Slope N/A
Rating N/A

Formerly known as the University Club, Cobblestone Park Golf Course may have changed names but it still offers one of the best courses in the Midlands. There are a total of 27 holes, which are divided into three distinct nines. The holes stretch across more than 240 acres of rolling hills. The Black nine is the longest of the three and naturally the most challenging as well. A variety of elevation changes come into play, ranging from subtle to dramatic. The golf course even features some of the highest points in Richland County, providing scenic views throughout your round. There are strategically placed bunkers lurking throughout and mature oaks and pines lining the fairways but the challenges are balanced by wide landing areas that are nice and inviting.

Golf Heaven

Course was in great shape! Only played there twice, but they have 27 holes (only 27 hole course in Columbia that I know of). I played 9 on garnet and went back the next day and played 18 on garnet and black, and I’ll definitely be going back soon. They also have a pretty nice practice green and driving range so I could easily see myself or anyone who loves the game spending a whole day out there!

Fun and challenging

I finally got to play this course on weekday because it’s kinda pricy on weekends, however the price during the week is worth it if you can swing it. We played 2 of the 3 nines available (Gold and Garnet), the topography changes are pretty drastic and can be difficult if you have never played a hilly course before. We got put in a group of 4 (which I don’t really like golfing with strangers, but whatever) and that was a little unexpected. Overall we had a great experience and would definitely go back.

Nicest course in Cola

Best course in Columbia by far even with freshly punched greens. Only bone to pick is why hole #1 on Black had only 1 rake for the 5 bunkers and #3 on Garnet had 3 rakes alone in the fairway bunker. All in all take the time to check it out.

Amazing

Coming from New Jersey, I wasn’t sure what to expect. This course and the friendly staff blew my expectations away. They made me feel welcome, and made it so I had the best experience possible. From the amazing range and practice areas, to THREE amazing 9 hole track that are in perfect condition.

Very Nice Course

Very nice course. The staff are mostly very friendly and the course is in good shape. There were a few bunkers with standing water as it had rained the night before. I am not a fan of blind shots and this course has a few.

This was the best GolfNow rate I have seen in a while. I think the normal weekday rate of $52 and the $80 rate on Saturday and Sunday is too high for this course.
