Courage Kenny Adaptive Golf- Twin Cities

With the help of our CKRI staff, volunteers, and adaptive golf professionals, you can learn the sport or improve your golf game through lessons and regular play. We offer a variety of ways and locations to get involved and learn the sport of golf. All sites offer 9-hole par 3 courses. 

Weekly Lessons 

Athletes work one on one with a trained volunteer to improve their game. Lessons are available for beginner through advanced golfers. Each week you will practice golf techniques on the putting green, driving range, or the executive course. Adaptive equipment, including adaptive carts can be provided. 
Locations:  
Eagle Lake Golf Course, Plymouth - Mondays 
The Loop at Chaska, Chaska - Wednesdays 

Non-Competitive League Play 
Courage Kenny also offers league-based play.  Volunteers are there to help those learning to play golf and those who want to return to golf after the onset of a disability. Golfers are assigned a “tee time” to play 9 holes and pay a green fee directly to the course. Adaptive equipment, including adaptive carts can be provided. 
Locations:  
Braemar Golf Course, Edina - Mondays 
Island Lake Golf Course, Shoreview - Thursdays 
Oak Glen Golf Course, Stillwater (no adaptive carts) - Fridays 

Discover Adaptive Golf Clinics 
Discover Adaptive Golf Clinics are one-time lessons for individuals new to adaptive golf, or for those unable to commit to a full season. During the clinics, you’ll learn and practice basic golf skills with volunteer instructors.  These clinics are typically offered a few times throughout the summer and at a variety of our golf partner locations. 

Courage Kenny Adaptive Golf is for individuals with disabilities, ages 6 and up. Our volunteers are trained specifically in techniques to teach individuals with physical or cognitive disabilities, many of whom may need the aid of adaptive equipment. This includes people who have amputation, visual impairment, stroke, cerebral palsy, brain injury, autism, spinal cord injury and other physical or cognitive disabilities. 

Depending on the location and availability, family and friends of athletes are encouraged to attend and play with the registered golfer (green fees may apply). 

Weather Policy 
Lessons will be canceled due to rain or hazardous weather. Cancellation decisions are made each lesson day based on local weather reports and other factors. No refunds are available for missed lessons or weather cancellations. 

Attendance Policy 
If you miss more than three lessons without prior notification, you lose your spot and the next person on the wait list will be given the choice to fill your position.
