Central Oregon is set to become a hub for adaptive golf enthusiasts this summer, thanks to the efforts of Oregon Adaptive Sports (OAS). The organization is launching its 2026 summer golf season with a series of new events aimed at expanding opportunities for individuals with disabilities to engage in the sport.

Community Clinic and BBQ Kickoff

The season kicks off with an Adaptive Golf Community Clinic on May 28, from 9:30 a.m. to 12:00 p.m., at Sunriver Resort Meadows Golf Course. This clinic is designed to build skills and foster connections among adaptive golf coaches, OAS athletes, and community members. Registration is available online for those interested in participating.

Following the clinic, Sunriver Golf will host the OAS Sunriver Community Golf Kickoff BBQ on June 2, from 4:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. at the Meadows Golf Pro Shop. This free event is open to all, including people with and without disabilities, and marks the start of a full season of adaptive golf programming at Sunriver Golf.

Expanding Opportunities

The new programming at Sunriver complements OAS’s existing initiatives at Awbrey Glen Golf Club, providing expanded ways for athletes and community members with disabilities to connect through golf throughout the summer. OAS community golf sessions at Sunriver Resort are scheduled for June 30, July 28, August 25, and September 22. These events reflect a shared commitment to creating inclusive outdoor recreation opportunities.

Participants are encouraged to bring personal mobility equipment if needed, and one adaptive golf cart will be available during the clinic. Additional golf programming will continue throughout the season at Awbrey Glen. More information about OAS Golf programming can be found at oregonadaptivesports.org.
