Cobblestone Park Golf Club - Gold Course
About
Cobblestone Park Golf Club has 27 championship holes that stretch across more than 240 acres of rolling hills. The course has some of the highest points in Richland County, providing panoramic views on nearly every hole. Formerly known as the University Club, Cobblestone Park is home to the University of South Carolina's golf teams. The holes are divided into three nines, each with a unique character, though they are all defined by the rolling hills. The Gold nine is the shortest of the three but thanks to the elevation changes, you don't miss the length. There are strategically placed bunkers lurking along the greens and tall oaks and pines line the fairways. In addition to the 27-hole course, Cobblestone Park G.C. also boasts one of the largest private practice facilities in the South, which includes a large driving range, pitching and putting greens, and a practice bunker.

Best course we found in Columbia Area.
We really enjoyed the course. Much better than others we played in the area. The conditions were excellent. The Masters Week surcharge was a little bit crazy. Starter was very friendly. Pace of play was extremely slow. Bartender was a great guy with an excellent dinner recommendation.
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.
Didn't play
I didn't play golf on 1/11/2024, because I was sick.
Epic
Totally worth it! Very challenging, very rewarding! It’s gunna hand you your lunch in a couple holes but stay in it! Around every turn was fresh green grass and amazing views with waterfalls rock walls and bridges! Unforgettable!
Staff was friendly and great!
Great course and extremely great staff! Pace of play was normal for sunny day.
Great track
Lots of variety on the course. Challenging elevated greens. Great staff!

Very nice course! Layout is awesome. Greens were in great shape but will be even better in a few more weeks once they fill in a little more from being punched.

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.
bradgolf1997, thanks for the amazing review and for choosing Cobblestone Park Golf Club - Gold Course. We hope to see you again soon!
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.
Thank you for taking the time to share your extensive experience and positive feedback about Cobblestone Park. We apologize for any inconvenience you experienced with larger groups, and we appreciate your recommendation regarding sending groups off of different nines simultaneously. We are glad to hear that you enjoy the course and its conditions, and we hope to see you again soon.
