Cobb's Glen Country Club
About
Cobb's Glen Country Club is named after its designer, George Cobb, a Georgia native who lived in Greenville most of his life. He designed many golf courses in the South, including the par-3 course at Augusta National. The golf course sprawls across rolling terrain blanketed with mature forests. Opened in 1976, the layout may be more traditional than modern golf courses but it still presents one of the area's most formidable challenges. The course has hosted a variety of events over the years including the U.S. Open Qualifier and the South Carolina Amateur Championship. There are 90 bunkers strategically placed throughout, and the greens are lightning fast. The 11th is one of the most memorable holes. This par 3 plays over water to a triple-tiered green that is flanked by three bunkers on the right, one for each tier.

Course slowly declining from what it was or even should be
Course really is on a slow decline. Usually play here like every 3 months or so and over the last few years it is on a disappointing path. Had a friend with me yesterday who had not been here in like 2 years, he had the same opinion of what conditions the course USED to be and was not impressed. I sure hope it changes this pattern quickly. Tee boxes - greens and bunkers are all involved in what I’m saying. Gentlemen in the pro shop said he had only been there a couple weeks was extremely nice. Doubt I’ll go back until next spring but I’ll give it another try but hopefully a mindset has changed. Sad to see over the last couple years - sorry to post but hopefully it strikes the right note and improvements that are needed are made. Good luck
The course is a pretty decent course. The tee boxes and fairways need some TLC. But overall not bad at all
Good course!
We have had played this course many years. The rain and some lack of attention on the maintenance side kind of lower the quality of the course as we were used to. still enjoyed.
HD not played in a few years. Enjoyed the course. Course was in pretty good shape. Sand traps need some work
Might want to wait
Cobbs Glen was not in great shape. We had heavy rain 2 days prior, but that did not impact us as we expected some casual water, etc. What we did not expect was extremely poor greens and even less expected someone to set the holes amongst the black and dying spots in the greens. There were good areas in the greens, but few holes were cut there. I asked a member on the practice green about the condition of the course and he said the owner is trying to sell the course and has stopped caring about the grounds. You might want to wait for a new owner to step and start making improvements before playing here.
Greens are rough
Greens are in bad shape, especially for this time of year. Fairways aren’t bad, I’d say half the traps have decent sand. Not a nice course by any means, but surrounded by a nice neighborhood. Those poor greens though just make it a frustrating round.
Poor conditions
Greens were very inconsistent, cut at different lengths, and had a bunch of dead spots.
Usually the course is in much better shape. I’m hoping it was just due to some late freezes this spring.
Bad Greens
I played this course in high school back in the 80's . At that time Cobbs Glen was an absolute great course. Fast foward to 2023 and the course has went down fast. I'm not sure what has happened to the greens but basically they are dirt. The Carr paths needs work tee boxes are in bad shape. Come on Cobbs Glen get your luster back.
Cobbs Glenn in decline
I use to play this course regularly about 4 years ago but stopped when they stopped offering hot deals. At the time it was in pretty good shape. They later started offering again but at a significantly higher price. I played it a couple of years ago and noted the course was not in good shape and the greens were in decline. This time the greens were in terrible shape. They were for the most part completely brown and in many areas the grass was dried and matted. They don't appear to be taking care of the place. The golf carts were filthy. I had to clean my bag after the round. I would not recommend this place to anyone.
Nice Golf Course
Nice course layout and good working golf carts. The greens were a little inconsistent but that is too be expected during late winter and I’m sure by summer time they will be perfect. Staff was friendly and helpful. We will be back.
Winter freeze killed the greens
Played Cobbs Glen on 2/19/23. The greens, which are usually pretty good here, were dead. We had a deep freeze at the end of December and it is obvious that these greens were not covered. It makes playing this course not enjoyable. Putts bounce a lot and there are plenty of dead spots on these greens. I will wait until springtime to play here again. Hopefully the greens aren't too far gone. Preventative maintenance pays for itself when it comes to a golf course. Spend the money now, or suffer later. I don't understand why this was allowed to happen. Other courses in the area took proper precautions and now they are seeing the benefits. Do better, Cobbs. Yes I'm mad about it because I consider this to be my home course, even though I'm not a member.
Needs Help
Have played here multiple times in the last year and it seems to get a little worse every time. Currently, the tee boxes are pretty thrashed and the greens have these small buds of weeds or different turf popping up all over them causing putts to not roll true and bumping your ball off line. Some greens have a gnarly fungus but they do a good job of cutting the hole away from that damage.
This place has such excellent potential if they just took better care of tees and greens.
On a good note, the staff has always been 5 Stars.
Nice layout, needs some TLC
First time on Cobb's Glen and will try it again in the Spring. Greens had tons of little weed sprigs (poa?) that made putting kind of silly. Neat layout several challenging doglegs. Lots of cart path damage. Nice group and staff, overall enjoyable but greens on other courses in the area are in better shape.
Fun course!
I really like this course and love the layout. I live in the Atlanta area, but come to this area every month to see my grandson and I have played all the local Anderson courses that are public, but Cobb’s Glen CC is definitely, in my opinion, the best. The greens (minus some rough spots) were soft, rolled true, and quick—nice! This was only my second time playing the course, but I look forward to coming back in the spring and summer when the fairways are plush. Par-threes are very challenging. You won’t be disappointed if you play it—it’s a fun course!
