The Alberta All Abilities Championship will celebrate its fourth year in 2026, as the event returns north following its 2025 stop in Calgary. The championship will once again be hosted at the familiar Broadmoor Public Golf Course in Sherwood Park.
As one of Alberta Golf’s newest competitions, the All Abilities Championship has been met with strong support and steady growth. In 2025, the field expanded to 30 participants, complemented by a clinic delivered in partnership with adaptive golf organizations to further foster community engagement. The championship is open to participants of all genders, ages, and handicap indexes, and features both gross and net competitions. Reflecting the event’s continued growth, separate male and female divisions will be introduced in 2026. Players must be registered with, and hold a Players Pass from, the European Disabled Golfers Association (EDGA). The two-day championship is EDGA-ranked, offering competitors the opportunity to earn valuable points. Notably, Alberta remains one of only five provincial associations in Canada to offer an event of this kind.
Broadmoor Golf Course, a mature 18-hole facility operated by Strathcona County in Sherwood Park, has become a strong supporter of adaptive golf in recent years. In addition to hosting the 2024 Alberta All Abilities Championship, the course welcomed the 2023 ASSRA AMP Open. Broadmoor has also developed a reputation for its junior programming, earning recognition as a 2026 finalist for First Tee Location of the Year.
Competitive storylines heading into 2026 are compelling. Bob MacDermott, winner of both adaptive events previously held at Broadmoor, returns as a leading contender. Kiefer Jones, a two-time Alberta All Abilities Champion, is also expected to be near the top of the leaderboard. On the women’s side, Emma Bittorf brings valuable championship experience, having captured the net title in both 2023 and 2025. Emerging players Rachel Adamis and Nha Truong, who competed in last year’s event, will look to build on their early involvement.

In 2026, Alberta Golf remains committed to expanding the adaptive golf community while continuing to enhance the championship experience. Building on the momentum of recent growth, the organization is focused on ongoing development through research and collaboration with leading events and associations in the adaptive sport landscape.
Registration opens on April 1 at 9am for the All Abilities and all of Alberta Golf’s championships.
