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.

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.
Friendly staff
Ed and crew do a terrific job here. Course is always in tip top shape and pace of play moves along. Lochmere has some great holes that challenge even the best players. This is my favorite course in the area. Highly recommend!
Good course, friendly staff
Lochmere is a good course to include in your rotation of courses around the Raleigh, Cary, Apex area. I always enjoy playing this course. You can't go wrong for the price.
Solid layout and friendly staff.
I was traveling through the area and rented clubs Taylormade M2s for $40, so that worked out well.
The fairways are pretty wide, but there is a lot of water and trees to contend with. It is fair, but you need to be aware that there are a few hazards out there that you can’t see!
Very enjoyable though, and POP of <4 hours.
Great walking course
This is a great course to walk and its pretty challenging , bunkers are in some tough spots and the hazards in play on 1/2 the holes. Its tight so you'll be hitting a few irons off the tee you'll kinda use every club in your bag if you play it right. Hey- its a fun course so go play it.
Ease of use
Ed Hanley does a phenomenal job at Lochmere. The course itself is always in great shape, the staff is friendly and helpful and the pace moves along. Lochmere never disappoints!
One of my favorite tracks in the area!
Course is a little rough but only cause of the time of year. And truth be told it’s not that bad considering. Staff is fantastic, driving range is the best I’ve seen in the area since moving down here last year. They actually give yardage! I’d be a member if it was cheaper than golfnow!
Lochmere a nice 1st day course
Decent layout but nothing spectacular. Nice golf holes some look and feel the same. Reasonable test from black tees with water in play. Very pleasant club house attendant who worked with my Golfnow booking. Great deal at $14! Would play again as a first day on a week long golf trip.
Slow play
Course in fine shape, but, despite ranger on duty, 4 1/2 hours to play. This with 90 degree cart rule.
Waited most every shot. Nice course, but did I mention slooooow.
Slow play
Took 2hr and 45 min to play nine holes. No starter or ranger. This is the third time it has taken over 2 and 1/2 hours to play nine holes. I live .5 miles from this course, and I love the course but not the rate of play.
Like a walk in a park
Course was in very good condition. It was a perfect early fall day weatherwise. Only negative was the sun was soooo bright that it was tough to see the ball, especially when in the rough with the hordes of fallen brightly colored leaves. BUt hats off to the Lochmere ground crew and staff for how this course has improved over the years! Fun day of golf!
Doglegs and water
This course has plenty of doglegs and water hazards. It was my first time on the course so playing with a local helped. The greens were rolling fast and plenty of run out on the fairways. Finding a ball on the edge of the fairway in the leaves was difficult but it's late November! Overall it was a great value via golf now!
