As we turn the page into May, I want to take a moment to thank everyone for such a fantastic kickoff to the season. Masters Week at Cobblestone was a tremendous success, both in extending a warm welcome to travelers from around the world and in generating much-needed earlyseason revenue. The energy and participation truly set the tone for what we expect to be an outstanding season ahead both on and off the course.
April’s Member Match Play was one for the books. Congratulations to our winning team, Mr. Terry Mills and Mr. Gary Roths! We are especially looking forward to our showcase event, the Annual Men’s MemberGuest Tournament coming up at the end of May. This year’s theme is sure to ROCK and we look forward to seeing everyone on the course!
As our renovation projects wind down heading into the busy season, we hope you are pleased with the results on Black and Garnet. The bunker sand is settling in, the new sod is taking hold, and the course will continue to green up as temperatures rise in May. Work on the gold course remains on schedule to begin in November. We truly thank you for your patience during this process.
Around the club, several exciting enhancements are underway. On-course restrooms have been upgraded with new sinks and fixtures and new course water coolers and divot boxes have been placed. Our new Polywood patio furniture has arrived and we will be introducing these new pieces on the veranda this month. The golf shop will soon receive fresh paint and new carpeting and both the men’s and women’s lounges will see updates as well. Additionally, Dr. McConnell has finalized her selections for new flooring and furniture in Alexander’s, which will be installed in the coming months.
There are many exciting improvements on the horizon, and we truly appreciate your continued support as we work to enhance your Cobblestone experience. If I can ever be of assistance, please don’t hesitate to reach out. I look forward to seeing you around the club!

First, I just want to say thank you. The last couple of months have been incredible, and I truly appreciate all of the support everyone has shown for our events, dinners, and new ideas around the club. We are really hitting the ground running, and seeing the clubhouse full of smiling faces each week makes all the hard work worth it.
It has been so much fun bringing new flavors and experiences to Cobblestone. Pastabilities has quickly become a favorite, and our Pizza Bar night absolutely exceeded expectations. Watching everyone gather around good food, good drinks, and good company is exactly what we hoped for
I will be honest we are definitely tired but it is the good kind of tired The kind that comes from doing what you love and seeing members enjoy it right alongside you.
And trust me, we are just getting started. We have some big things planned for the summer season, with more themed nights, new menus, fresh ideas, and plenty of opportunities to make memories around the club.
Thank you again for all of your support, excitement, and encouragement. I look forward to seeing even more smiling faces around Cobblestone this summer.

The 2026 golf season is officially in full swing, and we are heading into the summer season full of excitement and enthusiasm.
As the weather heats up and tee sheets continue to fill up quickly, please make sure your tee times are filled with the proper player names and open up any unused spots so we may better accommodate fellow members and guests. We also ask everyone to continue doing their part in protecting the condition of the golf course by filling divots with sand, raking bunkers, and repairing ball marks.
Please take a moment to review the 2026 Member Events Schedule so you do not miss out on your favorite tournaments and events We are also just a few short weeks away from the 2026 Member/Guest, which is always one of the best weekends of the year filled with competition, excitement, and unforgettable memories.
As part of our commitment to keeping members updated on the latest golf equipment and technology, we encourage everyone to schedule a custom club fitting session this season. Club fittings are a great way to ensure you are making the right equipment decisions to improve your game for years to come.
Srixon – May 23
Callaway Golf – Friday, June 5 | 1:00 PM – 5:00 PM
Titleist – July 8 | 10:00 AM – 4:00 PM
TaylorMade Golf – TBD
Please call the Golf Shop to reserve your fitting appointment. Be on the lookout for additional fitting days throughout the season.
If new golf equipment is not currently in your plans for 2026, simple upgrades like re-gripping your clubs can still make a tremendous difference in your game. We will be running a re-gripping special through the month of June, so stop by the Golf Shop to check out our in-stock grip options.
Operation 36 Golf Academy
We are gearing up for semester two as the first semester was such a success. Every had such a wonderful time and we saw so much improvement in everyones game! Classes will be offered beginning in June for Men’s, Ladies’, and Junior divisions. Please see the Golf Staff for class dates, times, and additional information.
If you haven’t registered – here is why you should!
Operation 36 focuses on improving your game on the golf course not just on the practice tee Rather than spending months practicing before heading out to play, participants begin just 25 yards from the green, creating an early opportunity for success while building confidence and skill The goal is simple: improve enough to shoot 36 or better.
Participants will be able to log practice sessions and rounds played to earn points within the Operation 36 community Members will compete with other golf communities around the world in monthly challenges After each 9-hole event, the coaching staff will log scores into the app so players can easily track improvement and progress throughout the program.
Instead of occasional clinics or lessons, the Operation 36 program offers weekly classes designed to increase practice and performance in a fun, social, and engaging environment. Our coaching staff will deliver a structured curriculum each week while incorporating games and activities to help sharpen skills and build confidence.
This program has already been highly successful at more than 700 golf clubs around the world, and we know it will be a fantastic fit here at Cobblestone. More details regarding our Ladies’, Men’s, Junior, and Family programs will be shared soon, so stay tuned.
We look forward to seeing everyone around the Golf Shop and out on the course this summer










Enroll in the academy and track your progress with the Op 36 app!
Coaches can communicate with you, help set goals, and give you the tools to progress outside of class.

Most golf programs are incomplete.That is why the Cobblestone Operations 36 Academy uses the Operation 36® Development Model which centers around playing golf. The goal is to help you shoot par (36) or better for 9 holes.
STEP ONE: Develop Skills in Classes
We offer weekly group classes for you to attend that are educational and fun.
Coaches will provide you with a 9 hole playing experience with the Op 36 Model.
STEP THREE: Track Your Golf Journey
The Op 36 Mobile App is your guide outside of classes. It is designed to make it fun to track your golf progress.
















At Cobblestone Golf Club we believe that every golf program should be centered around playing golf and making it fun to track progress overtime. This is why our facility is excited to be a licensed Operation 36® facility. We leverage the Op 36 On-Course Format (see below) and technology to make it fun for our golfers to improve their skills.
Golfers Play 9 Holes From Level 1 (25 Yards)
Instead of starting at the full tee box, all golfers begin in Level 1 and will play 9 holes starting 25 yards from each green.
Shoot par (36) or better to pass Level
If they shoot par (36) or better, the golfer progresses to Level 2, where they start 50 yards from each green.
Complete the Division 10 challenge
This challenge continues until the golfer can shoot par (36) from all 10 levels!





I hope everyone is enjoying the beautiful Spring weather so far. We definitely seem to be going through an early drought this year. In March, we received only 1.25” of rain, and in April we have only had one rain event totaling .25”. While the dry weather helped allow the renovation project to finish by the start of April with no additional weather delays after a very wet February, we are now desperately needing rain for all of the new sod.
Throughout April, we have had to heavily water the newly sodded areas Yes, there were times the fairways may have seemed damp, but that was due to trying to keep the new sod healthy and alive. There are a few areas where the sprinklers do not fully reach, so we have had to plug into sprinkler sources with hose setups to make sure those spots receive proper water coverage. This is definitely the time where we could use some much-needed rainfall.

In early May, we will finally be able to apply our Spring fertilizer application on the Garnet side to help with growth and recovery from wear caused by construction equipment during the renovation We were unable to apply fertilizer earlier like we did on the Black side in late February because of the constant traffic from equipment
March temperatures fluctuated quite a bit, and while the Bermuda grass had greened up, it was not actively growing much yet. Once the warmer temperatures arrived in mid-April, the Bermuda really began to wake up and grow. You should start to notice many of the wear areas beginning their healing process and slowly growing back together.
As a quick note regarding the bunker renovation, the new sand has been tamped down, but as with all bunker renovations, it will still take time to fully firm up through rainfall and watering. We appreciate everyone’s patience while the bunkers continue to settle in.
I also want to personally thank all of the members who have been respectful and avoided driving across newly sodded areas. We truly appreciate your help, and I know everyone will enjoy the final results once those areas have had time to properly root in and establish themselves.
We will also be returning to our normal maintenance routine. On Mondays and Tuesdays, we will play Gold and one of the other sides to allow Garnet and Black to be fully mowed out, barring any outings that may require adjustments to the schedule. This will allow Garnet and Black to be the primary rotation Wednesday through Sunday.
Looking ahead, during the week of June 15, we will complete our annual core aerification of all greens We will be closed June 15 and 16 to help our team
Thank you all again for your patience and support throughout this renovation process. We look forward to seeing everyone out enjoying the golf course.

McConnell Golf once again placed all of its North Carolina private clubs among the state’s Top 100 courses, highlighted by four clubs earning Top 25 rankings in the North Carolina Golf Panel’s 30th annual statewide rankings, published in the April issue of Business North Carolina magazine
Leading the portfolio is Greensboro’s Sedgefield Country Club, home of the PGA TOUR’s Wyndham Championship, ranked No 7 in North Carolina Old North State Club in New London followed at No 11, while Raleigh Country Club climbed to No 15 Durham’s Treyburn Country Club made one of the year’s biggest moves, jumping four spots into the Top 25 at No 25 In total, 11 McConnell Golf courses earned Top 100 recognition statewide, marking a strong year of upward momentum across the company’s North Carolina portfolio
Several Triangle-area clubs posted notable improvements. The Country Club at Wakefield Plantation in Raleigh made a significant leap, rising to No. 75 from No. 94 last year. Treyburn’s move into the Top 25 further strengthened the region’s standing among the state’s premier courses. Eastern North Carolina also saw major gains, as Wilson Country Club surged into the Top 100 at No. 84 after being unranked last year one of the largest upward moves in this year’s rankings
Other McConnell Golf properties earning Top 100 honors include:
Country Club of Asheville, ranked No 52, up two spots year-over-year
The Cardinal by Pete Dye in Greensboro, ranked No 54, continuing its steady upward trend
