Instructional Therapy Golf Clinics
Range Fore Hope offers FREE Golf Programs to Active Duty Service Members, Veterans, their families, and Adaptive Golfers at Cobblestone Park Golf Club (Blythewood, SC), the James Clyburn Golf Center (Columbia, SC) as well as the Fort Jackson Golf Club (Columbia, SC) .
Our programs allow us to accomplish our mission of providing access to outdoor activities as a positive outlet for our Active-Duty Service Members, Veterans (Combat and Disabled), and their Dependents as they overcome life’s difficulties specifically attributed to the effects of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). All Active, Retired Military, and family members are invited to participate in these programs.
In 2022, we are excited to say we are a member of the US Adaptive Golf Alliance (USAGA). We have trained and certified instructors and volunteers to now offer Adaptive Golf instruction at our Cobblestone Park location.
Fort Jackson Golf Club
We are excited to announce our partnership with the Fort Jackson Golf Club in 2024. We will be providing golf programs accessible by the entire military community on base. We look forward to bringing resources to a new population and growing the game of golf within the military community. Range Fore Hope Foundation’s golf instructors, whom are certified PGA professionals, will be on hand each week to host this golf program.

Range Fore Hope partnered with Richland County Parks and Recreation, to offer free golf lessons at LinRick Golf Course for Active Duty Service Members, Veterans, and military family members. Having access to this driving range, practice facility, and golf course has offered an additional location that is accessible to a lot of potential local attendees for the program.
Kevin Lyle, your instructor, is the lead instructor for this location and he is a phenomenal instructor who has years of experience introducing all skill levels to the game of golf. We are truly blessed and fortunate to have him on staff.
