Lochmere Golf Club

I cannot recommend this course. It is always a soggy mess, which is a shame because it’s in a great location. I’ve played there 3 times, always wet, cartpath-only, and I wouldn’t consider the staff very friendly.

Yesterday, we enjoyed our cart dying on us on number 14, which made it even more frustrating. We had to wait 15 min to get a new cart.

There are much better choices in the area.

Lochmere is a very picturesque golf course. I live all the challenging water features. It's a great location and a great value.

I really hope they get this course out back together before summer. It’s normally very nice but currently it’s unplayable. We had a little rain but the fairways were like swamps.

I like Lochmere. Challenging but not overly difficult. Course is in low lying area, so had to do cart path only, despite no rain for several days. Greens in great shape.

After heavy overnight rain, the course was very wet, and, of course, cart path only. When I arrived at the course the other players either had already teed off, or had not yet arrived. I was given the option to wait for the other players, or just go out by myself as the course was almost empty. I went out by myself and finished in under 3 hours. It was very nice to be given this option. Thanks

I like to play the Lochmere golf because it's a nice little golf not too far from our house in Apex. The winter condition are pretty tough at this course since there it's drains very poorly. Although the greens where nice, the fairways are in rough shape and muddy in many location. I recommend walking this course. If you take a golf cart, make sure you have a partner to share it with otherwise they will try to force you to share your cart with a stranger that plays on your tee-time... I complained and they let me drive my cart alone last week but that was a big surprise that they would even consider forcing me to share a kart with a stranger with COVID still around.

Very wet, had a cartpath only rule for the cart. Poor fairways and tee box conditions, nice greens is the best I can say. Won’t play here again unless drastic improvements are made

Hated that I had to give up my cart and share another person's. Covid is still raging and to put together 2 unknown in close proximity for several hours ( 5 hours actually) is irresponsible. Pace of play was really slow due unusually higher number of walkers - who probably decided against the cart option for the same reason. It does not make sense as there were a huge number of carts available. This is a show stopper for me. I never want to share cart again and there never will play at Lochmere again.

Great layout and range. Course doesn't drain well and fairways can be soaked days after it rains.

Overall everything was fine. It was stacked up when we got there. It was cart path only so the pace of play was slow. We drove the cart down to the starter and handed him our receipt. He let us know it would be a few minutes before we teed off and suggested we practice putting or chipping in the practice area behind us. We turned the cart around and drove back to the practice area, pulling the cart off the path to let others go by. The area was dry where I parked. A few minutes later the ranger drove up YELLING “cart path only” and got in our cart and moved it. I apologized and told him I forgot. He kept running his mouth, I apologized again. As he drove off he yelled all four tires on the path from now on with a serious attitude. All he needed to say was “sir, its cart path only today, please keep all four tires on the path” when I apologized he should have said. It’s fine, enjoy your round. Here’s the irony...when we got to the first green...the starter drove up to the guy they paired us with and told him to take a few clubs with him when he’s walking out to his ball so that he doesn’t have to go back to the cart for a different one. He then turned his cart around in the wet fairway near the apron on the first green. Hilarious!

This is a course with great potential if they can ever find a way to redo the drainage. Fairways are incapable of drying out after even the slightest rainstorms. It has been a soggy mess for years and that ruins what can be a fun round of golf every time.

Great course but if it has recently rained the course does not drain well

The staff was fantastic, I forgot that GolfNow only charges a booking fee, and didnt bring my wallet (left the house too quickly), so I paid with a bunch of singles. Staff working the front desk was super cool about it. The course is nice, but has a bit of a draining issue. Very walkable, good for when its cart path only (see draining issue). What you see is what you get on this course. I will definitely be giving this place my business in the future, primarily because the staff was great, but also because its a fun, not too challenging course. Cheers to the staff at Lochmere!
