MORE THAN A

GOLF COURSE

Greater Than a Game

Cobbs Creek Golf Course is a historic public course in the heart of West Philadelphia that has served millions since 1916.

The Cobbs Creek Foundation is reinventing these 350 acres as a dynamic education and recreation campus to benefit our community and our city—and to establish a national model for golf as a lever for societal change.

Guided by History,
Inspired by Change

EDUCATIONAL + COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT

Cobbs Creek Golf Course has game-changing history of opening doors for people often marginalized in society and specifically by golf.

The Cobbs Creek Campus, when completed, will extend this legacy by making real our vision of an inclusive golf and educational campus for our neighbors in West Philadelphia and beyond.

Through unique programming, outreach, and partnerships, we are working to amplify the voices of our community and of younger generations, while inspiring many to bring about change in the world.

A groundbreaking public links, originally designed by celebrated golf architect Hugh Wilson (of Merion Golf Club fame), Cobbs Creek would become the home course of Hall of Famer Charlie Sifford.

On the foundation of this storied history, we will now build many futures.

First, renowned architects Gil Hanse and his partner, Jim Wagner, are restoring the Olde Course into a championship layout, the centerpiece of a golfing complex expected to attract over a quarter of a million annual visitors.

This model will in turn become a driver of change—generating revenue to support our TGR Learning Lab and community programs, while driving substantial economic impact for the City of Philadelphia.
