There’s Good News: Expanded adaptive golf opportunities coming to Central Oregon

SUNRIVER, Ore. (KTVZ) — Oregon Adaptive Sports (OAS) is launching its 2026 summer community golf season with new events and expanded opportunities for adaptive golf in Central Oregon. The season begins with an Adaptive Golf Community Clinic on May 28 and a Community Golf Kickoff BBQ on June 2, both held at Sunriver Resort Meadows Golf Course.

The new programming aims to enhance adaptive golf opportunities for individuals with disabilities in Central Oregon. OAS is partnering with Sunriver Resort, the US Adaptive Golf Alliance, and the Adaptive Golf Academy for these events, building on OAS's existing community golf initiatives.

The Adaptive Golf Community Clinic is scheduled for Thursday, May 28, from 9:30 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. at Sunriver Resort Meadows Golf Course. The clinic will focus on skill-building, connection and access to the game for adaptive golf coaches, OAS athletes and community members. Interested community members can register online through the event page.

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

This season introduces new golf opportunities at Sunriver, complementing OAS's long-standing Community Golf programming at Awbrey Glen Golf Club. Together, these programs will offer 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, Aug. 25 and Sept. 22. These events reflect a shared commitment to creating welcoming outdoor recreation opportunities for individuals with disabilities.
