Barrier Free Golf and the Loop at Chaska | Episode 31


Listen Later

This episode of the National Links Trust Podcast features a recording of a recent Municipal Golf Network webinar highlighting Barrier Free Golf and their first project: The Loop at Chaska.

Barrier Free Golf is a nonprofit dedicated to making golf accessible to people with disabilities, veterans, juniors, and beginners of all ages. Their first project, The Loop at Chaska, is a 9-hole short course ( and putting course!) designed by Benjamin Warren in partnership with the City of Chaska, MN. Opened in spring 2024, it was specifically built with adaptive golfers in mind and has quickly become a community favorite. Looking ahead, Barrier Free Golf aims to collaborate with more municipalities to develop inclusive, engaging golf facilities. 

Joining our host and National Links Trust co-founder, Will Smith, are Paul Andersen, Chair of Barrier Free Golf’s Board of Directors, and Benjamin Warren, the course’s architect. They share insights on The Loop at Chaska, discuss the keys to a successful public-private partnership, and explore the organization’s vision for the future of accessible golf.
