Thinking About Living in Cobblestone Park Golf Club?
Get connected with a local real-estate specialist who understands Cobblestone Park Golf Club and the surrounding Columbia / Midlands golf market.
Cobblestone Golf Club (formerly Cobblestone Park Golf Club, originally The University Club) is a 27-hole, P.B. Dye-designed course in Blythewood, opened in 1995 and long serving as the University of South Carolina Gamecocks golf teams' home practice venue. After operating mostly as public daily-fee play under D.R. Horton ownership (D.R. Horton bought the surrounding land in 2013 and built mass-market homes around the course), McConnell Golf -- the Southeast's largest private-club operator -- acquired and rebranded the club in March 2025, returning it to a genuine private-club membership model with reciprocal access across McConnell's ~17-property portfolio.
Golf & Course
27 holes across three nines named for USC's colors (Black, Gold, Garnet), designed by P.B. Dye, opened 1995; a 30-acre practice facility includes a 14,000 sq ft putting green. Home practice venue for the USC Gamecocks men's and women's golf programs.
Membership & Access
Does buying a home here include club membership?
Private under McConnell Golf ownership as of March 2025 (member-gated online tee-time booking; marketed as 'exclusive access'), reversing a prior mostly-public era (2013-2024) under D.R. Horton when member play was only ~20% of ~33,000 annual rounds. Current fee schedule not confirmed this session.
Living in Cobblestone Park Golf Club
D.R. Horton built mass-market homes (originally low $200s, now $400s+) around the course after acquiring the surrounding land in 2013; no evidence found that homeowners are required to hold club membership. The club itself, however, is now a McConnell Golf-owned private property, distinct from the residential HOA.
