PHILADELPHIA — The renovation of the historic Cobbs Creek Golf Club is causing controversy. Some neighbors say the multi-million dollar makeover is going too far.
An aggressive plan took shape to rehab this historic public golf club after it was shuttered in 2020. In fact, so much of the growth and forests were taken down, stretches of banks along the creeks were visible for the first time in generations.Trees are down all over the place. The golf course looks post-apocalyptic.There have been questions and criticisms over the number of trees removed.“It looks rough out there,” Councilmember Curtis Jones said.
“After all of the disinvestment, that there is investment coming, some $60-million plus in an urban environment that’s going to increase property values for all of the folk in the neighborhood,” Jones said.
