The IABS Golf Tournament is being held in Woodbrook Golf Club this year on Friday, the 18th of September. This event is our main fundraiser of the year, and the proceeds go a long way towards helping members of our community who need urgent assistance. We have some new ideas that we hope will make it a most memorable golf day for all.
We are delighted that Irish Cement are generously sponsoring this event, and we are very grateful for their support. Our thanks also to Linesight, who are sponsoring our Graduate Architects team, giving four young graduates or students the chance to play Woodbrook and join us for dinner.
The event is open to architects and their guests — architects are welcome to invite non-architects to play as guests. It is not open to the general public.
Date: Friday 18th September 2026
Venue: Woodbrook Golf Club, Dublin Road, Bray, Co. Wicklow
Tee times: 9.00am – 1.20pm
Dinner & prize-giving: approximately 7.00pm
A burger at the 8th to keep you going, and a raffle with some fantastic prizes
Even if you have an early tee time, we'd love as many players as possible to stay for dinner — last year was great fun.
Team of 4 - golf and dinner €600
Individual golfer - golf and dinner €100
Student / graduate (sponsored by Linesight) €35 per head
Dinner only €36
Tee sponsorship €275
