Irish Open 2026

Event Information

This July, U.S. Kids Golf is excited for the 6th annual Irish Open that will take place at one of Ireland’s premier parkland golf courses, Mount Wolseley. Ideally located within one hour of Dublin, Kildare, Kilkenny & Waterford and within easy reach of the Midlands, West, South, and Eastern regions, this 18-hole Championship Course has matured beautifully with age and offers stunning views of the Carlow mountains and countryside. Designed by the late, great Christy O’ Connor Jnr, the Golf Course at Mount Wolseley is an idyllic and lush parkland course that tests every facet of the players’ games while also providing enjoyment.

The Irish Open offers young golfers the opportunity to compete in a multi-day championship event and qualify for U.S. Kids Golf Priority Status. By earning different levels of Priority Status, players can qualify for other U.S. Kids Golf Major Championships, including Regional, International, and World or World Teen Championships. The Irish Open is open to players 5 to 18 years of age.
