Cobblestone Park Golf Club - Garnet Course
Rating Snapshot
About
Cobblestone Park Golf Club in Blythewood boasts 27 championship holes. Formerly known as the University Club, the course hosts the University of South Carolina's golf teams. The holes are divided into three unique nines. The Garnet nine is the second longest of the three but it can feel quite lengthy thanks to the variety of elevation changes. The rolling terrain characterizes the golf course and adds to the diversity of the layout. Some of the highest points in Richland County can be found throughout, making the round as scenic as it is challenging. Strategically placed bunkers frame the greens and there are towering oaks and pines looming above the fairways. The tough layout will force you to use every club in your bag but the generous and inviting landing areas offer some respite.

Thank you the 5-Star Rating! We look forward to having you back soon at Cobblestone Park Golf Club - Gold Course
Very nice course! Layout is awesome. Greens were in great shape but will be even better in a few more weeks once they fill in a little more from being punched.

Good Course
Course was in very well kept shape, greens have already been aeriated for the summer so that is nice a little bumpy from players not fixing their divots but in good shape. Only thing i wasn't pleased with was the bunker conditions they were atrocious. Played in the middle of the day so it was smoking hot but there was no one out there.
bradgolf1997, thanks for the amazing review and for choosing Cobblestone Park Golf Club - Gold Course. We hope to see you again soon!
Pack your patience, otherwise it's an amazing course
Let me preface this by saying that I have played Cobblestone Park at least 30 different times over the last 15 years. I have played there and literally been the only person on the course aside from the staff. I've played there when there's groups of 6 people ahead and behind me. I've seen it all.
I personally think it's the best conditioned and best designed layout in Columbia. It is worth the extra to pay for the conditions that the course can be played under. Out of 18 greens (Garnet/Black) - only one had a dead patch and the rest were phenomenal. They had been recently punched, so they were a little more bumpy than I am used to.
Packing your patience as a single player is important because sometimes you'll get sandwhiched between a group of 6, or a two some like I was. I hadn't played in a year and was getting back used to playing so I didn't want to slow either group down by joining them.
My only recommendation would be if there are going to be bigger groups that they consider sending groups off of the Black nine and the Garnet nine at the same time. The Gold nine was not open which is my preferred nine there. I WISH they had 36 holes.
Thank you for taking the time to share your extensive experience and positive feedback about Cobblestone Park. We apologize for any inconvenience you experienced with larger groups, and we appreciate your recommendation regarding sending groups off of different nines simultaneously. We are glad to hear that you enjoy the course and its conditions, and we hope to see you again soon.

Outstanding as Always
Always a great time when I play here. Even with the greens having sand placed on them this morning, they rolled very well. The course is green, the pace of play was acceptable, and the starter John was very accommodating! Love this track and just wish I lived closer.
Hello, Golfer6489. Thank you for visiting us at Cobblestone Park Golf Club - Gold Course. We appreciate your 4-star rating and review. We hope you join us for another round soon.
Worth it!!!!!
I try to make it out to Cobblestone at least once a week. Tucked away in a gated community, it is quiet and beautiful. Layout can be challenging on holes with blind tee shots(not many). Takes a couple rounds and understanding of your own game to know where to hit and what side to miss on. Greens roll well, and reading the grain is vital to knocking in putts consistently. Having distance off the tee is a gift and a curse and may affect club selection to set up approach. The staff are friendly and extremely helpful. Definitely a must play if you are in the area. I haven't given myself the opportunity to sit down and eat there, but I have heard many good things.
Wow! We love our regulars and are so happy you enjoyed your round, u314162664324! We look forward to seeing you again soon at Cobblestone Park Golf Club - Gold Course.
Great times at Cobblestone
This is a beautiful 27 hole course. We played the Garnet and Gold nines. The greens had been punched a few weeks ago but we’re coming back in nicely and we’re rolling true.
I wish the Pro Shop had offered a yardage book as the carts do not have GPS. Local knowledge would be very helpful.
Overall, an absolute wonderful experience.
