Lochmere Golf Club

Fun course to walk. Driver isn’t necessary except for a few holes. If you can shape shots well, then this is for you. Two things to note; greens are inconsistent in speed. Lack of water drainage hurts the course in some spots.

Have played Lochmere several times and like the course layout. Not too long and some fun holes. Big issue with the course is it does not drain well. You pretty much need several weeks of dry weather before a round to avoid puddles and mud.

Fairways were so wet, never found a dry spot to hit from. Surprised the course was open. Hadn’t rained for a couple of days, so Swampmere obviously doesn’t drain or dry out well. Stopped after nine because of condition. Will only play here again if no rain for 2 weeks prior.

It’s appropriately named. Not a dry spot on this course.

This course has potential but if it rained in the few days before your tee time it’s going to be muddy and not a great time. Staff is friendly and they have just about all you need minus the driving range which is closed if it’s wet.

After receiving 3” of rain prior to playing the course, especially the fairways were like a swampland. Play should have been suspended so the course isn’t ruined for the season. Standing water all over, every fairway.

Green are really nice and staff (especially Starter) were friendly. Just hate that this course stays so wet and they have to bring out the “Cart Path Only” sign.

Staff is incredibly nice and accommodating. Course is challenging and fun enough for all skill levels of golfers. For the weather that we have had in the last couple of months, course was in much better shape that I have seen most courses in the Triangle.

Reasonable course. Should not be more that $50. Doesn't drain well. Soggy in some spots. Edges of fairway bare in a few spots. No other option in Cary for the public

There is a reason it gets nicknamed "Swampmere". I played on a perfect day for weather but the course was mud. Fairways were winter time so they were dormant (which is expected) but even in the middle of the fairway you were basically hitting off of packed mud. Not worth the money.

I am an average golfer but it is a tight course with lots of water and trees lining all the holes. Hit them straight or play somewhere else.

Unfortunately, the course was still wet from rain the week before..

Lochmere is a great course and easy to walk if you're a walker. When playing during the winter with lots of rain - it is a wet course and doesn't drain well when the plants/trees and grass aren't growing. That said, generally the fairways do drain well - and the greens are phenomenal. The day we played (Feb 2022) it had just rained the day before and it was wet in spots on the fairways. The greens were in great shape. Nice, fast and true.
