The KLM Open golf tournament will return to the historic Kennemer Golf and Country Club in Zandvoort in June 2027. After previously hosting the event twenty times, the venue is praised by organizers for its challenging conditions and long-standing history with the championship.

The KLM Open golf tournament is set to return to the Kennemer Golf and Country Club in Zandvoort from June 10 to 13, 2027.
