Blythewood, SC (August 8, 2013) – The 27-hole Cobblestone Park Golf Club has been ranked #34 on the “Top 100” list of all-around Best Courses in America on GolfNow, a rating that relies on more than 100,000 reviews from everyday golfers.
Founded in 2001, GolfNow is the Internet’s largest and most comprehensive online tee-time reservation service. Using leading-edge technology, GolfNow offers golfers more ways to stay connected to more than 5,000 of their favorite courses and book tee times 24/7 through the web, e-mail and mobile apps.
GolfNow’s users have the opportunity to rank golf courses they have played through the tee-time service on a 5-Star grading system. Cobblestone Park earned an average of 4.62 Stars, with 64% of the reviewers giving the course a perfect ranking.
Review criteria includes 18-hole pace of play, course difficulty, course conditions, staff friendliness and value for the money.
The current GolfNow ranking has Cobblestone Park sharing “Top 100” honors with such other elite national courses as The Boulders Resort in Carefree, Az., and Grand Cypress Resort in Orlando, Fl.
“This is a meaningful recognition for Cobblestone Park because it comes directly from the average golfer who is looking for the best overall value in a round of golf,” says Cobblestone Park General Manager Tom Graber.
Managed by Atlanta-based Affiniti Golf Partners, Cobblestone Park Golf Club is a 27-hole, semi-private facility designed by P.B. Dye. Perched on high ground in the north Columbia suburb of Blythewood, its three nines ramble through the highest elevation and most dramatic contours in Richland County.
The course, which originally opened as The University Club in 1995, continues to serve as the home course and practice facility for the men’s and women’s golf teams from the University of South Carolina. Two of the three nines at Cobblestone Park, Black and Garnet, are named after USC’s school colors.
Golfnow.com operates in the US, Canada, Ireland and Scotland, and is headquartered in Orlando, FL, part of the NBC Sports family and NBCUniversal. It is the largest online tee time retailer in the world.
