Lochmere Golf Club

I haven't played Lochmere in 30 years so I considered it my first time. I don't remember the course having so much water, but there are creeks and ponds on practically every hole. Narrow tree lined fairways make it challenging. Hit fairways on the first nine and shot 38, missed fairways on the back and shot 44.

Guys at Lochmere are always great and easy to work with. Course is usually in good shape and pace of play is usually fairly quick.

The course was good condition and there was little wait time after a delayed start.

The tee boxes and fairways were in great condition. The greens had been aerated the day before so it was difficult on the greens but the staff and fellow golfers said just last week the greens were great. Great place overall and I cant wait to play again once the greens have bounced back.

This was my first time playing the course since the installation of the new green turf. If you have not played the course with these new greens, you should! An excellent improvement!

Good overall experience Most fairways narrow and tree lined. Greens were firm and fast and well maintained. Many tee boxes for all skill levels.

greens are in great shape. fairways were in good shape. like the overall layout.

Good track even with cart path only, area had 2 inches of rain the night before, the course handled it well. The greens putted very true with a lot of subtle break in them. They were also very hard considering the amount of rain. You needed to land most shots short and let them roll out, a tip provided by the starter (thanks). The club had a lot of business for a Thursday morning and play was some what sluggish, but one inconsiderate fore-some clogged up the whole course with there slow play. If they would have allowed faster players to play through the round would been in the 3.5 hour range not the 4.5 hour hour range.

Course was pretty wet...especially first four holes. Was carts on path so pace was slow but we were on track for 5 hour finish until deluge happened when we finished 14. Enjoyed the course even though it was soggy. This would be a great course if they could fix the water

nice place to play. everyone extremely friendly.
course not super long but a good test.

The course was in good shape: fairways, greens, bunkers. Played as a twosome and finished in 3hrs.
The bermuda greens were in great shape despite the heat of the last week. The pro shop staff were friendly and efficient in getting me checked in and on my way.

When the majority of courses have serious problems with frozen off Bermuda grass this course is a Mecca - fairways and greens are in great shape. CAVEAT: In my past experience stay away from this course after heavy rain as it gets excessively soggy

Love the course...
Great greens, lots of trees, and water to for the to penalize you for the miss hits...
Lochmere staff has put in a lot of work to correct the greens and drainage issues...
So, you're missing a 4 start course if you have not played Lochmere in the last 2 years..

The course was in good shape considering the lack of rain NC has received lately.

Average to below average course. Layout is repetitive. About all par 4's are of the same length and design. Greens were hard and slow. So hard no ball marks existed. Tried to repair one mark and it was difficult to put repair tool in the green to fix. Fairways were in decent shape. Bare spots were rare. Tees were okay with some needing work. Personally, I wouldn't pay over twenty dollars to play this course.

Course was in good shape. Greens had just been aerated so were a little hard to read.

The crew was friendly and the greens had been punched so putting was tough. The ground was hard and needed some rain or sprinklers. Setup was average. They gave us a voucher with lower rates so that we could come back when the greens were in good shape. This was a nice gesture, I have never been offered this before when greens were punched. Pretty course but it needs some help. $$$. I would come back when the greens were in better shape.

Lochmere seems to trending upward lately whilst other public access courses are slipping a bit. The MiniVerde greens that were new a couple seasons ago have aged in very well. Fairways were OK, but above average for the minimal rain we've gotten in the past month. Bunker maintenance is ideal and the best I've played all year. The sand is well maintained and consistent from hole-to-hole. Other course have been letting the bunkers go, which really hurts playability. All in all, Lochmere is a very good value for the money.

I had played here many years ago, but I do believe they have redone the greens since I last played them. The greens were in excellent shape. I only gave it 4 stars because there were other areas that seemed to be lacking as much attention. I know courses can start looking rough due to the summer heat, but some fairways were in rough shape and it's still May. I'll come back again because the greens were so nice and the course is a fair challenge, without being extremely frustrating. The pace of play was a bit slow and frustrating, perhaps it's just a weekend thing. The staff was pleasant and helpful. All in all, a nice course, but a bit expensive for what you're getting.

Course is in great shape greens perfect excellent layout very friendly staff.
