Historic Cobbs Creek Golf Club’s makeover has an all-star lineup in Gil Hanse and Jim Wagner leading the course renovation and Tiger Woods and Beau Welling designing a short course attached to the TGR Learning Center. But there’s another major-championship star involved in the project in West Philadelphia: three-time major winner Jordan Spieth.
The Texan’s Jordan Spieth Family Foundation announced last year that it would donate $250,000 to build a junior putting green at Cobbs Creek to help introduce more young people in that part of the city to golf. Cobbs Creek, which opened in 1916, is site of the first public golf course in the Greater Philadelphia area and is undergoing a multimillion-dollar redevelopment by the Cobbs Creek Foundation.
