Cobbs Creek Golf Course to open Little Horse Tavern this fall as $150 million restoration project progresses
The $150 million restoration of West Philly’s Cobbs Creek Golf Course will include a new bar and restaurant serving wood-fired pizza and a campus-wide food program run by Center City’s Fitler Club, the foundation behind the multi-year project announced Wednesday.
Little Horse Tavern, the main dining establishment at the new clubhouse, is set to open this fall in the same facility that will house a two-story driving range. The restaurant is inspired by the nickname of Charlie Sifford, the trailblazing golfer who starred at Cobbs Creek during its heyday and later became the first Black PGA Tour member in 1961.
Cobbs Creek Foundation, the nonprofit spearheading the renovation of the century-old course, will partner with the Fitler Club and Strother Enterprises for food and beverage at the 340-acre public campus. The two local hospitality firms will provide catering for private and community events, refreshment carts on the restored courses and food service for the youth-focused TGR Learning Lab that Tiger Woods’ foundation opened in the spring.
