Tee to Green Beginner Golf Program - 2026 - Fredericton, NB

The application period for Soldier On members wishing to participate in the Tee to Green Beginner Golf Program 22 April, 12 & 14 May 2026 is now open. The application deadline is 31 March 2026.

AIM AND SCOPE OF EVENT: 
Join us at West Hills Golf Course for a welcoming beginner golf experience designed specifically for Soldier On participants who are new to the game or just getting started. The program will begin with a golf simulator session to introduce basic swing techniques, followed by a driving range session to practice and build confidence. The experience wraps up with a relaxed 9-hole round on the course, giving participants the opportunity to try their new skills in a fun and supportive setting. 

To ensure the program remains comfortable and instructional for everyone, this opportunity is intended for beginner or newer golfers rather than regular or highly experienced players. If you don’t have equipment, no problem—golf clubs can be provided if needed. Just bring comfortable clothing, a positive attitude, and come enjoy some time on the course. 

The number of Soldier On participants is limited to 12.

ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA: 
Any serving member or veteran of the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) from the Fredericton Area who acquired a permanent physical or mental health illness or injury while enrolled as a member of the CAF; whether attributable or not to service.
