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.

This isn't Pebble Beach guys!

Well after debating with the manager about my attire ( shirts with collers requirements) and even though he admitted that the pros are wearing the same attire I was wearing. I was permitted to play. PLEASE NOTE: I was wearing the same Under Armour shirt that I wore last time I played there and no problem. Any way, aside from the extremely slow play ( with no ranger in site) we finally finished a 5 1/2 hour round. The members act like gods and will NOT let you through. REMEMBER... IT'S THEIR WORLD OUT THERE AND YOU'RE FORCERD TO ABIDE. NEVER AGAIN!!!

Nice track layout.

Lochmere is a great public course. So, getting a tee time is hard. Now, the course itself? Greens had just been sanded, so not easy to hold the ball from fairway shots. Putting was true to the read. Fairways in good shape, lot''s of rain before we played so very lush. Now the rough? Watch out. Tough to get out of it when off the fairway. Oh yeah, stay way from going over, better to be short than long. Load up on ice and water. Club house has it ready.

Great Course

This course was fairly challenging and in great condition, All the staff were friendly and the greeter did an excellent job of filling us in on course conditions. Easy location to get to from the Raleigh-Durham area.

Great course/ Done with GolfNow

Course is in great shape and much improved from a few years ago. However there was a terrible forecast and wanted to change my tee time but could not because of GolfNow Hot Deal restrictions

We played most of the round in rain and often times pouring rain. I will be deleting the GolfNow app and never using it again

Good for the Price

We played on a heat advisory day when it was cart paths only and the greens had been sanded, so not ideal conditions. But we still had a fun day and the staff was helpful and friendly.

There was a lot of rain the night before. Course doesn't drain particularly well & play was cart path only.

Several tee boxes were in desperate need of repair, little to no grass.

The Grill still has the Best burgers & years ago used to be cheap. Now, fairly costly for a golf course grill.
