Lochmere Golf Club
About
Located near the banks of Swift Creek, Lochmere Golf Club has plenty of water incorporated into the layout, coming into play on nearly every hole. The golf course stretches across a lush, gently rolling landscape sprinkled with mature trees and ponds. The terrain showcases the best in Triangle golf. At just over 6,600 yards it is not particularly long, but it provides plenty of challenges. It is a tight course that will test your accuracy with narrow fairways lined with trees. The small greens that are heavily protected by well placed bunkers demand thoughtful strategy and pinpoint control. The golf course offers a fair challenge but it is still accessible for beginners, especially from the forward tees. Lochmere G.C. is a favorite among Cary locals, both for its enjoyable design and its affordable rates.

I've been playing Lochmere and many others in the Raleigh area for over 30 years. I'm that time I have observed many a team, in the business of golf.
There is no better collection of people running this show!
From the cart cleaners to da big boss; you will get nothing but friendly, courteous, professional service!
Brent and Corey are absolutely top shelf. They try hard and succeed at engaging membership with fun interesting competitions, including this non -member!!
If I were in charge of managing this group; is give them everything they ask for and a big whopping raise!!!
The staff at Lochmere are hands down, the best in the land!!!
Nice local course with room for improvment
I have played Lochmere several times. It is a straightforward course. It was in fair shape; The greens had a light top dressing of sand on them but not enough to really affect play. The fairways were still trying to fully grow in and with the significant dry weather the entire course needed water, like the others in the area. Many of the tee boxes needed some attention as well. Overall, the course is fun. Tee time prices are a little high given the caliber of the course. The staff is very friendly and helpful. An issue I seem to encounter almost every time I play is the rude nature of other golfers. Not a lot of etiquette around.
Nice
Nice layout but not overly challenging. Fairways and tees in fair condition. The greens were good. Overall I had fun which is the goal!
It was so busy, I did not play
I putted for over an hour waiting for a gap in starters to start but there were always 3-4 carts lined up to start. Eventually I just gave up & went home. Did not want to spend 6-7 hours on the course. THEY SHOULD NOT OVERBOOK
Where's the "Old" Lochmere?
What in the world has happened to Lochmere? I remember lush fairways, true rolling.greens and smooth cart paths. I don't know where the money's going but it such isn't maintenance. What used to be a golf challenge now has become a puffed out, snobby joke. I have known and played the course for over 25 years and I've never seen such deplorable conditions. Even the men's restroom was a mess. Tell your BOD to get off their buttocks and focus on the golf course and not on the reputation

Amenities Needed to upgrade urgently
Bathroom on the course is falling down, cleaning issues, golf cart ball and club washer never filled with water as well as on each hole ball washer
Nice and friendly environment
I did my first Eagle on this course so I will be back:-)
Not worth the price.
Staff seemed friendly. Not a $60 course even though I did get a discount and got it cheaper. Cart path only so pace of play was slow. Course wasn’t that wet, so not sure why CPO. I could see CPO on some holes, but most holes were pretty dry. Nice lay out on the course. Not enough grass this time of year. Might be a great course when grass comes in. As for now not worth it. Food seemed a little high for me. $11 hotdogs seems ridiculous.
First time.
We had maybe 1.5 inches of rain and after a full day of sunshine the fairways were still waterlogged. I plugged two drives in the middle of the fairway. Tee boxes were just as wet. What happens when a real storm comes?
Greens were also very slow when I played. Probably a 7 on the stump. Was hard to adjust.
I’m sure it’s a pretty course when it dries out and the leaves are green. It was a very nice day and still enjoyed the walk.
Lochmere Wednesday
First warm day in long time so very crowded. Really slow on back nine. Course was pretty wet as usual so cart path only which did not help speed.
Thaw Out Round
Was great to play after recent snow! Tx Lochmere :)
