Welcome to Fairways for Warriors – Raleigh, North Carolina Chapter
Healing Unseen Wounds
Empowering combat veterans through golf therapy, trauma-informed care, and Christ-centered community—right here in Raleigh, NC.
Our Mission
We’re Here for the Wounds You Can’t See.
Fairways for Warriors creates a community where
combat veterans and their families know that help is available for all their life challenges - being available to talk, meeting for lunch or coffee, playing golf when they are having a bad day, helping each other with childcare, yard work, or moving. This
reflects the same community veterans had in the military.
Why Golf Works...
Golf Isn’t Just a Game—It’s a Gateway. Golf brings people together. It challenges the body, calms the mind, and opens the door to trust, support, and recovery. For veterans with PTSD, it’s more than recreation—it’s rehabilitation.
Built-In Community
Golf provides a natural space for conversations that don’t feel like therapy, but often heal like it. That kind of community is hard to find. Here, it’s built-in.
Adaptable Play
Golf welcomes everyone. Whether you're recovering from physical injuries or brand new to the game, it's a sport that meets you where you are.
Stress Relief
Golf takes place in wide open, calm environments. Being outdoors, moving the body, and focusing on the game helps quiet the mind and restore a sense of calm.
Pathway to Deeper Healing
Golf is the beginning, not the end. It opens the door to trust—trust in the group, in the process, and in oneself.
I just wanted to express my heartfelt appreciation for your and the organization's work. I can't tell you how timely this was. Without getting too in-depth, I will just say that it has been a tough couple of weeks dealing with depression and my teenage son dealing with the idea of hurting himself. Although the therapy sessions are great and doing the best they can, he and I desperately needed something we could do that was just a fun bond builder.
We got to participate in today's clinic, and although cut short due to the storm, we still got to play 9 holes. Neither one of us played golf before, yet my son told me he had not remembered a recent time he had that much fun. This was just the timely boost that we needed. This organization may have just changed our lives for the better and I am so grateful. The swag bags were awesome as well.
I don't know how many veterans do or do not stop to thank you for your efforts, but from the bottom of my heart, I want to give a huge thanks to you and the organization.
