Rating 72.1

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.

Course is in very good shape considering all the rain we've had recently. The greens were top dressed with sand the day that I played. They were rollling.well and should be perfect in a week or two.

Ruin by Maintenance

This is a great course overall. But the maintenance crews are very rude, disrespectful, and loud. This is the second time this week playing the course to have maintenance crew to ruin shoots and slow down play because they drove on the tee box or green while people we’re ready to take their next shots. They don’t shut down their equipment. They drive close to golfers while they are hitting or putting and the noise is deafening. Today there was a group on the green, a group in fairway hitting and we were waiting on the Tee box waiting to hit. The maintenance guy drove his tractor with his load noise around and around the guys on the fairway then proceeded back to tee box to drive around and around while we were teeing off. It’s distracting and caused some to lose focus and strokes. The course gets 3 stars mainly for this. Distracted golf is not good.

Great Course

The course is great especially from the Ladies tees. The maintenance people are very rude and disruptive to players. We were backed up seriously with 3-4 groups. The maintenance people were cutting in the tee boxes, fairways, and on the greens. In the fairways with people standing waiting to hit on the tee, the maintenance guys drove boldly interrupting play. While on the tee or on the greens they cut on the boxes with the noise and disruption. It was very distracting and rude. They stop for some and not for others. They slowed play down significantly. There was no golf ranger on the course.

Repeat issue

Pace of play has been very slow both times I’ve played. This past time there were at least 4 different groups booked for the same exact tee time, yet none were able to start on the back 9?

Good Course Layout

Good course, not overly long. Tight tree lined fairways with swift creek running throughout. Course was aerated recently and very sandy on the greens but they marked down tee time prices to reflect that. Good mix of variety on the holes and dog legs.

Only main complaint is the course has a major drainage issue. Don’t play if it’s rained within the last 2 days!

Normally nice ... not this time

So what do you say about a 4 1/2 hr round in 90 degree heat without ever seeing a ranger AND realizing when you arrive that the pro-shop somehow neglected to tell you that they had recently punched the greens making them, basically, unputtable? When I asked why we weren’t given warning about the conditions the answer I got was ... wait for it ... “well I guess we thought everyone knew”! Really? So much for being treated like a paying guest. Played this course many many times, but this might have been the last. Truly pitiful customer service. Horrible golfing experience.

Will be back

One of the nicest courses around. Beautiful greens and well worth the $32 we paid for the round! Fun course. Pace of play was slow as they were packed and running well behind.

All in all will be back many many times!

They didn’t have our reservation

Showed up at the course after paying Golfnow $10 for a booking fee 3 days in advance. The course didn’t have our tee time on the books. Highly disappointed in Golfnow.
