Special Olympics Iowa Unified Golf pairs individuals with intellectual disabilities with Unified partners (golfers without intellectual disabilities) to compete in a team environment. Unified Sports are crucial to our mission as they promote inclusion and friendship for all.
Several skill levels are offered to meet the skill level of any athlete:
- 9-Hole: Pro (knows the game and skills for a full golf game)
- 6-Hole: Intermediate (knows the basics of golf but still improving skills)
- 3-Hole: Beginner (just learning the game of golf)
There is no charge to participate. Lunch and water will be provided along with awards at the end of play.
Unified Golf events are held in:
- Sioux City
- Cedar Rapids
- Davenport
- Dubuque
- Granger
- Muscatine
- Spencer
- Vinton
