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.

First time
Nice short course from the whites so you can have a good time if not a pro. Lots of nice water features. Overall good value.
Always wet
Course is known for poor drainage. Rained within 24 hours so standing water everywhere. They must fix this chronic problem to compete. Also, don’t play on Monday. Maintenance traffic almost every hole,, very noisy and distracting. Just not a fun round.
Great golf/Very hot
A great day of golf . Teamed up with some millennials and had a great time. The "rounded" greens made it very interesting. The fairways were fantastic and specifically enjoyed the pace of play. NO waiting the entire round. A key suggestion. Either allow coolers or let's get some beverage carts out there. Some water would have been greatly appreciated. See you again.
Always delivers ...
We had the misfortune to end up behind a slow group, so pace of play was a bit painful, but we have been here plenty of times and everything else was as expected. Even with the slow group, we had a great time and the other folks at the course, including those behind us, were laid back and just enjoying a late T time going into the holiday weekend.
Quality in spite of COVID
Golfed many times at Lochmere, and the conditions of the course were superb today...in spite of the COVID situation. Nice addition with the Bluetooth speakers on the carts...made for a relaxing round, in spite of the slow pace of the group in front of us. Fairways are grown in nicely, and greens are in superb condition. Well done Lochmere...keep up the good job.
Great track
It was super wet after rain which is no fault of course. Water on nearly every hole. Very challenging. Staff isn't the friendliest would be my only knock.
Nice Day Out
Pretty Good
Front staff needs to give more information or needs to be more interested when someone says first time here. Saturday golf is busy but help a brother out.
Nice course Had Fun Thanks
A beautiful day
Every time I visit my son in Raleigh I play 2 courses, Lochmere was a terrific course. Great condition, good driving range and friendly staff. Really enjoyed my round. There was water on every hole so a real challenge keeping the ball straight..I look forward to playing this gem again
Great course for the money- but lots of gimmicks
Fun course. Greens rolled well and fringe and fairways were clean and well maintained. Short course though with several gimmicky holes that prevented using driver or “fair” approach shots
Better than expected
Greens were sanded but it’s that time of year. Pace of play,fairways and bunkers all better than expected. Got a special on GN and paired up with a couple nice guys. I will be back soon
Nice Course
Have only played this course twice, but it is very well maintained and a pleasure to play. Lots of fairly short par 4s with some narrow fairways and quite a few bunkers around the greens. The course rewards accuracy over shot length. My only minor criticism would be that the par 4s all start to look similar after a while. Highly recommended.
