ADA Counseling: Make It Anyone's Game
According to the National Center on Accessibility, there are 18 million disabled individuals who would like to play golf, but have quit trying or don't know where to get started. The biggest challenges are simply learning to play and gaining access to golf courses. They need instruction and facilities.
As the golf industry struggles to gain new golfers, you can grow your business and attract a new segment of golfers by becoming a Recognized Accessible Golf Course. Once your golf facility has met standard criteria for accessibility, FGA will post your facility onto our Freedom Golf Map where special needs golfers can obtain information on your course.
Increasing participation is paramount to golf's survival. Grow your business by helping people with disabilities become actively engaged, assist with their physical and social rehabilitation enjoyment of life and earn their business and appreciation.

FGA interfaces with the Great Lakes ADA Center to provide assistance to golf facilities in complying with the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 at no charge. This counseling relates not only to new construction, but also to existing structures as well.
Freedom Golf Association (FGA) will also provide guidance to any golfing facility that wishes to become more “accessible” for the disabled player relating in part to practice ranges, tees, greens, and sand bunkers.
