Granite Ridge Golf Club - Cobalt

I went on a day when it was drizzling for the first few holes and ended up being descent weather afterwards. Not many people were there due to the weather so the pace of play was very fast. The grounds were soaked due to the heavy rain from the day before but was able to play through it. Very nice layout. Excellent for a beginner. I booked using golf now so I ended up getting a very good deal.

Course had just opened.

Course was very wet following a few days of rain.

likely preventing ground crews from working.

Fairways good. Rough needed cutting.

Greens running very slow and bumpy.

Bunkers nard and compact sand need maintenance.

It's early in season but fairways were like rough, greens were bumpy and so slow. 5 hour round no marshals doing anything useful

It's early in the year, so the conditons (while very soggy) were pretty decent overall, but the pace of play was awful! 5.5 hours!

Starter was in a BIG hurry to get people going off the 1st tee, but there was NO SIGN of anyone beyond that pushing people along.

Longest round in at least a decade for me.

Been a long time since I played here, and I won't be back any time soon because of it

A decent time and expectations were on the low side as it was the first day of play for the course for 2017.

All in all it was an enjoyable experience.

Course was in great shape for so early in the season - not waterlogged at all.

As a high-handicap hacker I found the course to be ok - good mix of challenging undulating greens, reasonably wide fairways and not too many hazards!

Enjoyed the course but the pace of play was pretty slow @ 4h45 and not once did we see a Marshall coming around.

nice view and not easy fairway

Good course arrangement. Beautiful sight.

I loved it because of the par fours.

First time I have played this course. Course was in good shape for fall golf. Not many people on the course. A thoroughly enjoyable day. Staff were friendly.

Very slow day made it hard to get into playing. Ended up leaving half way through the 12th hole when when it was backed up with three groups all over the hole.

Was disappointing that we got a good deal from golf now but could not finish the round due to the pace of play.

We were told by staff before we went out that they were not that busy and we could have our choice of course, boy was that ever misleading.

Have played a number of rounds theought the year on weekend mornings this course was by far the worse for pace of play. Sitting in the cart for 5 min between shots does not get you into any grove and makes it start to seem like more of a chore vs a great day out.

For the money, this was a great round of golf. While the course is forgiving on most holes there are some good challenging approach shots. Greens are medium in size and have some good undulation to them. Great staff, great scenery and over all I would play again in a pinch.

Course is really nice. Other than the usual damage from the recent drought its in good shape. Pace of play was good even though there were no marshalls. A little confusion about which 9s we were supposed to play as two employees told us two different things but great round other than that. Very scenic course

This has become my home course! I really love playing it whenever I can after work. I can usually get around as a single in less than 3 hours. Other foursomes or threesomes are very kind to let me play through. The holes are challenging enough to keep me coming back. The greens are immaculate even with the heat wave we have have all summer. I would highly recommend this trek to anyone who wants to go low, maybe even break 80!

we played the day after torrential rain which helped immensely …. the fairways were great, however tee boxes and greens were just alright!

i enjoyed my round a grew deal, however this was not a hard course. Every time i landed a drive in or near a fairway i was left with 100-150 yes to the pin on almost every hole, which made the flags easy to attack! (and my drives are only about 240-270).

I would come back at the rate i got, and hopefully it'll be after rain cuz i remember this course being much dryer!

Overall the course was great. Green and fairways were nice considering all of the heat we have had over the past few months.

Staff was very courteous.

Course layout was nice. The Cobalt course had many risk reward shot opportunities. The depth perception on some of the holes made it tricky in club selection

The only problem that I had were the ball marks that were not replaced on the greens. On many of the greens (15 out of 18) there were significant ball marks not taken care of. As a golfer we should all fix ball marks when you make them.

Overall it was a great course and I would book again.

Cheers,

I have played here before and it is a decent course in good condition overall. Lack of a Driving Range is too bad but I'm not going to find the answer to my swing problems 20 mins before my round anyway. They have a Hitting Net to warm up and large practice putting green.

Only problem that day was two groups (total 7) young gentlemen golfers in front of us who didn't seem too familiar with golf / golf cart rules. They drove their carts up to the green on almost every hole. At least one of them must have had Athletic shoes on as the nice, soft greens were wrinkled where they walked or ran. My putting sucks, but this didn't help.They did run frequently as they were trying not to make us wait too much. Nice enough fellows as we saw them regularly in our fairway, but I would rather have been in front of them than behind. They were having fun.

NO MARSHALLS or PLAYER ASSISTANTS to be seen the entire round. Too bad.

The weather was perfect.

Wanted to play this course for a long time after hearing good things about it, was very disappointed after the much anticipated build up. The Ruby is course is basically an executive style course. The distance between the tee blocks and the greens are so close that on more than 1 occasion we where nearly hit by players hitting shots into the greens next to our tee blocks. the course is definatly overpriced in my opinion.

This course was in exec lent condition greens were smooth but tricky at times due to weekend golfers pace of play was a little slow do to walkers and carter's but all and all it was a great day to play the game I love shot a 79 and would recommend this course wish I could find a title st with tuts on it
