Accessibility Services
The KitchenAid Senior PGA Championship is a fully accessible event, and we are dedicated to continually improving our efforts to ensure that you have access to all Championship amenities. We welcome and encourage all feedback and suggestions from our guests. The following explains the services provided this year. For any accessibility-related questions please email us at AccessibilityServices@pgahq.com. We will do our best to help you enjoy your Championship experience.
Wheelchair Accessibility
There are accessible pathways that connect the entrances with the area around the Clubhouse including the practice range. The course is encircled by cart paths, as well as interior paths, but many dead-end into grass areas. For this reason, we encourage disabled guests to utilize our Accessibility Shuttles. Additionally, we encourage all guests to utilize personal forms of transportation, including wheelchairs and scooters. If you need to recharge your motorized wheelchair, you may do so at the Information Services Tent. Patrons should bring all cords and accessories needed to charge their devices. Chargers must use a 110-volt, 20 amp circuit.
We will not be providing wheelchair or scooter rentals.
Parking
There will be NO onsite parking at the 2023 KitchenAid Senior PGA Championship. ADA Parking for guests with mobility devices will be located at Lone Star High School 2606 Panther Creek Pkwy, Frisco, TX 75033. You will need a verified Disabled Person Parking placard, permit, or license plate to enter this parking lot. The person to whom the placard or plate is issued must be present in the vehicle, as a driver or passenger. Wheelchair accessible shuttles will transport guests from ADA Parking to the Championship.
