Rating Snapshot
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 shape for late December
After rain the day before and no sun today, I expected the course to be pretty soupy, but it was all surprisingly firm, and the greens were in great shape. Too bad my game wasn't in as great of shape.
Pleasantly surprised
I was in town for a short trip and decided to give this course a try. It was a cool, damp, cloudy day in December, but I was pleasantly surprised with the condition of the course and the overall experience. I played the blue tees and overall the par 4’s were relatively short (340-350) but the course layout was good and the greens were in fantastic shape. It was cart path only which was understandable but still got done in 4 hours . Dormant grass took a while to get used to. The price was right and I will look to see what the course plays like in Spring, Summer or Fall when I’m back in town.
Pleasantly surprised
Played today for first time just looking for a decent course to play while visiting in Raleigh with my wife.. To play in December on a cloudy day after fairly heavy rain whereas we had to do cart path only, I was pleasantly surprised with the quality and condition of the fairways, rough and especially the greens (rolled true and no burn out spots). Not a long course as I played from Blue tees and most Par 4’s were in 340-350 range. Par 5’s are gettable but the layout was pretty good for a public course where the price was right. My wife played Red tees and they were really short holes. I want to play it in the spring , summer or fall to see if it’s in even better condition. I play over 150 rounds a year and this course isn’t a 5 star, but for the money, I had to give it 4 stars overall.
Everything but Pace
Pace was just very slow. Grounds were good and I love the course layout. Staff is super friendly. Will still come back again and enjoy and reccomend.
Very enjoyable
First time playing on the east coast so the obvious difference between northern Nevada play and here were present. But the course seemed very well maintained for the price of tee times. I thought it was a great layout that wasn’t too difficult but still had some challenge. Where I’m from there’s not a lot of courses so prices just keep climbing. It was nice to play a course that’s cheaper than our muni with drastically better conditions.
Been playing here a lot more lately
Although this is the closest public course to my home, I avoided playing here for years due to drainage issues that kept the course soggy after any recent rain. It certainly appears the staff have fixed that issue. I've played here several times recently and each time the course has been in great shape - particularly the greens, which are superb. The layout is interesting and the staff very friendly. I'm very happy too have this course back in the regular rotation!
