caused. The course employees did not seem to care as several passed by in cart. Thus it was not golf now but golf much later.

Great time great course

Course was in great shape overall. Played as a single during the week and felt like I was by myself out there. (7:40am Wed Tee time). Even had a scramble tournament that started at 8am and I never ran into them nor them into me.

Greens were fast and but consistent. Only one or two looked like it had some rough patches.

Overall I had a great time. The staff was friendly and really made you feel like a member.
