Miami Beach Golf Club

One of the nation's fastest-growing multicultural golf and lifestyle experiences returns to South Florida this Labor Day Weekend, as Urban Golf Weekend (UGW) brings five days of golf, business, networking, culture, and philanthropy to Miami from September 3–7, 2026.
Hosted at Eden Roc Miami Beach and Miami Beach Golf Club, the annual event draws professionals, entrepreneurs, executives, creatives, and golf enthusiasts from across the United States, generating economic impact and creating opportunities through the game of golf.
More than a sporting event, Urban Golf Weekend has become a national platform where golf, business, leadership, entrepreneurship, and community engagement intersect. Attendees can choose from the Non-Golfer Weekend Pass, the Golfer Weekend Pass, or the VIP Upgrade Pass, each offering experiences designed for golfers and non-golfers alike.
Driving Opportunity Beyond the Fairway
At the heart of the event is the Urban Golf Foundation, Inc., the nonprofit philanthropic arm of Urban Golf Weekend. The 501(c)(3) organization uses golf to expand access to mentorship, education, scholarships, workforce development, and community engagement.
Urban Golf Weekend is the Foundation's signature fundraiser, supporting HBCU golf scholarships, youth golf initiatives, mentorship programs, and partnerships that introduce more young people and families to the game. Over the past four years, Urban Golf Weekend and the Urban Golf Foundation have invested more than $50,000 in scholarships and youth programs.
From Charity Tournament to National Platform
Urban Golf Weekend was founded by Clifton Addison, who,, after being introduced to the sport through the nonprofit Fore Life. envisioned golf as a gateway to opportunity. Seeking to expand access to golf while fostering business relationships and leadership development, Addison partnered with Woody Remy, Founder and President of Brainstorm Miami, to build what has become one of the country's premier multicultural golf and lifestyle experiences.
Today, Urban Golf Weekend continues to celebrate sports, business, culture, and community while supporting the Urban Golf Foundation's year-round mission.
2026 Highlights
The five-day experience includes:
<ul>
<li>UGW Business &amp; Lifestyle Expo (September 3–4)</li>
<li>Annual Charity Golf Tournament benefiting Urban Golf Foundation programs</li>
<li>19th Hole After PAR-Tee networking event</li>
<li>Power Brunch featuring business, sports, and community leaders</li>
<li>UGW Yacht Day</li>
</ul>
"Urban Golf Weekend was built on the belief that access changes lives," said Clifton Addison, Founder of Urban Golf Weekend and of Urban Golf Foundation, Inc. "Whether it's access to mentorship, business relationships, educational opportunities, or to golf itself, our mission is to create pathways for people to thrive.”
"For many attendees, Urban Golf Weekend has become an annual gathering of entrepreneurs, innovators, and changemakers from across the country," said Woody Remy, Founder and President of Brainstorm Miami. "The weekend fosters meaningful connections and showcases the best of golf, business, culture, and community."
As golf participation continues to grow nationwide, Urban Golf Weekend is helping to broaden participation in the sport and position Miami as a destination for business, tourism, philanthropy, and cultural exchange.

Back-to-School Success Must Include Students With Disabilities
By Lixon Nelson 
Co-Founder and Executive Director, Alliance Community &amp; Employment Services (ACES)
As families across Miami-Dade County prepare for another school year, parents are buying supplies, arranging transportation and preparing children for new classrooms and routines.
For families of children and young adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities, back-to-school preparation often involves far more.
Parents may be navigating Individualized Education Programs (IEPs), 504 Plans, accommodations, therapies, and meetings with educators. As their children get older, families may also face an important question: What happens after high school?
Will there be opportunities for higher education, employment, and independence? Will young people know how to advocate for themselves? Will employers recognize their abilities rather than focusing on their disabilities?
These are questions families should not have to answer by themselves.
At Alliance Community &amp; Employment Services (ACES), we believe that preparing young people with disabilities for success means providing individuals and families with access to information, resources and opportunities that extend beyond the classroom.
Parents need to understand their rights and feel confident in advocating for their children. Young people need opportunities to develop self-advocacy, leadership, and employment skills that prepare them for adulthood.
Employers also play a role. Individuals with disabilities bring talent, creativity, resilience, and valuable perspectives to the workplace. Building a more inclusive South Florida requires schools, employers, nonprofits, government agencies, and families to work together to create pathways from education to employment and independence.
That is why ACES is hosting the Leaders with a Destiny Summit on Saturday, August 8, from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. at Miami Dade College North Campus, located at 11380 NW 27th Avenue in Miami. Event Registration:<a href="https://www.eventbrite.com/e/leaders-with-a-destiny-summit-tickets-1992927622166?utm_source=chatgpt.com" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Eventbrite Registration</a>.
The free community event will bring together youth, families, educators, disability advocates, and community organizations for discussions on education, self-advocacy, resilience, leadership, employment readiness, and independence.
Attendees can participate in educational breakout sessions, hear from national speakers and disability advocates, and connect with organizations at a community resource fair. A complimentary lunch and a backpack and school-supply giveaway will also be available.
Backpacks and supplies help students start the school year prepared. But what goes inside a backpack can only take a young person so far.
We must also equip our youth with confidence, knowledge, opportunity, and a belief in what is possible.
As we begin another school year, our community should ask not only what students need for their first day of class but also what they need to build successful futures.
A disability should never determine a person’s destiny. Every individual deserves a path to discover their potential, pursue their goals, and live with dignity, purpose, and greater independence.
Lixon Nelson is Co-Founder and Executive Director of Alliance Community &amp; Employment Services (ACES), which supports individuals with disabilities and underserved communities through employment, education, mental health services, advocacy, and personalized guidance.
