Irish Open History
The Irish Open, currently known as the Horizon Irish Open, is the epitome of golf tournaments in Ireland. The competition brings together teams and players from across the world to compete for a grand prize of three million euro. The first Irish Open took place in 1927 in Portmarnock Golf Club and has been played annually (aside from years of war) ever since. 2023 will be just the second time The K Club has hosted the Irish Open, having done so for the first time in 2016, when four-time Major winner Rory McIlroy claimed a famous victory which will live forever in the memory of Irish sports fans. To be eligible for entry into the DDF Irish Open all competitors must be a member of the PGA of Great Britain and Ireland and be employed at a golf establishment in Ireland.
Tickets for Irish Open 2023
The Irish Open is more than just a golf competition. In recent years, it has become a festival! With incredible golf and live music attracting sell-out crowds in 2021 and 2022, 2023 promises to be bigger and better than ever. Tickets are now available for the Horizon Irish Open from 7-10th September, a change in date from what was previously reported. Ticket+ is a brand-new offering in 2023, giving guests the chance to enjoy an elevated experience including an electronic car park pass, wristbands for fast-track entry and food & drink vouchers. You’ll also enjoy an Elevated Viewing Platform and Bar overlooking the 16th Green. General entry tickets are also available but are limited due to a 40% increase in demand from last year.
Accommodation for Irish Open 2023
Kildare is jam-packed for the Irish Open. Hotel rates are inflated due to high demand and many hotels are entirely booked out by organisers and players. Look slightly further afield for accommodation for this year’s Irish Open. Tulfarris Hotel and Golf Resort not only offers luxury accommodation less than 40 minutes from the K Club, but you’ll also enjoy views and access to our championship golf course. In-house, we have two excellent dining options, The Elk Bar and Fia Rua, both serving freshly prepared food from a thoughtful menu. Our full Irish breakfast is ideal to start a long day of playing or spectating and the bar is an ideal place for a nightcap to dissect the competition of the day. We offer our best available rates exclusively when you book directly on our website or with one of our team.
Tulfarris Golf Club
If you fancy yourself as a pro or are inspired to improve your game having watched the Irish Open, Tulfarris Golf Club is a fantastic destination for 18 holes. We have been home to many Irish and international competitions in past years including PGA 2018, 2019 & 2021; you really will be walking in the footsteps of golfing heroes. The course is set across three peninsulas on the shores of one of Ireland’s treasures, Blessington Lanes. It is a challenging but rewarding test of skills and stamina with some of the most rewarding views in Ireland. The clubhouse recently underwent modernisation and is a great place to spend time before or after a round.
