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.

Poor pace of play

Course was in good shape. Not a very difficult track. For having a starter out there hounding you for your ticket, you would think they would keep people on time for their tee time and keep up pace of play. That is not the case. Except a long round.

Great experience

Had a 9:30 tee time on a Friday so I was expecting it to be backed up. Ranger kept the groups moving and we were done in 4 hours. That was with a walker in our group as well.

Staff was incredible. The GM, Corey was very attentive and helpful to his staff at the turn which isnt always something you see at other courses.

Tough but fun course!

The only issue was pace of play. More “bros” out there made things a bit slow but to be fair it was the Sunday after Hurricane Ian hit Friday.

Great Experience

The tee time was last minute. I got there late. I'm was in the area on business. I walked in the clubhouse and the guy working in the pro shop was very cooperative. The course was pack but he got me in. I ended up playing with 2 members and we had a blast. The course was in great shape. I would definitely recommend it to friends.
