What Cobblestone Golf Course does

Cobblestone Golf Course is an 18-hole, par 71 public golf course located on the banks of Lake Acworth in Acworth, Georgia, owned by Cobb County and operated under a management agreement by Bobby Jones Links, a third-party golf course management company. Opened in 1993 and fully renovated in 2010, the course features a Ken Dye-designed layout with Champion Bermuda greens, white sand bunkers, and seven holes running along Lake Acworth, and has been recognized by Golf Digest (Four-Star), Golf Magazine (Top 100 Courses You Can Play), and Golfweek (Best Municipal Courses in the US). In 2021, the clubhouse was expanded and new practice areas were constructed, adding capacity for a 19-station driving range, chipping, and putting greens.

The business operates a diversified revenue model anchored by public tee time bookings across the website and multiple third-party platforms (GolfNow Business, EZ Links Golf, TeeItUp.com), with ancillary streams including PGA private and group instruction, junior programs (PGA Jr. League, summer camps, after-school clinics), corporate outings and events, a Cobb Card tiered annual membership program (Red $29 to Gold $249), practice range token sales, and gift certificates. Distribution is direct-to-consumer via cobblestonegolf.com and the Gallus Golf-powered mobile app, with corporate outing sales handled direct by management. The 2025 launch of a Noteefy-powered Virtual Tee Time Assistant extended the booking funnel by notifying golfers when desired tee times become available.

The company serves four primary customer segments: general public Metro-Atlanta golfers, junior golfers (ages 6-17) participating in youth development programs, corporate groups booking outings and tournaments, and adult beginners entering the Get Golf Ready clinic series. Technology integrations are limited to off-the-shelf golf-tech vendors — Gallus Golf for the mobile app, Noteefy for tee time notifications, and GolfNow Business for booking infrastructure — with no proprietary AI/ML or platform development disclosed. The organization is led by General Manager Paul Carey with a small executive team covering golf operations, instruction, course maintenance, F&B, and finance, and reports into Cobb County ownership rather than operating under independent commercial governance.
