Rating 72.1

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.

Charlotte, NC

The course was too wet to play and there was a golf group of about 100 before us. They should have called me and told me that the course was just to wet to play on. First time playing there I could see that it was a really good course to play under better weather conditions. I will definitely go back when I'm in the area.

Good course

We paid less than forty for the round so was a good deal. Course conditions were OK coming out of winter but the greens look to have been aerated recently. Will play here again for the right deal.

Eroding away

It’s true that this course gets very wet if it has rained in the past month. The runoff ditches are eroding and in about 10 years it will overtake the property. The greens are good and the course is well maintained.

Good course, Overpriced

It’s a solid course, very flat and open. Makes it easy to walk, which it seems most people take advantage of. Only thing is I do not think it is worth the price at $45 I paid. Granted, it is January so I’m sure the course conditions are typically better, but I just cannot justify spending that money on this course in particular. Would much rather play a cheaper course that would be similar in quality or just paying a bit more for a nicer course.

Accuracy over Distance

Friendly staff. Challenging and Fun course even for a 13hcp like me. Water and/or creeks perimeter every hole so accuracy rewards over distance on a majority of holes. Will definitely be back again to see how it plays in the Spring/Summer.
