McConnell Golf has acquired Cobblestone Park Golf Club in Blythewood, S.C., renaming it Cobblestone Golf Club. This addition strengthens McConnell Golf’s position as a leader in the private club industry, bringing its portfolio to 17 properties across the Southeast.
As part of this transition, Cobblestone Golf Club will also debut a new logo designed by McConnell Golf, reflecting the club’s new chapter under its ownership while honoring the local community.
Cobblestone Golf Club is celebrated for its 27-hole championship course, which is divided into three distinct nine-hole layouts: the Garnet, Black, and Gold courses. Designed by P.B. Dye, son of legendary designer Pete Dye, the course features rolling hills, tree-lined fairways, and strategically placed bunkers that challenge golfers of all skill levels. The club’s well-maintained course and commitment to exceptional service have cemented its reputation as one of the premier golfing destinations in South Carolina.
The Gold Course is known for its wide fairways and scenic views, making it beginner-friendly while still presenting challenges for experienced players. The Garnet Course demands accuracy with its narrow fairways and water hazards, while the Black Course offers dramatic elevation changes and picturesque vistas. Together, these courses provide variety, ensuring every round is a new adventure.
Cobblestone Golf Club is designed to meet the diverse needs of every visitor. Its state-of-the-art clubhouse serves as the heart of the club, offering stunning views of the course and a variety of special event spaces. Within the clubhouse, guests will find a well-stocked pro shop featuring top-tier golf equipment and apparel, along with Alexander’s Restaurant.
The club also features practice facilities, including a driving range, chipping area, and putting greens, allowing golfers to hone their skills before or after a round. For those looking to improve their game, professional golf lessons are available, led by experienced instructors.
Cobblestone regularly hosts tournaments and events, making it a hub for the local golf community. From amateur tournaments to corporate outings and charity fundraisers, the club’s team is experienced in organizing events that run smoothly and create lasting memories.
Situated in the charming town of Blythewood, Cobblestone Golf Club enjoys a serene setting that feels like a retreat from the bustle of daily life. Its convenient location near Interstate 77 makes it easily accessible for visitors from Columbia and beyond. The club is also part of a larger residential community, offering residents the opportunity to live in a tranquil, golf-centric environment.
“McConnell Golf is committed to preserving and enhancing the unique character of each club we bring into our portfolio,” said John McConnell, founder and CEO of McConnell Golf. “Cobblestone Golf Club is a true gem in the South Carolina golf community, and we are honored to usher in this exciting new chapter. This acquisition perfectly aligns with our mission to deliver exceptional golfing experiences and build a sense of community within our membership.”
Recognition of McConnell Golf’s commitment to excellence is evident in the accolades its courses receive. In 2024, for the fourth consecutive year, 10 of McConnell Golf’s North Carolina properties were ranked among the state’s Top 100. Additionally, The Reserve Golf Club and Musgrove Mill Golf Club continue to be recognized among South Carolina’s Top 100, further underscoring McConnell Golf’s presence and influence across the Palmetto State.
