Who We Are
Our mission is to increase participation of people with disabilities in the game of golf.
The National Alliance for Accessible Golf (Alliance) is the leader in inclusion— working to ensure the opportunity for all individuals with disabilities to play the game of golf. Formed in the summer of 2001, the National Alliance is represented by major golf, recreation and therapeutic organizations in the United States; organizations that provide services for people with disabilities; and others who advocate for the inclusion of people with disabilities into society.
Through golf, individuals with disabilities become actively engaged in the social fabric of a community, and derive health benefits that improve quality of life. The National Alliance headquarters is located in Jupiter, FL, and is governed by a Board of Directors representing those organizations instrumental in forming the National Alliance and administered by an Executive Director.
The National Alliance for Accessible Golf is a 501(c)(3) charitable organization.

What We Do
Awareness
The National Alliance utilizes our platforms - including the Adaptive Golf Hall of Fame, the Golf Access and Inclusion Network® (GAIN), Golf Inclusion Monthly®, the Alliance Education Hub, and the Programs, Facilities and Adaptive Golf Cars Database - to promote public awareness related to the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and to drive the creation of golf instructional programs to bring individuals with disabilities into the game of golf.
Creating awareness of the ADA and outlining actions to foster welcoming, accessible and inclusive places to learn and play the game of golf is central to our mission.
Training
Education and Technical Resources for Golf Facilities and Golfers
The National Alliance is available to provide technical guidance and education related to the ADA and the game of golf. We do do this through our Education Hub, speaking, participating in webinars, direct communications with golf facility leadership and golfers, and more. We also provide free resources on our platforms to facilitate information flow, provide checklists, policy templates, and more related to ADA compliance and golf operator responsibilities.
Grants
National Alliance Grant Program
The National Alliance has delivered more than $1million in grants since 2010 to organizations providing inclusive golf instructional programs and playing opportunities for individuals with disabilities. We are specifically focused on applications that demonstrate a focus on the inclusion of people with disabilities with the ultimate goal of enhancing their inclusion into the fabric of their community.
