Lochmere Golf Club
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.

Nice greens, but that is about it.
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.
A bit wet
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.
Fall Golf
I know it’s fall golf and leaves are inevitable but there’s an insane amount of leaves in the fairways and on the greens. Very easy to lose a ball even when hit down the center of the fairway. Took 10 minutes to clear leaves out of your line for putting because the greens were covered in leaves and sticks. The course was in great shape other than that and the greens rolled true. Just need to get someone with a blower out there.
Greens were in good condition
The Greens were in great shape with the big usage. Carts had to stay on the paths due to heavy rain last week. A bit muddy, bring a towel.
Pace of play a problem
The past 3 times I have played here I have had 5+ hour rounds. This time the course was wet and cartpath only, but we still didnt tee off until 20 minutes after our tee time and played over 5 hours. We were still paying the full rate basically which was honestly unacceptable.
It is a shame because I like the layout of the course and there arent too many public options in the area. The course drains pretty poorly and will stay wet days after rain. Greens and fairways minus the water were still in pretty decent shape.
I think I am going to pass on playing here for a while because I just cant get over their tee time management. They need to spread these tee times out and stop being greedy with slamming the tee sheet
Very Disappointing Round if Golf
We had 3 groups waiting ahead of us at our scheduled tee time. The course was slushy with very poor drainage after heavy rains a couple of days ago. It was cart path only, and very slow groups ahead of us. The ranger attributed it to the course conditions, so, nothing could be done about it. There was nobody at bagdrop and no one to let first time guests know where to go. The front nine took 3 hours. So, our entire foursome left after 10. We were very disappointed.
Great course, horrible pace
Beautiful course, great layout and greens. A little wet even though it has not rained in a while. Pace of play was terrible, didn’t even finish 18 as I didn’t want to spend 5+ hours playing. Finished 12 holes in 3.5 hours.
Nice Greens
The greens were rolling nice. The bunkers were well maintained. The fairways however were very soggy in places even though it hadn’t rained lately. Pro shop has some great deals on clubs and clothing. I will let players know Vokey wedges on sale for sure.
Drainage
We haven’t had major rain in weeks but this course is always muddy. Need to remove the leaves as well. Hard to find balls even in fairway. Greens were very nice. Sand in good shape
Great
Course tends to be overbooked most days. However pace was not too bad. Course was in good condition. Will play again.
Wet wet wet
Love this course but its always so wet and usually cart path only. Most likely the last time I play here as other local courses seem to fit my needs better.
Got lucky!
Rained all morning until we teed off, no one in front of us or behind us, a little soggy because of weather but it was allot of fun. Greens were nice.
They kicked me off the hour before my tee time for a weekend tournament
Don't know if this is on GolfNow or Lochmere. Either way, super upset about it.
Could not play because of golf tournament. I drove there and was told when I got there I could not play. Waited too long to email me.
Greens on point
First time playing this course. Muddy in places(light rain 3 days prior) and quite a few leaves on the fairway made it hard to find our balls off the tee. A little tight on a few holes but the greens were in excellent condition. Would definitely come back and play again but not within a weeks time if rained.
Slow Pace of Play, Beautiful Conditions
The staff was quite friendly and attentive. The driving range and practice facilities were quite nice.
The course was in good condition. The bunkers were all in excellent shape. We found the greens in good condition and putts rolled smoothly. Most found the speed was slow.
The only drawback was the pace of play. Well over 4+35 to play 18 holes and we waited on a number of holes for the groups in front of us.
Great, quick round but very wet course.
Had a great time and round of golf at Lochmere today. Tee area and fairways were very wet (cart path only) but greens are in fantastic condition. Pace of play was great also!
Back 9 picturesque
Nice people at Check in. Back 9 prettier. Very walkable. Definitely worth playing.
