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.

Lochmere doesn’t care about the golfers.

Lochmere was very slow, no starter and they had people cutting down trees in the middle of course during the middle of the day. This was very disruptive to golfers and the course has no concern about golfers. They allow their maintenance people to rudely get in the way of customers who paid to pay. Plus the greens were aerated but no one told the golfers nor any notice on golf now. It was an unpleasant round.

Member friendly

I had the pleasure of being paired with one of Lochmere's member and what a round it was. Jim was both courteous and helpful throughout the round. Fantastic fairway lies, the greens were just right and the rough was reasonable . I probably had my best round ever at the course because of him. Will return, and hopefully Jim will be there again.

Great Day

The course was in good condition in spite of recent rain. The pace of play was very good considering it was a weekend and cart path only conditions. We will definitely be back!

Outstanding day

I've played Lochmere before but, never have the conditions been better. Fairways allowed for great distance and the greens were the best I've ever experienced there. Please, keep up the good work. Also, thank you member Jim. Playing with you was like having a caddy with me. Will return soon!

Surprisingly quick round

With rain looming and a holiday weekend, the course was not as packed as normal. Turned nines in 100 minutes. Rain shortened the back 9 as we were able to go out 10-12 and back in 16-18. This course fits my game as it is short, but penalizes bad shots.

Staff here is really great. Greens roll pretty well. Bunkers in play all over and I think I found them all today. I have played here three times and have yet to score, but I think I can if I avoid the unforced errors.

I recommend this course, but if you are one that rarely finds a fairway, it will be a long day. A brook runs through the woods, so an errant shot is not just a simple play from the trees, but a red stake.

Beautifully landscaped course

This was my second round at Lochmere and I’ll probably play there again. I played there on a Tuesday morning at 11:40 and there were very few slow downs in the pace of play. The course is very well landscaped with several small lakes featuring mallard ducks and a heron. The course is in good condition, the greens were in good shape and it was challenging enough for me. If I had any criticism it would be that the course is somewhat flat. I enjoyed playing there.
