The National Alliance for Accessible Golf was formed in the summer of 2001 by leaders from the golf industry and representatives of organizations serving people with disabilities and golfers with disabilities.

The mission of the Alliance is to increase participation of people with disabilities in the game of golf.

The "Alliance" is housed at Indiana University's National Center on Accessibility in Bloomington, Indiana, and is administered by a Board of Directors representing those organizations instrumental in forming the Alliance.

Through the game of golf individuals with disability become actively engaged in the social fabric of a community, and derive health benefits that improve quality of life.

To ensure the opportunity for all persons with disability to fully engage in the game of golf.

• All individuals are entitled to play the game of golf regardless of their ability, socio-economic condition or experience.
• Golf contributes directly to social inclusion in the fabric of a community.
• The game of golf must be accessible and affordable for all.
• Direct health benefits are derived from playing golf.
• Information about the benefits of golf for persons with disability and the golf industry must be constantly shared with the media, public, health, rehabilitation, recreation and golf professionals
