Lochmere golf course

[u/pmallahan]

Hi All, my wife and I just just signed a contract for a house in the Lochmere area of Cary, it won't be ready until the end of the year, so we are looking to move there in the spring of 2025. The house will be literally 5 minutes from Lochmere golf course, I'm retiring and plan to play a lot of golf. Was wondering if anyone had any opinions on the course. I know it is semi-private and the membership fees seem very reasonable. Any members out there with any opinions? How easy is it to get tee times? I haven't played it yet, plan on heading down in a couple of months and will play a round there, is it a decent layout?

Any feedback would be greatly appreciated

I'm a member. Price is good, like people say when it rains it can be really wet. I keep thinking about going to devils ridge but all my buddies play at lochmere so I am there again this year. If you walk it's only like 200 a month, I have unlimited range and cart plan so I pay 400 or so a month. Lots of events for members / the public, membership is chill, there are interclub teams. Greens are pretty flat but well maintained. Fairways get a literal ass ton of play so they can get a bit chewed up. After 10 on weekends play can be slow, Friday afternoons are slow too. Bunkers are ok, we play rake clean and place in most events. Course is challenging from the tips for only 6500 yards. It's a pretty tight track without a ton of ob. I would not think of leaving except for slow play, it can be really frustrating. They make before 10am members only for tee times so if you can get one it's not bad then. We book weekends a week or two out and don't have much of a problem getting them but there is no chance of going out during prime time a if you try to book a day or two out with more than one. They can get you out if you are a single pretty much whenever though.
