2026 Crown Australian Open venue and dates confirmed: Full details explored

The Crown 2025 Australian Open is less than a week away, and the schedule for next year's event has been confirmed. The upcoming 2025 event will be played at the Kingston Heath Golf Club from December 3 to December 6.

Kingston Heath Golf Club is returning as the tournament's venue in 2026 after skipping this year. The 2025 edition is being played at the Royal Melbourne Golf Club, and the field also features five-time major champion Rory McIlroy.

Tickets for the 2026 Crown Australian Open will be open for sale from December 9 via Ticketek. Notably, the tickets for this year's event have been booked quickly, thanks to the return of McIlroy. For the uninitiated, the ace golfer will also return to Australia next year as well.

"We’re extremely proud to welcome the Australian Open back to Kingston Heath in 2026," Kingston Heath Golf Club Captain Stephen Montfort said in an official statement. "Our course has hosted some remarkable champions over the years, and that history is something we are very proud of."

"Next year, one of the games most exciting players, Rory McIlroy, will grace our fairways for the first time as a professional golfer, and perhaps have the opportunity to add his name alongside other champions to win a major event at Kingston Heath," he added.

Montfort further added that it was an opportunity to showcase Kingston Heath on the world stage once again and that they were looking forward to adding another memorable chapter to the story.
