Greens condition are terrible, bunkers also,
 rest of the course is great .
 If you like cheap golf and bad greens, this is the place.

I played Cobblestone on Wednesday, July 15 and was disappointed.
The layout, staff, and fairways are all excellent. The greens and most of the bunkers were horrible.
The greens were pretty thick and not well taken care of at all. You can tell they've had some work but not enough.
A lot of the bunkers were just mud. No sand, just good mud or dried mud.
 I was behind a slow group of players but chalked that up to their course manners.
The rangers came through to every so often to check pace of play (and to make sure we were doing okay because I had my wife and kids with me.)
The views of the lake make this course worth playing as most holes border Lake Acworth.
 I'll give this course higher ratings once I see massive improvement in the greens and bunkers.
The free round on your birthday is a plus as well.
I did have to pay $9.00 for the wife and kids to ride but that was expected so it was no big deal.

I played this course 07/11/2009 and saw improvement in the condition of the course.
The fairways are beautiful and are well maintained. The greens are improving, but still have bare spots.
They seem to be watering often to improve the condition and working on some necessary repairs.
The course was booked solid and the rangers did an excellent job maintaining pace of play.
The service was excellent (even brought wet towels to cool you off)
This is still one of my favorite layouts, they just need to bring the greens back to where they were a couple of years ago.

I've played there twice now, really great staff, course has great waterfront views.
Tons of wildlife! The course was in excellent condition except for the greens.
They could use a little work. Pace of play was nice too

I played Cobblestone on Saturday May 23.
Those of you who have played there know that the course is on the banks of Lake Allatoona,
 and that there are spectacular views of the lake from a lot of the holes.
The course layout is excellent. Each hole is different, and from the tee boxes, you are required to think up and pull off good shots in order to score well.
The greens were in fair condition. They will get much better as the bermudagrass takes off this summer.
Fairways and tee boxes are in good shape.
I would encourage Cobblestone to get with the program and offer us some LMTT deals.
Why would I play Cobblestone for a full weekend greens fee of $69 ($49 for weekend twilight)
when I can play the LMTT rate at Barnsley Gardens for $75 or the LMTT rate at St Marlo for $50.
My point is that using LMTT you can play much better courses for the same money they are charging and you can play comparable courses for less money.
So I probably wont be back anytime soon (unless someone else is picking up my greens fees...like a work function.)
Fun course though.

I played here on 5/9/09. They have a great birthday rate (FREE!).
The course was in good shape, even from the recent rains and a tournament they had the day before.
The fairways were good, a few soft areas again due to the rain.
The pace was just over 4 hours, with the rangers keeping things moving, but in a polite way.
 The cart ladies came around plenty of times, so there was no shortage of getting something to eat or drink.
The course is fair but very challenging.
The greens were very fast and the ball rolled well on them.
It is a good course and I will go back soon.
