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 Day
Course honestly was in great shape, 1 par 3 did have a temporary tee which wasn't a real inconvenience,
Solid course without touching the driver
My driver was getting regrouped so I teed off with my 3 wood all day a day and I was able to reach pretty much all the greens in 2. Very enjoyable and approachable for a decent golfer
Lochmere Is A Solid Public-Play Course
The fee is reasonable. The course has welcomed variety in its layout. Fairways are growing in nicely for this time of the year. Greens roll smoothly. Pace of play is average as too many golfers do not adhere to “playing well, play fast; playing poorly, play faster.” Four practice swings to hit a worm-burner is agonizing to watch, but certainly not limited to here. I would recommend Lochmere as a good value and pleasant golf outing.
Best suited for walkers
Greens are some of the best in the area for a public course. Well maintained even with the heavy volume of tee times. One of the best walking courses in the Triangle area because of the flatter layout.
Extremely Disappointing
LIke most advertisements, this was not at all like the website or descriptions. I am shocked at the positive reviews I saw after playing here. ProShop employee was great. Starter and rangers not so much. I was a single playing with 3 gentemen from Iowa. They were not good golfers and said so themselves. One just picked up the game last fall. We were a bit slow on the front nine and the ranger came out to push us along. He wasn't exactly pleasant. We skipped a hole to move along. On hole 11 or 12 the ranger was back. We were maybe 100 yards into the green and there was nobody on the tee. He tells us we are 3 holdes behind and was flat out disrespectful. I asked him if we are 3 holes behind why is there nobody on the tee behind us? He angrily mumbled something and drove off. At this point it ocurred to me that the 3 gentemen I was playing with were the only black players I had seen all day there. Sadly I cannot help but wonder if this didn't play a role in being hassled by the ranger? Anyway, I assure you I will never play this undervalued (conditions/price) and not friendly for all golf course.
Always a great time!
Really like this course. Greens are amazing. Bunkers well placed and in very good shape. Friendly staff. Nice range. One of my favorite courses.
Nice Course
Sand traps needed groomed. Water needed to be on course in water stations(86 degrees this day) ALL Grass growth will be much better by mid-May.
Had a great time
Weather was fantastic, course starting to green up. Most of the greens were very nice. Challenging but very fair. Thoroughly enjoyed the round.
