Rough conditions

I really hope they get this course out back together before summer. It’s normally very nice but currently it’s unplayable. We had a little rain but the fairways were like swamps.

Perfect weather
Walked

Solid all around

The staff was fantastic, I forgot that GolfNow only charges a booking fee, and didnt bring my wallet (left the house too quickly), so I paid with a bunch of singles. Staff working the front desk was super cool about it. The course is nice, but has a bit of a draining issue. Very walkable, good for when its cart path only (see draining issue). What you see is what you get on this course. I will definitely be giving this place my business in the future, primarily because the staff was great, but also because its a fun, not too challenging course. Cheers to the staff at Lochmere!

Swamp-Mere Exists

In fairness to them, it did rain 24 hours earlier, but you would hope the course could drain that time. Let's just say it didn't and the course was a swamp. I wish I had known earlier, but you live and learn. If it rains within 24 hours, Lochmere is a no go.

Nice short course

Enjoyed playing here with my son. Some interesting holes with bunkers and water in play. Would probably play from the blues next time through.

Fun Course

Between the cold and the abundance of leaves on the course, what is usually an easy course wasn't so easy.
Pace of play was OK, we had to wait on a few holes. Greens were a bit slow but were in good condition. Price was more than I expected.

Beautiful course. It was very wet due to a large amount of rain recently, but played well and is beautiful.
