Type Semi-Private
Par 35
Length 3304 yards
Slope N/A
Rating N/A

Cobblestone Park Golf Club in Blythewood boasts 27 championship holes. Formerly known as the University Club, the course hosts the University of South Carolina's golf teams. The holes are divided into three unique nines. The Garnet nine is the second longest of the three but it can feel quite lengthy thanks to the variety of elevation changes. The rolling terrain characterizes the golf course and adds to the diversity of the layout. Some of the highest points in Richland County can be found throughout, making the round as scenic as it is challenging. Strategically placed bunkers frame the greens and there are towering oaks and pines looming above the fairways. The tough layout will force you to use every club in your bag but the generous and inviting landing areas offer some respite.

Great course and facilties.....better organization and oversight needed

We played garnet and black on this course. Course itself was great....well maintained. Only issues were lack of organization (just find a cart instead of having them in a designated spot) and very slack oversight on the players (literally 5 golf carts of single players parked near tee box of 9th hole for black course....no players in sight.....guessing one of them lived right there....meanwhile there's virtually no carts available)

Great experience

Great course layout & friendly vibe & beautiful environment! Being mid February, the dormant areas were fairly matted down, but the greens were fantastic! Would love to play during summer conditions for an even better experience.

Good Course

Course was in very well kept shape, greens have already been aeriated for the summer so that is nice a little bumpy from players not fixing their divots but in good shape. Only thing i wasn't pleased with was the bunker conditions they were atrocious. Played in the middle of the day so it was smoking hot but there was no one out there.

Pack your patience, otherwise it's an amazing course

Let me preface this by saying that I have played Cobblestone Park at least 30 different times over the last 15 years. I have played there and literally been the only person on the course aside from the staff. I've played there when there's groups of 6 people ahead and behind me. I've seen it all.

I personally think it's the best conditioned and best designed layout in Columbia. It is worth the extra to pay for the conditions that the course can be played under. Out of 18 greens (Garnet/Black) - only one had a dead patch and the rest were phenomenal. They had been recently punched, so they were a little more bumpy than I am used to.

Packing your patience as a single player is important because sometimes you'll get sandwhiched between a group of 6, or a two some like I was. I hadn't played in a year and was getting back used to playing so I didn't want to slow either group down by joining them.

My only recommendation would be if there are going to be bigger groups that they consider sending groups off of the Black nine and the Garnet nine at the same time. The Gold nine was not open which is my preferred nine there. I WISH they had 36 holes.
