Golf

The Cincinnati Recreation Commission and Billy Casper Golf are the proud recipients of a second grant funded by the United States Golf Association. In May of 2006, we again received a grant for $12,000 from the USGA to improve accessibility on the golf courses within the City of Cincinnati. In 2005-2006 we spent $4,000 for the facilitation of golf programming for individuals with disabilities through the implementation of golf clinics, group golf lessons and reduced rate individual lessons. Through the USGA grant we received a matching grant totaling $16,000 to acquire two brand new Solo Rider single rider golf carts to be used on our seven CRC courses. The accessible golf carts can be used by individuals with any type of mobility impairment (not limited to wheelchair users). We are currently trying to raise another $8,000 in order to again match the USGA grant and obtain two additional Solo Rider carts. If you are interested in helping us achieve this goal, please contact Alayne at (513)352-4945. All donations are tax deductible through the Cincinnati Recreation Commission (a 501© 3 organization).

Accessible Individual Golf Lessons
These lessons are for anyone who would like to work individually with a PGA Pro at a course near their home! Lessons can be arranged with a specific pro that has experience working with individuals with disabilities. You can arrange for as many or as few sessions as you like! The fee is $10 per half hour. For more information or to obtain the names of our PGA Pros at CRC courses, please call Ann-Marie at (513)352-2549.
