The Alberta All Abilities Championship may not boast the largest field on Alberta Golf’s calendar, but it may very well be its most meaningful. Now entering its fourth year, the championship returns to Edmonton for 2026—more specifically, to a familiar venue for many of its competitors: The Broadmoor Golf Course in Sherwood Park.
With play set to begin tomorrow afternoon, here’s everything you need to know ahead of this year’s championship.
The Course
The Broadmoor Golf Course, commonly known as The Broadmoor, will host the fourth annual Alberta All Abilities Championship. The course has already proven to be a strong home for inclusive competition, having previously hosted the 2024 Alberta All Abilities Championship, the 2021 Alberta Women’s Amateur Championship and the 2023 ASSRA AMP Open.
That history, combined with The Broadmoor’s ongoing commitment to creating an inclusive environment and continually improving the experience for its players, made a return visit an easy decision for Alberta Golf.
The Broadmoor’s dedication to accessibility and inclusion extends well beyond hosting tournaments. To learn more about the course’s decision to welcome the championship back and its plans for continued improvement, read more at the link below.

The Event
The Alberta All Abilities Championship has been part of the Alberta golf calendar since 2023, when the inaugural championship was held at McCall Lake Golf Course in Calgary.
The championship provides a safe, welcoming and inclusive environment for golfers with disabilities to compete at a high level while earning rankings toward the World Ranking for Golfers with Disability (WR4GD). The event is open to male and female golfers of any handicap, with the only requirement being that players hold an EDGA Pass.
Alberta was the third province and fourth Canadian golf association to establish an All Abilities Championship, helping further expand competitive opportunities for golfers with disabilities across the country.
While the competition is serious, the atmosphere surrounding the championship is what makes it truly special. A strong sense of camaraderie exists among the players, and that spirit can be felt throughout the entire week. It is a championship where competition and community go hand in hand.
Alberta Golf remains committed to growing the event through collaboration with other provincial golf and sporting associations. New for 2026, winners will be recognized in each sport classification division, while the championship will also have gendered men’s and women’s net and gross divisions.
The Players
Make no mistake: this is a talented field.
Defending men’s gross champion Kiefer Jones, the No. 1-ranked blind golfer in the world, will not be competing this year, but there is still no shortage of accomplished players ready to make their mark.
Here are some of the names to watch this week:
- Grant Lee — BC All Abilities Gross Champion
- Bob MacDermott — 2024 Alberta All Abilities Gross Champion
- Kelly Masson — Back-to-back ASSRA AMP Open Champion
- Emma Bittorf — Defending Alberta All Abilities Net Champion
- Spencer Easthope — No. 2 in the WR4GD Net Rankings
- Kyle Miller — No. 24 in the WR4GD Gross Neurologic Rankings
With a talented field, a familiar and welcoming venue, and a championship built around both competition and inclusion, the 2026 Alberta All Abilities Championship promises to be another memorable week for Alberta golf.
The field may be smaller than some of Alberta Golf’s other championships, but the impact of this event is anything but.
