ABOUT THE IPGAA
IPGAA is the only Park Golf Organization in North America that is officially recognized and sanctioned by the Japan Park Golf Association (NPGA) and International Park Golf Federation (IPGF). International Park Golf Association of America (IPGAA), a national not-for-profit corporation, aims to unify all aspects of Park Golf in the United States of America and assist in park golf development in Canada. Our goal is to popularize and promote Park Golf, introduce and educate participants on the rules, standards and equipment, and to assist and guide Park Golf course development by individuals, companies, and municipalities.
Governed by a Board of Directors, the IPGAA is an established nonprofit 501(c)(3) and recognized by the IRS as being a tax-exempt by virtue of our charitable programs. (EIN #47-1659558).
The IPGAA chooses to adhere to the standards and specifications established by the Japan Park Golf Association (NPGA) and its predecessor, the International Park Golf Association (IPGA). As such, we have an exclusive Consent Agreement with the NPGA on specific Park Golf related issues.
The Japan Park Golf Association is a national organization that unifies the entirety of Park Golf. Since the development of Park Golf in 1983, there have been strict standards set to ensure safety and fair play for all.
These strict standards help protect Park Golf course owners and operators from liability exposure because of untested equipment. Everything from course design and layout to all aspects of equipment design, testing and certification, are governed and approved through the NPGA for the purpose of safety, fairness, and uniformity that enables reliability and consistency of each Park Golf experience by every player. The NPGA (or IPGA) logo appears on all authorized equipment for the game of Park Golf.
We are the North American Representative to International Park Golf Federation (IPGF); Park Golf’s global entity consisting of 14 other countries, each represented by one governing member.
