Lochmere Golf Club

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!

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.

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.

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.

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!

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!

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.

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.

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.

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!

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!

Always a pleasure to play Lochmere when it is in decent shape. Right now, the greens are still in good shape, the rough is tall, and the fairways are firm. Aside from the course management niceties that get missed when you have a lot of novice golfers playing ( sandtraps unraked, ball marks not fixed, etc ), this is a fun course to walk and play. AND, they have some awesome deals on merchandise in the pro shop.

Tight course

Tough rough lost many balls that should be easily found

Overall hit in fairway csn score well

Golf course is in great shape. Had family in from out of state and they said great course for the hot tee price I paid. Greens are best they have been in years. Only Issue was bunkers needed prepared. Appeared they do not prep them each morning for days play.

Course is in excellent condition. Mini Verde Greens putting very nicely and hardly any ball marks to fix on them. Some greens on the back seemed to be much slower than the ones on the front.

To help speed up play, you need one more set of tee boxes. Your Red yardage comes in at 4667 yds., which is too far for Beginners, Super Seniors and Young Kids. Another set at just over 4,000 yds. would work nicely for those who only hit their drives 150 to 175 yds. on average. This would reduce most par 4's to 190 to 260 yds. on average and give the opportunity for these short hitting players to be able to hit 7 irons to PW into these greens. It would also speed up play and make the game more fun for the inexperienced. I've noticed on another local course that they've changed the scorecard colors. They've moved the color red to the longest yardage set of tee's on the card and moved the black or gray to the up tee's. Good way to break the stigma attached to Red Tee's and get players with the help of the course to play the correct tee's for their games.

Lochmere is a very average course - reminded me of a muni. Definitely not worth $60. Layout is very repetitive; that is, many of the holes are pretty much the same. Most of the "variety" came with water hazards. The layout is definitely flat, without any change in elevation to speak of. In my opinion, $40 should be tops for this course.

On the positive side, the staff was friendly and the course was in generally good condition. Greens were in good shape for this time of year and rolled true. Do note that the Bermuda is generally long and can be very challenging, especially around the greens.

In sum, a very plain course. In good shape. Not worth more than $40 for a round.
