Golf that helps combat veterans come home.

The North Texas Warrior Golf Association uses the game of golf and the camaraderie around it to help combat-wounded veterans transition into civilian life. Every program is free to the warriors we serve.

In short

NTWGA is a 100% veteran-led, 501(c)(3) mental-health wellness nonprofit based in Fort Worth, Texas. We give disabled combat veterans across North Texas free golf clinics, lessons, outings, trips and tournament play, so they can rebuild physical health, mental wellness and community after service.

Who we are

Built by warriors, for warriors.

Since 2015 every member of our Board of Directors and every Warrior Ambassador has been a veteran who personally benefited from the healing and community our golf programs provide. Our job is to pay it forward.

  • Golf clinics, lessons and outings designed for veterans coping with injuries, PTSD or the move to civilian life
  • Peer support and social connection through regular group activities and special events
  • A renewed sense of purpose, built on camaraderie, resilience and confidence on and off the course
