Description
The Olde Course at Cobb's Creek Golf Club was once recognized as the "Sixth Best Municipal Golf Course in the United States" by Golfweek Magazine. A product of legendary golf course planner Hugh Wilson, who also designed Merion East in nearby Ardmore, Pa., the Olde Course was built in 1916.
Accuracy is a must on the front nine as the layout takes full advantage of Cobb's Creek, which meanders through the golf course and comes into play on the first six holes. The back nine is equally challenging and is highlighted by a string of lengthy holes, including the monstrous 638-yard 14th hole.
The par-71 Olde Course at Cobb's Creek Golf Club measures 6,202 yards from the longest tees. The golf course rating is 68.6, and it has a slope rating of 116 on rye grass.
