For veterans and active-duty service members, the journey back to civilian life can be difficult. Many veterans face challenges ranging from physical disabilities to PTSD. Playing golf in a serene, natural setting can be beneficial for both the body and mind. The activity can relieve stress, anxiety and depression. And golf helps people form meaningful social connections.
As part of our commitment to promoting the physical, social and emotional well-being of those who’ve served our country, Odyssey Golf Foundation offers veterans and active duty service members free golf instruction and specially discounted rates on greens fees, golf outings and driving range visits.
Weekly Golf League for veterans and active duty service members are held throughout the entire season Monday – Sunday of each week. Make your own team make a tee time and sign up.

The weekly league is exclusively for veterans and active military personnel. The Odyssey Golf Foundation runs this fun golf league each week with a 4 person scramble. Prizes will be awarded weekly to winners.
