Lockwood Folly Country Club

We enjoyed our roundLockwtood Folly. Course was not busy so we got off early. Course conditions were average but the layout was very good with lots of variety. Sufficient tees for all levels. Area had just been thrpugh tropical storm so maintenance was behind schedule wirh speed of greens most noticeable. However, really enjoyed our round and would definitely play again when in the area.

I have had the privilege of playing this track at least ten times over the years that we have escaped to Holden Beach for our annual summer reset, and it remains a "Ship in a bottle" classic.

The staff is always friendly and helpful, the course is forevermore a classic layout, and always in great shape. She is challenging but not punishing, alwqys teasing you to take that chance..to cut the corner. Perhaps today is the day I can make it home in two on Number 10 (you can't). This course never disappoints. And the tale of "Lockwood's Folly" is a classic juxtaposition of ambition versus reality, much like the game itself.

We were greeted by the cart attendants. They were very nice and informative. They took the time to explain specific holes and challenges. The starter was just as friendly. As for the course, the greens seemed to be very slow, but there was a lot of rain leading up to the day of golf. The fairways and greens were in really good shape. Would definitely play this course again.

Nice course, well kept up with extremely friendly staff!

Greens, tee boxes, and fairways in excellent condition.

Rough and bunkers made things a bit challenging but tons of fun to play. Definitely coming back

Was really looking forward to a great experience. The pro shop employee was rude as well as the starter.

We had a slow pace of play which was ok, however the group behind us hit into my group several times.

Come to find out it was the starter and his group.

We were on vacation plus looking at a lot for sale.

Unfortunately this rubbed me the wrong way. Will not be back .

We’ve been coming to Holden Beach and playing Lockwood for more than 30 years. I have many fond memories of playing with my family, past and present. Lockwood is one of my favorite courses anywhere.

Third time playing this course. Staff was great. Very good course layout. Greens need work, very patchy. Unfortunately there was no beverage cart. This is a big miss, on a links course.

Overall, the course wasn’t terrible. The tee boxes were a little overrun by what looked like weeds, but was kept trim. The fairways were in great shape and even the rough was taken care of. The greens were decent but a lot were being repaired and fixed so they had some rough spots, especially around the fringes. Looking at pictures online, we chose this course expecting more scenery on and around the holes, especially being by the water. Unfortunately, only a couple holes gave you a decent view of the inland waterway. I enjoyed playing the course; but I did expect a little more for the average cost of a round. That being said, I am still really green with playing higher end courses, so my expectations may have been over the top.

Great course, excellent staff, awesome value for the money

Good layout. Good pace of play. Some greens are a bit sketchy

Lockwood Folly is a “Nice” Golf Course, that could use a little work. Carts do not have GPS, and No yardages on Sprinkler Heads, so you better have a Range Finder. Cart paths are beat up, and can be pretty bumpy at times. Golf Course is well maintained. Tee boxes, Fairways, Bunkers, and Greens are all in good shape.

Typical tree lines housing development course. But it has a good lay out. Fairway bunkers in the right places. Pretty challenging greens. Fairly fast. Overall a good place to play.

I would not play again on the weekend. Maybe during the week? Pace of play was terrible. I left after 9 holes I couldn’t wait like that.
