Our Life Changing Golf Trips
Our Fairways for Freedom® golf trips are truly unique experiences, and each year we conduct three different types of journeys — Red, White and Blue Trips.
Red Trips
Red Golf Trips are retreats for veterans only, usually in the U.S., with an emphasis on therapeutic sessions, relaxing activities such as hiking, fly fishing and horseback riding, and mindfulness and yoga. They also include lots of golf practice time, golf instruction and play on easier courses.
White Trips
White Golf Trips are international trips, with travel to Ireland, Scotland and other beautiful international locations. There is an emphasis on therapeutic sessions and mindfulness and yoga, plus golf practice time, golf instruction and two optional golf days. We stay in one hotel the entire trip.
Blue Trips
Blue Golf Trips are more demanding all around, with more intense itineraries and therapeutic sessions, including mindfulness and yoga, and golf almost every day on some of the world’s most spectacular and demanding golf courses. We stay at two or more hotels for the week.
On our White and Blue Trips, specially selected combat-injured Veterans are sponsored financially and joined on the trip by an Ambassador. Our Ambassadors are people who want to give something back to our men and women in uniform who have sacrificed so much. Together, they play some of the greatest golf courses in the world, create everlasting memories, develop rock-solid friendships and even more than that, inspire each other to continue to push forward.
International Trips for 2020
postponed to 2021 due to COVID-19
In September 2021 we will again tour the best courses of Ireland’s Inishowen Peninsula and stay the entire week at a first-class golf hotel. Two ambassador spots are currently available, so don’t delay if you want to be part of this magnificent experience!
We will play six incredible rounds, including Ballyliffin-Glashedy (site of the 2018 Irish Open), three courses at Rosapenna (Sandy Hills, Old Tom Morris and the brand-new St Patrick’s), and the magnificent and redesigned Portsalon Golf Club.
On a new trip (and new destination for FFF) the following week, we will play six magnificent courses on the English coast, including the historic courses of the British Open— Royal St. George’s, Princes and Royal Cinque Ports, again staying the entire week in a fabulous luxury hotel. One ambassador spot is currently available on this trip.
Each trip consists of approximately six Ambassadors, 8-10 combat-injured veterans and 2-3 staff. If you would like to become an Ambassador and support these outstanding men and women, please visit our Support our Veterans page. Send us an email on the Contact page, and one of our Fairways for Freedom® dedicated staff will get back to you within 24 hours.
