Granite Ridge Golf Club - Cobalt

Just happened to log on and see the Cobalt is still open? Its been winter like for weeks. The ground is frozen solid!
Kaneff properties are always the first to open and the last to close but this is nuts.
Its an ok track. Greens and tee boxes are too close. When its busy, say on the weekends, watch out!
Staff is always friendly.
There use to be tons of high fescue there years ago which made it a tuff track. Now it very straightforward. Kaneff probably figured they could cycle us through faster! They seem to be all about the money...

They have two courses, Cobalt and Ruby, the latter being shorter, and, based on my experience, they always looked like over-booked. At this time of year, I really enjoyed a stress-free round and hit my first 70's. Actually, I haven't played here since they stopped giving good deals for GolfNow at the beginning of this season. In short, both courses are good practice courses unless they're not over-booked.

Good course to play on with challenging holes for an average player like myself. Great view of the Niagara escarpment, feels like you're in the Rockies (well, almost). Great staff.

I was addressed as " You Golfnow guys ", I feel unwelcomed if I booked my tee time through Golfnow.com.

I enjoy Granite Ridge (Cobalt side)! I know others dismiss it as easy, not challenging, etc but I don't go to play golf to get beat up. Don't get me wrong; I like challenges in golf and this course offers me plenty of those: shots into and with winds, shots over water, holes where you just can't bomb it out there, where club selection and course management are paramount, etc. Throw in the prettiness of the property (located below the escarpment), the amazing restaurant food and people running said restaurant and you'll have a pretty enjoyable day!

We golfed the Ruby course, first time. Course was busy but a very helpful marshal kept things moving very well. He did a great job, which made our round very enjoyable.

great scenery. great layout, challenging course,great condition,for nov 4

Any day playing golf in November is a "gift". Granite Ridge understands this and has kept their course(s) in excellent shape. Greens were cut and were very fast and undulating. Great! Fairways were well-maintained albeit "spongy" in a few areas. Winter-rules apply. The club's pro shop were very accommodating. I asked if I could demo a Titleist 913 D3 driver (stiff) and there was no problem. Very hospitable.

Got a great deal with Hot Deals making the price reasonable. Normally the price is to high for what they offer. However the course is well maintained and the leaves that have fallen were in control.

6400 yards of narrow fairways must stay in middle greens are
Great are fast some water hazards

Overall course conditions were pretty good, all things considered! No leaves on the greens that were fairly maintained, speed was pretty good, and aside from the cold and random bit of ice pellets, the golf outing wasn't too bad! (except for some wet spots on the course, here and there). Finding errant shots wasn't too difficult either as a result of the lack of leaves. Paid $19.00 for 18+cart to tee off before 12 pm on a weekday so definitely can't complain!
Course itself in general is fairly easy, some wide open spots, not too many elevations or difficult holes so definitely would've loved to have played this course on a nice summer day; ah well!

Granite Ridge was a delightful surprise. We played on a chilly, windy and slightly rainy day in mid-October. Aside from the weather it was a lovely day. Amazing fall colours. Ruby is a challenging par 70 with lots of water and hidden pins. Even though it was late in the season the greens rolled fast and true. Well worth $50 for the two of us. First time buying a hot deal too and glad it worked out so well. I'll be keeping my eye out for deals next season. Maybe even play Cobalt too!

Unfortunately, I went the day after it rained. The course was very soggy and does not drain well. The play was very slow for a course that promotes fast play, two parties I saw picked up their balls and left the course. All in all decent value, $45 with a cart ... you cant go too far wrong

good start late in season this course seems to have alot of slow players.No marshalls on course,beer girl shows up on the 15th hole. oNLY GOOD FEATURE WAS THE GREENS WERE IN GOOD SHAPE

Played the Ruby and planning to play the Cobalt next. A beautiful golf course with extremely friendly staff. Starter went over the course in detail. Some challenging holes but in general very forgiving fairways. Greens were fast. Approaches were well maintained.

Golf course is in great condition and the greens are especially good. The greens were consistently fast from the first hole to the last. Definitely a course i would recommend.

Great course for the money. We usually play early morning and get a great price through GolfNow.

Great round of golf even though it had rained hard the night before and overcast, foggy and misty rain during our round. Greens were slow but with all the rain we were lucky to get the round in and course drainage is good. We played Ruby course and would recommend it!

The course was very challenging for me and I enjoyed it very much. I left with the feeling of wanting to play another round all over again. The price was very reasonable and the location was great.

Ruby Course:
Fairways though not super long, the large greens more than make up for it with tricky breaks. Great course for a woman as you have a chance to get on in regulation, which most courses lack, due to the fact courses are built for men & ladies tees are an afterthought. Our playing male partners enjoyed their game difficulty from the white tees. Restaurant food excellent.
