COBBS CREEK GOLF & EDUCATION CAMPUS

The Cobbs Creek Golf and Education Campus is being developed to provide meaningful opportunities for the local community through education and golf. Led by the Cobbs Creek Foundation, the vision is to return the site to its status as one of Philadelphia’s historical landmarks. In partnership with local schools and community members, Cobbs Creek Foundation’s mission is to create a state-of-the-art, economically sustainable golf and educational campus that provides opportunity for the youth of Philadelphia by serving their academic, athletic, and social-emotional needs.

There are numerous ways to access the TGR Learning Lab Philadelphia. Parking is available for free adjacent to the Lab on the Cobbs Creek campus. You can also travel to the Lab via the 30, 65, 105, or 106 bus lines traveling to or from 69th Street Station. We recommend taking the bus to the nearest stop located between Rose Playground and 75th Street.

The campus will open in phases over the next two years. The TGR Learning Lab opened in April 2025 with the TGR Design short course scheduled to open summer 2025. A state-of-the-art indoor/outdoor golf practice facility, entertainment venue, restaurant, pro shop and Heritage Center sponsored by Lincoln Financial will follow. The Heritage Center will celebrate the life and legacy of the late Charlie Sifford with historical information, artifacts and more.

Cobbs Creek has always been more than just a golf course—it’s a place where history, community, and opportunity intersect. As we move toward opening the full campus, we’re excited to welcome golfers and neighbors alike to experience all that the Cobbs Creek Golf and Education Campus has to offer.
