Lochmere Golf Club

The course was very muddy. It was cart path only, and it was clear from tire tracks that people had violated that rule, which exacerbated the problem.

Entire course was water logged. Don’t play here during the winter

The drainage on this course is not good. Always wet. Especially on the back 9.

They need to suspend play until the ground has tightened / dried. It was a swamp. Nearly fell down on a couple of swings in the tee box. Greens and bunkers were in great shape, just needed hip waders to get there. Good course and in good shape mid summer. But far too wet to be very enjoyable right now.

Course was extremely wet/soggy with some fairways being so wet it was difficult to get to your ball. Greens are in fantastic shape! For some reason they removed the 150 yard markers from the middle of the fairways which I really do not. So PLEASE put them back.

They started late due to frost, but overbooked At 11am there were 8 people on the 1st fairway and another 10 lining up to play.

Highly recommend not going to Lochmere. I live right near it, so by nature it’s an “easy” option and I’ve played here probably 30+ times. But, it turns out poorly every single time. Course is always wet. They allow single cart riders, so there are never any carts. I’ve waited 45 minutes passed my tee time just for a cart. They book 8 minute tee times so you wait on every single shot. Absolutely zero management to help with any of these issues. This latest experience my tee time was pushed back an hour and fifteen minutes due to frost earlier in the day. Every other course I play gets rid of their 7:30 tee times this time of year for that reason. Not Loch...they simply want all the money they can get regardless of your experience.

Sad really, because the course is decent and has a nice layout. Won’t be playing again until something changes here.

It was a swamp. If it has rained in past few days, DO NOT play here.

Course is mediocre at best and layout is poor. Staff was extremely UNFRIENDLY and no off course amenities.

The greens are in great shape. The course was darn near under water everywhere, tee boxes, fairways, cart paths were flooded. Tough course to play during NC winters after some rain. I'm sure it shows much better in the summer. I would not want to play the course again till June.

I will highlight the one bright spot of this course, and that is the greens. If this were a par 3 course it would be awesome. The rest of the course is in horrible shape. It is like playing in a swamp. I took a drop for casual water at least 15 times. Every time I book a tee time here I think it will be a different story, and every time I vow to never play here again. I think yesterday will be my last.

To be playing golf in December is great. The course was pretty mushy after the recent rain and quite crowded but the staff is great and the greens are holding up nicely.
