Central Links Golf, in partnership with other Central Region Golf Associations, is excited to announce the Midwest Adaptive Open to be held September 10-11, 2025. This new Championship will be played at Sand Creek Station in Newton, Kansas, home of the 3rd U.S. Adaptive Open Championship, hosted by the USGA in the summer of 2024. The Midwest Adaptive Open will be open to golfers of various classifications of impairments, such as individuals with arm and leg impairments, amputations, blind golfers and those with neurological and intellectual impairments.
The Midwest Adaptive Open will consist of 36 holes of stroke play on September 10-11 with a practice round day hosted on September 9th. The field will be limited to the first 60 applicants and will be open to anyone from around the country to participate, not just Central Region members. Golfers with physical and intellectual impairments who have a handicap index of 36.4 or lower are eligible to compete in the championship. The Midwest Adaptive Open is open to male and female professional golfers and amateur golfers.

Volunteering: Volunteer signups will be available May 1st. More details on how to get involved will be released closer to the championship, but live scorers, rules officials, ball spotters among other needs will be welcomed. To learn more, please contact Taylor Maloney at taylor@clgolf.org.
