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 Local Course

I was surprised at how well the course was maintained. I had always heard of it having bad drainage but it was quite dry even having had a month full of rain and it raining during my round. If you play safe you will be rewarded. Bunkers were good, rough wasn't ridiculous, kind if tighter but not overly long. A good challenge but not overly difficult. The greens rolled like glass for being so sandy and being a public course. I will definitely be coming back.

Good, a few areas for insight

I like how the greens roll. The green side bunkers were immaculate. We played after a week long rain, given it stopped for 18-24 hours before we went out. With that said, I had hoped for better drainage as some fairways were swamped. Overall I will play here again for the right hot deal tee time price. And for the love of everything holy, please lower the food prices. $9.50 for a glizzy is highway robbery. I mean she’s a chunky son of a gun but still…

Nice layout, wet conditions

I liked the course layout, a bit tight for some players. The course was pretty wet all around with casual water just about everywhere. The pace of play was slow on a Saturday, our round took just over 5 hours. The staff was great and the grill staff were excellent. I would play there again under dryer conditions.

Great Layout, Pleasant Staff, Greens terrible

If they took care of the greens this course would be a gem. The greens were the slowest greens I have ever played, and I play a lot. Think of putting through an uncut apron that was every green. Granted there was heavy dew, but even dried out they were slower than any muni I have played. It was a shame, the layout was great and it was close enough to OBX to offer a low cost alternative.

Great course. Annoying last minute random $20 fee.

I booked on GolfNow and payed at the clubhouse. When I went to the starter he said I would have to pay an additional $20 to him if I wanted to use my own cart. I understand they are trying to have enough carts , but to not be told until you get to the starter is disappointing.

Great Value

I played this course on a weekday afternoon and I would say that the value at that timeslot is unbeatable. Facilities are great, staff was great.

Pace of play for a Wednesday afternoon was surprisingly slow.

Greens were punched 3 weeks ago and we have been without rain so they are still a little bumpy and sandy but not terrible.

I would go back if in the area again.

Wow... What a surprise

Hadn't been back in over a year and all.I can say is excellent job on the refinements and overall course conditions. You turned #11 from an embarrassment to a thing of beauty. All this and that was playing on punched greens. Can't wait to return and try out the greens. See you in a month
