About
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 condition
Birthday gift to family member, however
Course was overbooked t time was delayed 30 min, college tournament had been scheduled, course was cart path only, many walkers, front “9” played in 3 hrs., asked for rain check for back 9, and was. refused since I’d purchased special on line.
Nice round, but wet ground
Marked pace of play as excellent because my 4-some was playing at pace, but were not keeping up with group in front of us. Ranger asked us to pick up play. I thought that was appropriate and liked they monitored it.
Layout of course is nice, but flatter that some of the courses on the North side of Raleigh. Course was not in good shape, but I think that was due to time of year. Grass still dormant so often felt like I was hitting of dirt rather than grass.
Soaking Wet!
Due to recent rains the whole course was EXTREMELY wet and probably should have been closed.
Might be fun with drier conditions
Terrible conditions. They shouldn’t open the course if they can’t find a solution for the mud.
“SWAMPMOORE “
First off let me say ... the course should not have been open for play . Conditions were unplayable . It had rained the night before 1/2 inch . I called over said they were open cart path only . It was beyond wet . I understand but close and protect the course . Anyway , upon arrival I literally stood at the counter of 15 mins before the pro shop attendant “ bald guy tall “ might have been a manager , had his head up his @a#% , even acknowledged me . I had to say “excuse me “ is this where you check in ?
Yeah what’s your name ? Grab a key and go . Do I need a starter ticket ? Nah your good . Whatever . Played this course once before , forgot how bad it was !!!
Never again !!! The only silver lining is I had 2 others golfers that were very nice company .
Have to do something about pace of play
I want to love this course but after quite a few times of trying, it seems impossible to get a round completed in under 5 hours. The tee times are too close together and there is no ranger out on the course to encourage quicker play. The course is drying out and the greens are in good condition, but it’s hard to sit for 10 minutes between each and every shot.
Course is a mud hole.
It had not rained for at least a week, however, the course was almost not playable. Cart path only which is common for this course. Pace was ok. Greens are good.
But since this course is such a mud hole whenever there are any level of rains, I think they would be better off making a lake.
Course in bad condition
Played course while visiting Raleigh. Based on rating and reviews thought this would be a nice course. Apparently area must have had lots of rain, as the fairways and entire course was wet, muddy... definitely not worth the money we paid to play. Greens were in good shape, and fast. I would suggest looking elsewhere until weather get's better.
NC weather
No secret this has been the wettest winter in a while, the course was very soggy but that was expected. The course still played alright, and the greens are looking tight shouts to the to the crew out there. The staff was super friendly. Also, if you like brats you would be doing yourself a disservice by not getting one. I’ll be coming back for sure. Hit it hard!
Tee times should be honored. Groups of 4 should not be allowed to “squeeze in after 2pm”. It should not take 3.5 hours to play 9 holes.
Soggy course
Be aware that this course does not drain. The fairways and tee boxes are well after any rains. The greens and bunkers are in good shape but the fairways are almost unplayable.
