Adapted Golf

Rehabilitation Institute at Santa Barbara's Adapted Golf program was founded in 1975 with the goal of introducing or returning people with disabilities to the game of golf. The program is open to registered patients, as well as community members with physical, visual, and/or cognitive impairments.

An individualized golf program is designed for each participant by a golf professional and a recreation therapist. Golf clubs and special adaptive equipment are provided, but participants are encouraged to bring any of their own equipment. The participants practice on the driving range and putting green, and progress to the golf course as appropriate. An adapted golf cart is used to facilitate participant success.

The USGA Foundation and Ocean Meadows Golf Course support RISB's Adapted Golf program.
