Mission Statement
To empower veterans and service members by providing them with access to the sport of golf, fostering a supportive community where they can share experiences, create lasting bonds, and enjoy the camaraderie and mental health benefits of the game.
Our Heroes Deserve to be Supported
Golf for Freedom aims to be the leading non-profit organization that bridges the gap between military service and civilian life through golf, making the sport accessible to all ranks and branches of the military, and creating a nationwide network of golfing communities rooted in support, respect, and camaraderie.
Values
Respect
Honoring the service and sacrifices of military personnel by providing them with opportunities for enjoyment and personal growth.

Building a supportive network where veterans and active service members can feel a sense of belonging.
Inclusivity
Ensuring golf is accessible to all, regardless of economic background, skill level, or experience.
Empowerment

Make a Difference on and off the Course
By providing access to the therapeutic and community-building aspects of golf, we can offer veterans and service members a pathway to healing, camaraderie, and personal growth as they transition to civilian life.
With your support by either cash donation, donating clubs, or connecting us with golf course access, we can create a meaningful impact in the lives of those who have sacrificed so much for our freedom. Joining this cause means not only honoring their service but also actively participating in their journey towards wellness and fulfillment.
