Cobblestone Golf Course

Best course we have played on in a long time. Beautiful fairways and backdrops. Everything was kept up nicely. Great location. Overall it just can’t be beat at this price. Definitely coming back. New favorite course.

Loved playing Cobblestone today. Every hole is beautiful. The fairways and greens were pristine. Some of the tee boxes need some work but not an issue compared to the rest of the course. Definitely one of the nicest non-country club courses I have played in Georgia.

The latest reviews were none too complimentary but were perhaps a little unfair. This is a really good layout with a number of holes running close to Lake Acworth so great views aplenty. There are some great holes but the course condition did leave something to be desired.

The fairways are somewhat spotty with a number of bare patches, and the greens were inconsistent at best, and boy, were they slow, a lot different from the practice green which rolled well. The bunkers were pretty awful with too little sand and the lining was showing through in more than a few places. I know because I found a lot of them!

Pace of play was the real bugbear as we had a couple of walkers in the group of 4 in front and they were set on taking their time for their military golf however many people were stacked up behind.

But, overall, this is a well designed course that is lacking a bit of TLC, and which could be brought up to a good standard pretty easily. Perhaps allowing less than the 285 tee times in a day - quoted to us on check in - would help.

2nd time playing in 2 years traveling and it is exceptional

This is truly one of the greatest layouts in metro Atlanta, maybe all of Georgia. Sadly, Cobb County puts no effort or money into bringing it back to it's peak form from glory days years ago. Yet they continue to charge premium rates.

I keep hoping it will come back, so I play it once or twice a year and have for the last 20 years or so and it is never great. It's barely OK and a rip-off for $70. Last week I asked how the course was before I booked my time. Someone in the pro-shop said they aerated the greens on June 1, nearly two weeks ago and that they were in good shape, and he said the rest of the course was in great shape.

All lies.

While the green speeds were good, they were way too bumpy with tons of sand on every hole. You were basically guessing. The greens are in poor shape. As to the other "great" course conditions - they have 1, maybe 2 tee boxes that don't look like a bad muni course, and it's tough to find a flat lie on the tee box. Most tee boxes were bare and again, had tons of Sand. Bunkers have zero consistency, not across the course but in each individual bunker. Either too much sand or rock hard clay, within feet of each. And there isn't a lush fairway out there. Very firm and hard but you'll need a bulldozer to take a divot.

They want to present themselves as great public track but they aren't. And they never will be until the General Manager and Bobby Jones Links gets with someone at Cobb Country who matters and cares about this previous gem of a golf course, which is now just a beautiful layout, in a beautiful setting, sad has-been golf course. The general manager should be embarrassed.

If you want a premium public course in the Metro, try The Frog, the best public course in Georgia, or Achasta. At very similar rates, you actually get a premium golf experience. Even the updated Bobby Jones course is far superior. So disappointing. May try again next year, but I think I'm done.

Cobblestone is always a great venue! While difficult for high handicappers the course and its surroundings lend themselves to a fantastic outing! The green conditions presently are not perfect . Nevertheless, enjoyable and I look forward to the day when I'm able to bring my score closer to my personal goal. Hats off to staff!

I will keep it simple. I will rate each aspect of the golf course from 1-10 with 1 being the worst I have played and 10 being the best.

We were playing this course 50 miles away to prep for a tournament qualifier, hence the long drive.

Range - 2/10

Practice areas - 2/10

Tee boxes - 2/10

Fairways - 1/10 - my home turf is better than the fairways

Greens - WOW - -1/10 - They were sanded but it felt like a beach

Course layout - 4/10 - for some it might be challenging but not for me. It just felt awkward

Pace of play - 2/10 - being a public course that is understandable but we were looking at a 5+ hour round

Nothing about this course was good. The price that we payed through GolfNow HAD NO mention of aeration - both on greens and fairways. We actually went - where's the fairway on almost all holes.

WE PLAYED 9 and left.

OH my what a nice gem in Acworth!

I can guarantee that if you didn't know this was a Muni-Course, you would think that you were playing a semi to private course.

The course is WELL-MAINTAINED! However, the greens were aerated on June 1 & 2 2020 and the day I played was on June 4th 2020.

Nonetheless, I could tell that the greens are in great shape as I saw NO fungus, bad spots and it appears it will have a nice green color and roll true as the sand settles.

Speaking of sand, the course has its share of traps and water. I never found the water which offers wonderful views against breath-taking backdrops. Now I did find sand and was pleasantly surprised that the sand was ...... wait for it....... FLUFFY! Yes Fluffy sand for a Muni- WOW!

The staff is very friendly and they have marshals on the course to help keep pace of play.

Now here's the kicker! Today is my birthday and I was pleasantly surprised that my round was ABSOLUTELY FREE as all I had to do was show my drivers license. Now thw reason I say "ABSOLUTELY FREE" is because I did not even have to pay for use of the golf cart!!!!! What other course does that?! They also gave me a FREE Jumbo beef hot-dog with a drink and bag of chips.

I definitely plan to play again THIS year 2020.

It is worth noting that we tee'd off around 8AM and I believe that if we had teed off around 9am or later, the pace might have been slow because I saw a full parking lot during the turn.

So do put this course on your list of golf courses to play in 2020 if you are in the area.

OH WAIT A MINUTE, I almost forgot about the walking comment in my title.

There were a couple or few par 4's that were cart path only and even though I found the middle of the fairway on all of those, i was keenly aware of the walk back to my cart.

There were elderly golfers (QUITE A FEW) that were walking this 18 hole course which means I plan to get off my butt and try to walk nine and hopefully 18 by the season's end.

Shout out to Matthew the pro-Shop attendant and staff who made our round most enjoyable.

Course has just been aerated and the management provided a free lunch and a discounted fee. Class act for the price paid. All in all in decent shape based on time of year and a great layout.

Greens sanded heavily, back nine closed so everyone playing at a snails pace on only nine holes, people being allowed to walk added to the misery.. No notification of conditions

Always like this course. Beautiful views, good conditions.

Problem was that only 9 holes were open and we did not know that until we got there. They were aerating. I might have missed it, but do not think that GolfNow alerted me .

We made the most of it and the staff was great, as was everything else

It’s a really fun layout, with some beautiful views.
