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.

Pleasantly surprised

In spite of heavy rains recently, the course was in very good shape. Greens were a tad slow, but very puttable.

The areas off fairway need some good old fashioned clean up. Lots of debris, fallen branches, stumps, etc, have not been removed since I last played the course.

Needs help

It hadn't rained in two weeks. Course was still muddy in spots. So you are pretty much safe it it hasn't;t rained in a while. Slow play all day (5hr. round) Two gentlemen wanted to be by themselves and walk. Starter allowed this on a Friday! Held everyone up.

The greens are immaculate! In fact, the fairways are also great. Rough is brutal. Definitely recommend this course.

Never play this course after it rains, it's a swamp and no fun, but when dry it is a great course to play.
