Can visitors play the K Club Palmer North?

Yes. The Palmer North welcomes resort and visiting golfers, with stay and play through the on site five star hotel the most reliable route to a prime tee time. Booking ahead is recommended, and access can tighten around resort event weeks.

What are the green fees at the K Club Palmer North for 2026?

Indicative 2026 green fees start from around 175 euros and rise in peak season, with buggy and package options available. Treat these as indicative and always confirm directly with the resort before booking.

Is the Irish Open at the K Club in 2026?

No. The Amgen Irish Open is staged at the K Club in 2025 and 2027 under the resort's DP World Tour deal, so 2026 is an intervening year. In 2026 the resort hosts the KPMG Women's Irish Open on its South Course and Europe's largest PGA Pro-Am in August.

The news: a busy resort year, with the Irish Open back in 2027

The K Club's headline event years are 2025 and 2027, when the Amgen Irish Open is staged at Straffan under the resort's long term DP World Tour deal. That leaves 2026 as an intervening year on the championship cycle, but the resort calendar stays full: the K Club is set to host the KPMG Women's Irish Open on its South Course in 2026, and Europe's largest PGA Pro-Am returns to Straffan in August.

For travellers the practical upshot is good news. With the marquee men's Open away in 2026, the Palmer North is more accessible to visiting golfers than in a hosting year, while still carrying the full weight of its Ryder Cup history.
