Who We Are
We founded the Cobbs Creek Foundation, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, and attracted an array of public and private funding with one goal in mind: to turn our 350 acres into a campus that belongs to every Philadelphian, every local resident, students, families, and golf lovers everywhere.
The heart of our expanded mission is a self-sustaining model, enabling golf to become a vital conduit for social impact. We will retain our pioneering public links commitment to making golf accessible and will return this course to a championship level benefiting the city and region.
Best of all, the revenue generated from 36 holes for all levels of golfers and a best-in-class driving range complex, complete with a restaurant and our Heritage Center, will support the community-minded Cobbs Creek Campus. Here, a wealth of free programming for students in grades 1–12, as well as events for families, environmental stewards, and more, will thrive and grow.
Together, we are creating a campus of opportunities, all powered by golf.
OUR UNIQUE MODEL
Each Dollar Invested
in Brighter Futures
Once our work is complete, we estimate 285,000 annual visitors will come to Cobbs Creek Campus.
Whether they play 9 or 18 holes, hone their swings at our two-story Driving Range, or dine at our restaurant, they will all have at least one thing in common: the revenue they generate will directly support educational and community programming.
Community impact, powered by golf.
