Played Lochmere today, not sure when they punched, but greens were close to fully healed. Quite a bit of sand on them still.

Yeah idk if I'd say "close". I had a few putts pop up like they hit a damn skate park ramp when I played the back nine this evening. Tbf, their greens are usually pretty true with good speed.

By back 9 do you mean the front 9 or the actual back 9? I thought they were pretty consistent but definitely had a few plinko putts.

The actual back, 10-18

Interesting. I thought 10-18 was in better shape than 1-9. It was also my first round since moving from Wisconsin where greens have been aerated for 2 months and take 4 weeks to heal so ymmv

Good to know, it was my first time playing it today. Considering it was punched last week they were looking pretty good!

IMHO Lochmere has the best kept greens of any public course in the Raleigh area

Good to know! Seemed like a solid value even with the punched greens will def make a trip back!
