The home course of the University of South Carolina is now a part of the McConnell Golf portfolio.
Raleigh's McConnell Golf has added another golf course to its portfolio, this one with ties to the University of South Carolina.
McConnell has acquired Cobblestone Park Golf Club in Blythewood, South Carolina, and renamed it Cobblestone Golf Club.
Blythewood is located just north of Columbia and only 18 miles from the USC campus, so the club serves as the home to the Gamecocks' men's and women's golf teams.
In fact, the club's 27-hole course is divided into nine-hole parts known as the Garnet, Black and Gold courses. The course was designed by P.B. Dye, the son of Pete Dye.
South Carolina is packed with great golf courses, and rankings vary, but a 2022 ranking by GolfPass ranked Cobblestone the No. 7 public course in the state.
McConnell now has 17 properties across the Southeast. In South Carolina, McConnell already owned Musgrove Mill Golf Club in Clinton and The Reserve Golf Club in Pawleys Island.
“Cobblestone Golf Club is a true gem in the South Carolina golf community, and we are honored to usher in this exciting new chapter," CEO John McConnell said.

The Mexicans will face Turkey June 10 as part of 2025 MexTour shortly before the start of this summer's Concacaf Gold Cup.

This marks the third straight summer of Kenan Stadium hosting a soccer event. Chelsea played Wrexham in 2023, and Manchester City took on Celtic in 2024.

A recent release from CommercialSearch lauded the 2700 Benson Road property, home to the Garner Veterans Affairs Clinic, as the eighth-largest medical office development in the U.S. to be delivered this year.
But the release said the property was located in "the Carolina Triangle," which had us here at TBJ Plus looking askance.
The Carolina Triangle? What the heck is that?
