How to get to the Amgen Irish Open

The Amgen Irish Open will be operate a free Park & Ride system for all public ticket holders.

There will be two car parks available, and once you’ve parked, you will travel on a bus to the course entrance. It’s a quick 10-minute ride, and both car parks are close to the course. Parking is free, and you don’t need to book anything in advance.

There will be directional road signs to help you find the right car park.  Please follow the Variable Message Sign (VMS) displays on the motorway, as well as the yellow AA event signs, and any instructions from the Garda.

The traffic will be actively managed so that you can easily access the parking areas. The Park & Ride car parks will open at 6:00 am every day. The first shuttle bus to the course will leave at 6:15 am, and the entrance to the Amgen Irish Open course will open at 6:45 am.

Buses will be coming back from the course throughout the day. The last bus will leave the course at 8:00 pm, and the Park & Ride car parks will close at 8:30 pm.

There are toilets at each public car park.

Lastly, please don’t leave your car in the public car parks overnight. Thanks for your cooperation!
