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.

Great conditions!
Considering it’s the height of leaf season, the course was in excellent shape and leaves weren’t a problem for us. Thanks go to the ground crews for clearing the fairways of leaves. I played another local course a few days earlier and we lost several balls in leaf covered fairways. Makes the round more enjoyable and quicker when leaves have been cleared as they are doing at Lochmere. One tee box was under repair where we had to hit from a mat but it wasn’t a problem. They are clearly investing in improving their product for the players which is nice to see. Greens are in great shape.
Lochmere is a solid choice
This was my first time visiting Lochmere. The immediate vibe I got was that the people here take their golf seriously. Lots of people on the range on a Tuesday. I was hooked up with a flat-belly and an retired FDNYC captain. We played from the same tees and we all had fun. The layout is a nice mix of challenging and easy holes; if any golf hole can be called easy! The course condition is in the top 80% of those I've played. Super friendly staff. If I lived around here, Lochmere would be on my Rota.
Great Course to Play
I was extremely pleased with the course and the amenities. Everything was right there from the momment I chalked in
As usual, a nice day on the course
We've not had a ton of rain recently so the course was in very good condition (Lochmere is in the Swift Creek watershed and can flood easily). Greens as always were running at a good pace and very well maintained. Pace of play was very good. Fair warning - this isn't always the case, but post COVID that's true EVERYWHERE. I've always found the staff super friendly. Clubhouse is somewhat pedestrian (but always kept very presentable). Bottom line - have played before plenty of times, will continue to come back.
Nice course
2nd time playing this course, good course, nice greens. Pace of play was slow though, 18 holes in 4 hrs and 25 minutes is not great. Overall enjoyed the course.
Great to be back
Haven't been to Lochmere in a couple of years. Last time I played, it was overbooked regularly and pace of play was always slow. It was great to see a starter on the 1st tee as well as his frequent laps to ensure pace of play continued as you would hope.
Greens and fairways were excellent!
The course was in great shape
