Lochmere Golf Club

Gorgeous day and I wanted to try out Lochmere with their new greens. Greens are much better. Conditions for rest of course were a little above average. Fairways pretty thin. Big issue was pace of play. Very slow. Foursome ahead of us we're all terrible and needed the five hrs to finish. Not sure what the rangers could do other then tell them to leave. I guess Black Friday brings out these types of golfers. I'll stay away next year.

Fun course pretty basic but worth playing only real issue I had and yes I know it's November but leaves were all over the fairway and basically the whole course . I wish they would have at least blown the fairway. With that said I'd still play it again

The course was in good shape although it was a little muddy in places. It would not be fun to play as a twosome, in that the course was pretty crowded.

Overall this was a nice course. Very impressed with the greens for this time of year. Fairways were in ok shape. Driving range was nice. Did not notice any drainage issues. Biggest complaint, due to our 9AM tee time, I could not see any of my shots on the driving range or the first couple of holes due to the sun being directly in your eyes. Partners had to really make an effort to track your shot. A little short from the whites.

Lochmere is one of our regular courses to play in the area and we usually have a pleasant experience. However, we got a bad taste in our mouth due to one individual. They were 10 or 15 minutes behind, which we can understand. However, as one of us is addressing the ball on the first tee, the starter yells from behind "you guys need to hurry up and hit your shots, the other group is already on the green". Some of the guys in my group hit the ball a long way and we didn't want to hit into the group in front of us. The situation could have been handled differently if he felt like we were taking too long, even when we weren't. We then had a ranger follow us around for 3 or 4 holes, lurking behind us. I understand they were backed up and trying to speed up play, but he could have had a simple conversation instead of talking down and yelling at us while one of our guys is addressing the ball.

Other than the starter and the extremely slow play, we were happy with the experience.

The course is nicely laid out , plays short , but the greens are great and have a lot of movement, a fun course.

For a hurricane rolling through a week ago, putting a majority of the course under water, major cudos to the grounds crew at lochmere. I'd love pay to get another go when it's in perfect condition. I'm an 18 handicap, made the mistake of playing from the whites where it plays a little too short, but that was my fault, but it did make me feel like a big man off the tee. Very friendly staff, great course management. Very highly recommend this course and will be playing it again.

I enjoyed the layout and will return to play when not as wet. Driving and putting were good. Hitting second shots were difficult due to all the mud. Also, very difficult to find muddy ball due to all the debris. Probably should have been closed on Monday for cleanup and drying out

This was my first time on the course. It was a last minute thing. Got there and went right out to the tee, no starter, was told there was a twosome, but I didn't see them until the back nine. Conditions where good considering the rain that has happened as of late. Pretty straightforward course, some water but doesn't come into play if you are aware of it. Greens in good shape, very few ball marks. Fairways in good shape. Rough is very thin in most places, so try to avoid to help losing balls. Only issue I had was maintainence crews started coming out on the back nine and seemed to be following me as I went, I understand they have a job to do. But it gets in your head that hey are there, watching you. So that was my only complaint, be it a small one. Round took 3 hours which was great. Recommend the course for a discounted price.

This course is a gem....easy to walk...

Loved this course! It was very challenging and the greens were near perfect. Only cost me $22.50 through GolfNow.com which I thought was an amazing deal. However, I didn't take into account it was Labor Day when I booked my tee time. I enjoy playing alone and thought a 5:30 tee time would give me time to play and allow the course to clear as well. Not the case, groups were backed up for 3 holes and I only made it to the 12th hole. Will definitely go back just not on a holiday!

The course was over crowded at 4pm and no starter. We figured out times like adults and moved on. Pace of play was a little slow but there were walkers on the course.

The greens putted true and we're in great condition considering our weather this summer. The only better greens that I've played this month have been at Duke University.

I found the course in good condition, fairways and greens.

Lochmere fairways can sometimes get too wet from too much rain. Course was in very good shape. The greens were true for putting. The weather was beautiful, given our recent hot weather. It was a good day for golf at Lochmere

I always have fun at Lockmere. The staff is very friendly as are the people in the grill.

Lochmere is a nice course with some layout challenges on some holes. They maintain the greens excellently! Also, Ed and his staff always try to provide opportunities for fun outings. Overall, I prefer to play here than anywhere else in the Triangle.

First of all the Staff was very friendly, I was late getting there called in and arrived 30min after original tee time. The pro shop was outstanding Lots of good deals and lots of discounts on top brand name clubs, the Snack Bar was very well organized a tad pricey on grill items but overall was extremely clean.

Now Course wise, understanding This area had lots of rain in last 3 days and some fairways had some mushy spots but the turf was in outstanding shape, Greens was in #1 shape in my opinion compared to most courses I've played last month or so.

The deals thru golf now was good and all and Talked to general manager to possibly join an League, possibly starting an Sr. league soon for 50+ members

This is the best shape I've seen the course. Greens were true and held well. Rain the day before did not effect play (this used to be a problem here).

Played early in the morning on weekday so pace of play was not an issue.

The greens were in perfect shape. The front 9 was in good shape but the back 9 was just ok due to heavy rain the night before. Overall it was fun to play.

Great course, very good condition and upkeep!
