Cobbs Creek - Realizing Dreams
« on: December 02, 2024, 06:03:43 PM »
Sometimes, a little spark can start a blazing inferno.  To be honest, this project has progressed so far beyond all of our wildest dreams and for that we are enormously thankful and forever grateful to all of those philanthropic, civic-minded individuals who persevered to bring us to this point.   


Needless to say, without GolfClubAtlas and the ability to crowdsource like-minded, passionate individuals this would have died on the vine, so big thanks to Ran, et.al., as well.

Wow, awesome. So excited to see this fully realized... when I played it in 2019, the property was impressive, so having a facility and golf course to live up to that will be awesome. More importantly, excited to see how this can serve the community, and hopefully can act as a beacon for other municipalities to draw inspiration from.

Drew,


That was a fun day and if memory serves, you all had a nice place to play that afternoon, as well. 


Difficult to believe that was over 5 years ago now.   Thankfully, everyone involved at Cobbs Creek is in it for the long haul and we're thinking the restoration will be transformative, for both the golf course and the local communities.

Great video - thanks for sharing.
I've only followed the Cobbs Creek redevelopment a little bit, but this type of program is what more communities across North America need. Kudos to all involved.


Hope to be able to make it down someday and check it out!

Thanks for all of the kind comments.  Here's a bit more on what will likely be the most important legacy of this project.
