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.

Course was in great shape
Played 9 holes on the twilight rate today and it was in great shape. Greens were rolling smooth and fast and the fairways were in great shape. Pace of play was great, finishing 9 holes in 1 hour and 45 minutes.
It's in Cary... so expect to pay $$$$ for mid
Course is what it is. An easy track layout with some real up side aesthetically.
The problem is that there is little upkeep. There is no defined fairways/rough outline. The grass is shaggy and on multiple holes there were weeds in the fairway. The back tees were left uncut compared to the up tees. Just all around a very head scratching lack of mowing. We had rain 5 days earlier and it is a known soggy course after rain, but for what they charge, a clear fairway/rough cut is necessary. Disappointed at best with conditions. Staff was pleasant.
Fairway bad shape
Recent rains in the area may be the reason for fairways like ok like rough. However golf course should mention that on Golfnow and reduced rates.
Swampmere exists
I'd avoid this course at all costs. There is not one redeeming quality. It was nicknamed swampmere for a reason. After 4 days of no rain, the course was a mud pile. It's better suited to mudding then golf. Save your heartbreak, money, and time. Go somewhere else and enjoy your round.
Wet
I played with a member so I was able to get a lot of insight. The course is ina low laying area and was wet from the rain 2 days prior. I asked for a pull cart since it was cart path only and they didn’t offer pull carts. The gentleman I played with said it is always we and cart path only. Greens were in good shape and a nice layout. Just expect cart path only.
Lochmud
Great location and fair layout. That’s about all the positives. The pace is awful due to disorganized starting and way too many people walking. The rangers do little to help. The course is nearly always wet. That’ll teach them for building in a flood plane! Give River Ridge a try for a much better experience.
Been awhile
It’s been probably 15 years since I’ve played at Lochmere. So it was almost like playing a new course. I find the course challenging the fairways were OK. The weather condition was OK but the play was a little bit slow. Overall a decent course.
Lockmere GC
Considering recent heavy rains course was in very good condition. A friend & 2 others that were assigned for our tee time had a nice round. Will play again!
Could Be Good!
Perfect weather on a Friday, mid-morning...but right off the bat we were almost 15 minutes past our tee time. Most likely b/c they allow walkers, but what's ridiculous is they allow walkers to join a group in carts, like they did to us! So now we had 3 men in carts, who all play to a 10-12 HCP, and we are paired with an older lady who was probably a 30+. Ridiculous. I've played here many times, but not in a few years...so $60 for Lochmere? That's a little crazy.
Course in Great Shape
Course in great shape for late summer. Greens very true rolls.
Nice course. Fun layout. Great value with Hot Deals
Great Deal
I got a great deal at $30 for 18 including cart. The course was in great condition and the pace of play was excellent. Not many people on the course, I think because of the extreme heat.
Course in great condition. Greens are very good and roll well.
