Granite Ridge Golf Club - Cobalt

We had a beautiful round today with no delays.

green were in excellent shape.

We had a great time playing this course in August. greens were in excellent shape compare to May and June.

course is in very nice shape. Staff was friendly. Pace was not the greatest, saw one group quit behind us. Group in front of us were hitting from 3 different tees, the guy hitting from the back tees thought it was the last round of the Masters and he was Tiger Woods. Heard many of his drives hitting things and it wasn't the fairway. Other than that, a great day of golfing.

greens had all sorts of ball Mark's not repaired.

Tee boxes needed a cutting,could barleysee tees

My dad and I have been playing this course steadily for two years now. It's quite close to his house and we really like it, it's always in great shape and is moderately difficult. Although this past Saturday we had one of the worst golf experiences in our 60+ combined years of golf. I encourage anyone thinking to visit this course to absolutely AVOID booking a tee off time during a tournament day, even if they say the course is and/or will open up at some point. It won't. We called to book a regular 10am Saturday time for their Cobalt course, they advised us about a tournament so we proceeded to book the Ruby course instead, thinking the tournament was only on Cobalt. After getting through 3 holes averaging 25 minutes per hole we quickly realized they had publicly booked us smack in the middle of a massive private company tournament. Not cool. We had to skip holes 4-9 and re-started on the 10th. This helped up until about the 17th hole. After finishing the 18th we realized there was no way we were going to be able to finish. Playing the back 9 again was not an option (as it was absolutely ram-packed), and the holes 4-9 that we didn't play on the front were now averaging backed up foursomes on every hole. This was on BOTH Cobalt and Ruby, we literally drove throughout the entire course looking to salvage 6 more holes.

Moral of the story I guess, this course may not know how to run a tournament properly as there DEFINITELY wasn't a shotgun start. If they even use the word "tournament" on the phone DO NOT BOOK.

We were thankful to receive full rain checks, which does void them of an apology (that they did not give us). But only completing 12 holes when you we had set that Saturday aside to golf was very frustrating.

Longest round I've ever played. Booked on golfnow for 11:33, showed up at 11 to check in and putt around, no range. Shop bumped us to 11:42 no warning or even asked if it was okay. Then starter decided to argue with us over the tee time. Then proceeded to get pushed back probably didn't get off the tee till 12. Round took 6 hours! Didn't see any Marshalls pushing pace, I think they just needed to space tee times further apart or keep the pace moving. One of our foursome had to leave after 9 cause the pace was so bad and the proshop wouldn't charge him for 9 even tho it was a pace issue. I'm not surprised tbh. Silver lining is the course was in pretty solid shape, seems to hold water a bit cause alot of the tee blocks and fairways were saturated and made it a bit of a chore to choose clubs and shots. Other plus is they tossed people a 2 for 1 pass for all the waiting so that's nice too. The layout was decent enough couple nice holes on each 9. Would go back but probably not at a busy time of day.

Always a great time when we play here. Course was in great shape!

Good value

Nice course would definitely go again

I like this course as it great value and it a challenge

I arrived at the course 30 min before tee time. Pro shop refused to check me in, telling me that I need to come back in 10 min because they only check in 20 min prior to tee time. Really??!! Told me to go away and come back in 10 min. What a welcome reception.

Starter said try to keep the round under 4 hours, I wish. Waited on every hole, no marshal in sight. It was a 5 hour round, at times two groups waiting at the tee.

Definitely will not come back!!

We played 18 enjoyed it so much we played another 9 . The staff were very pleasant and accommodating the course was in great shape...!

Being my first time here, I found a couple of staff not so welcoming. They seem very regimented and was more concerned about getting to you to move on. No smiling or friendliness... Not a great impression for a first time visitor to the course, it really impacts the experience.
