Getting there
Cobblestone Park Golf Club sits in the rolling Midlands of South Carolina, roughly ninety minutes northeast of Charleston International Airport (CHS), the region's primary gateway, or an hour and a half north of Columbia Metropolitan Airport (CAE) for those departing from the state capital. The drive from either hub carries you through the quiet countryside of Richland County, where the landscape gradually shifts from coastal lowland to the gentle piedmont terrain that defines this corner of the state. Private aviation is well-served by nearby Columbia's Jim Hamilton-L.B. Owens Airport, cutting travel time to mere minutes from the club's gates. The final stretch into Blythewood unfolds along tree-lined roads that frame the approach to Cobblestone Park's manicured grounds, where the architecture and routing of the Black course await against a backdrop of native Carolina woodland.
