HOW DRIVING OUR FUTURE WILL BENEFIT MEMPHIS
THE LOREN ROBERTS FAMILY CLUBHOUSE AND LEARNING CENTER
The Driving Our Future campaign represents a significant investment in Memphis and its young people, using the game of golf as a platform to create opportunity, build character, and strengthen community. At the heart of this effort is the revitalization of Links at Audubon and the creation of the Loren Roberts Family Clubhouse and Learning Center, which will establish a permanent home for First Tee programming in Memphis. Together, these investments will create an accessible and welcoming environment where children and families can learn, connect, and grow.
The impact will extend well beyond the golf course. Through year-round programming, mentorship, educational opportunities, and community engagement, the new facility will give young people a place to develop confidence, integrity, perseverance, and leadership skills that will serve them throughout their lives. In partnership with the City of Memphis, the Tennessee Golf Foundation is helping transform Links at Audubon into a community asset that honors Memphis golf history while creating new opportunities for generations to come.

Investing in the Future of Memphis

More Than a Clubhouse
The Loren Roberts Clubhouse and Learning Center at the Links at Audubon will be more than a building. It will be a place where young people can develop the confidence, character, and skills that will serve them for a lifetime.
As the permanent home of First Tee in Memphis, the facility will provide:
- Year-round youth programming
- Mentorship and positive role models
- Educational opportunities
- A safe, welcoming space for children and families
Inspired by Memphis golf legend Loren Roberts, this investment honors the past while creating opportunities for generations to come.
The Clubhouse and Learning Center represents a long-term commitment to the Memphis community—a place where young people can learn, grow, and thrive, both on and off the golf course.
Together, we can create a lasting impact on thousands of young people for decades to come.

Every child deserves a place to belong, to grow, and to dream... the Loren Roberts Family Clubhouse and Learning Center will be that place in Memphis.
WHERE THE COMMUNITY COMES TOGETHER
At the heart of the project is a vision for Audubon Park as a place that brings people together. More than a destination for golf, the park serves families, neighbors, athletes, professionals, and visitors from across Memphis, creating opportunities to connect, gather, and enjoy one of the city’s most recognizable public spaces.
The new restaurant will build on that sense of community by becoming a destination in its own right, not simply an amenity for golfers finishing a round. With scenic views of Audubon Park, a welcoming atmosphere, and a menu that appeals to the broader community, it will be a place where families gather for dinner, friends meet for lunch, professionals conduct business over coffee, and neighbors celebrate special occasions.
Whether visitors arrive from the golf course, the tennis center, a morning walk, or simply to enjoy a great meal, the restaurant will provide a year-round gathering place that strengthens Audubon Park’s role as one of Memphis’ premier community destinations.
