Restoring Cobbs Creek Golf Course

Total Turf Golf Services and the Cobbs Creek Foundation are combining with Gil Hanse and Jim Wagner on the restoration of the Cobbs Creek Golf Course, a 350-acre Philadelphia campus scheduled to be completed in phases over the next three years.

The campus will include an 18-hole championship golf course, a new 9-hole course, golf entertainment venue, practice facility, TGR Learning Lab and TGR Design short course. The Cobbs Creek Golf Campus will serve as a hub for education and golf opportunities for the Philadelphia community.

In 2022, the Cobbs Creek Foundation entered a long-term lease agreement with the City of Philadelphia to restore and revitalize the Cobbs Creek Golf Course and create a new education and community center on the site of the storied public course. The foundation is leading the project to restore the historic course into a high-quality public space for all Philadelphians. As part of the redevelopment, the foundation has committed to restorative sustainability of the property’s landscape. The foundation is restoring three miles of Cobbs Creek, Indian Creek and adjacent tributaries. The creek restoration will include new wetlands for long-term sustainability and flood-risk reduction for the campus and the surrounding community.

Hanse and Wagner, who both have strong ties to the Philadelphia community, are leading restoration work on the 18-hole Olde Course and building a new championship 9-hole course. The restored Olde Course is scheduled to open for play in the summer of 2026, while the new 9-hole course will open in 2027.

In support of the Cobbs Creek Golf Course renovation, Total Turf is donating $300,000 and several sets of youth golf clubs to empower Philadelphia’s young golfers. Additionally, employees have volunteered a full day to assist with the renovation, reinforcing the company’s commitment to both the project and the local community.
