Irish amateur open to be held in the West
The tournament will take place between April 2nd and 4th.
The 2027 Flogas Irish Men's Amateur Open Championship will be held at Enniscrone Golf Course.
The tournament will take place between April 2nd and 4th and is included on the 2027 European Amateur Order of Merit (EAOM) schedule.
The European Amateur Order of Merit is recognised as one of the leading ranking systems in the amateur game, bringing together Europe's premier amateur championships and providing players with valuable ranking opportunities.
Golf Ireland’s High Performance Director and National Coach Neil Manchip said:
“We're delighted to see the Flogas Irish Men's Amateur Open included on the European Amateur Order of Merit. It's a huge acknowledgement of the work that has gone into building the championship and of the reputation it now holds.
“Competing for European ranking points on home soil, against high-quality international fields, is really valuable and will raise standards further. Having the championship take place just after the West of Ireland will build momentum at the start to the season.”
Keith O’Neill, General Manager of Enniscrone Golf Club, said:“Enniscrone Golf Club is extremely proud to host the prestigious Flogas Irish Men’s Amateur Open in April 2027.
"This is a tremendous honour for our Club and the wider local community, providing an opportunity to welcome some of the finest amateur golfers from Ireland and internationally to the Dunes Championship Links.”
Golf Ireland's Championships & Rules Director Mark Wehrly added:“The inclusion of the Flogas Irish Men's Amateur Open on the European Amateur Order of Merit is a significant step forward for the championship.
"We look forward to staging the event at a host of spectacular venues on this date over the coming years, and are delighted to bring it to Enniscrone, one of Ireland's premier links courses, in 2027.
"We would also like to thank County Sligo for its positive engagement as we worked together to co-ordinate the scheduling of the championship alongside the West of Ireland Championship so that we can not only preserve the status and importance of both events, but mutually enhance them for a great kick-off to the amateur season here.”
