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.

Save your money
If you like dry conditions, little grass, much dirt, terrible tee boxes, painful pace of play and ok greens then play here....otherwise pick another course....but not Falls Village!
Good time!
This is a good course for the beginner or the advanced player. I always enjoy playing at Lochmere. I will warn that if it has rained within the couple of day before your round the course grounds get very wet and take a while to dry out!
Bad conditions
Tee boxes have no grass .most fairways are mud or hard pan . No fun hitting from bad lies in fairway. Getting too late to blame the Weather.will avoid this course!
Great time.
Excellent course. The staff was friendly and the course had the best greens I have putted on for years.
Cow Path
This place is dreadful. Fairways are barren, not brown grass, no grass. Tee boxes full of weeds, no water cups, no tees on cart, no bag people. Slow, slow, slow. Do not play. Can’t believe this is a Club Corp facility. Literally worst course I have ever played.
Play elsewhere
If you would have asked me about Lochmere 2 years ago, I would have said that you MUST play there and it's a great public course. I played the course last night for the first time in about two years and I can tell you that I do not think I'll be back anytime soon.
I experienced friendly service, but that's a given. What I also did experience were poor course conditions. The fairways were basically dirt and mud. A golfer would have more luck hitting it out of the rough. Course was brown, brown, brown. When I played it the last time I don't remember it being like that. For spending that kind of money on a week day I'd expect much better conditions.
Not great...or good
Course is obviously suffering from a lack of rains/watering but to hit fairways and still be playing off of a sand or hard mud surface was a little frustrating.
Play pace was slow - don’t think this was VFM
Unfriendly starter
No group in the immediate hole behind us (4 in my group) and definitely none ahead of us but still We were Made to skip the 14th. No other group was behind or ahead of us after the round. We finished in about 4hrs and 15 minutes.
Old time shotmakers course! Harbor Towne feel.
Great Course. 2.75 for a Cup of Warm Coffee is Unsat. I bought Me and my golfing partner a large bucket of balls to warm up on range. Balls cost me 24 dollars for 2 buckets! I feel this is unsat! If I came just to hit balls and practice that's okay. But if I came to play on the course I would say 6 bucks for a large bucket is cool. A lot of courses give you a small bucket because you choose to come and play their course and they know you had other options/choices. Nice Course and one more thing....Course is played a lot and a lot of spots on fairways are hard packed soil due to carts being used on fairways. This course does not drain very well.
Too dry
Courses was very dry (too dry) would like to play again when there is green grass
great price
Lochmere for $13, one could play 18 with a cart. The greens were good but there was very little grass to hit off from, mostly dirt but for the money it was a fun experience.
Nice layout, will be better when fairways fill in
Played as a single on Monday morning, so not a problem with pace of play. Greens in great shape, but fairways are still dormant and thin. Still, a good round
Decent course for the money
Always enjoy playing at Lochmere. Course is in decent shape. They always struggle with flooding and some of the greens still have tarps over them. Wouldn’t pay full price but hot deals make it worth it
I’ve seen better
Course was really bad in that the fairways seem like they had experience a monsoon or mudslide. The greens were better but left much to be desired especially for the price.
Poor Course Maintenance and Mgmt Rushed Us
Disappointed in the course condition, then had the Marshal rushing us throughout the round. Will not be back.
Great course - bad conditions
It was our fault. Raining for days before, the course was in, well not the best condition. Had fun, but the un-fairways challenged us every hole. We will be back because it is a great course, it just needs the sun to shine more than it did on our day.
