Lochmere Golf Club

Was there today. 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!

First of all, the lady tried to charge me $20 to have a ride-a-long who wasn’t even playing. Got backed up on the second hole and although there were many friendly players letting me play through, the course was flooded with people resulting in it eventually getting backed up to four carts waiting on a single tee box. The rough seems like it hasn’t been trimmed in half a year as well.

In fairness to them, it did rain 24 hours earlier, but you would hope the course could drain that time. Let's just say it didn't and the course was a swamp. I wish I had known earlier, but you live and learn. If it rains within 24 hours, Lochmere is a no go.

Enjoyed playing here with my son. Some interesting holes with bunkers and water in play. Would probably play from the blues next time through.

Great course to play. Great for beginners through advanced.

Between the cold and the abundance of leaves on the course, what is usually an easy course wasn't so easy.

Pace of play was OK, we had to wait on a few holes. Greens were a bit slow but were in good condition. Price was more than I expected.

Beautiful course. It was very wet due to a large amount of rain recently, but played well and is beautiful.

hard to find balls under leaves... the course was not clean due to lots of leaves on ground... it took longer to find balls!!!
