Having not played Cobblestone in ~15 years I was hoping to find the track as I remembered it during my Junior academy days.....thankful not much has changed since then! We played on a wet Monday so it was wide open (no bev cart only downside, maybe just a Monday thing?). Best value for the money after scoring a Hot deal on golfnow. Even with-out a "hot deal," seems to be a great value for the money at their standard rates.

This course has a great layout of holes and is walkable with-out much distance between greens and the next tee box but you better be prepared for a few steep hills and lots of mounds to navigate all over the course.

Greens were in great shape compared to others this time of year but some folks still can't grasp the concept of repairing ball marks to HELP maintain these great greens along Lake Acworth's picturesque fall foliage. Only #7 fairway had an area of "ground under repair" or should have been roped off as such.

Undulations (fairways & greens) are plentiful and you better "miss" on the right side of the hole or you'll be left with a challenging putt. Expect to play a bunch of side/up/down hill lies throughout your round (even on the "flat" holes). Bermuda rough isn't long but it causes the ball to sit down so be sure to take an extra club, or two, if you hope to get to the hole. No gps in carts but lots of marked sprinkler heads and drains to help keep the pace of play moving along.

Grounds keepers, cart attendants, and pro shop staff were all extremely friendly - thanks for another great memory at Cobblestone!

Overall good layout and conditions other than #3 green (chemical mishap) and not raking any bunkers prior to the day's play. It had rained the day prior so it was path only however "someone" had organized a "2 man best ball" for the members starting first thing Saturday AM. After inquiring about it with the Marshall, he informed us basically each player hits 2 balls on every shot then chooses which of those 2 he/she wants to play from next (essentially a mulligan on every shot, not your typical "best ball" format)! As you can imagine, VERY slow play at nearly 5.75 hours (918 start finished just after 3P and no stop at turn)! We planned for 5 hours based on reviews and one of our players in the foursome ended up having to leave at the 5 hour mark to make a prior commitment that afternoon.

I was baffled that there was no gps in the carts and no yardages on sprinkler heads/drains, just your 100-150-200 markers. Overall yardage is deceiving at 6356 (white/blue) since most of the holes play at least 1 club, at times up to 3 clubs longer because of elevation changes. Short to no carry required off most tees other than a few of the par 3's. Good mix of holes and doglegs to challenge most any player.

Would recommend to call ahead prior to booking to make sure no tournaments scheduled the day you are trying to play!
