The 14th green at the Kennemer Golf & Country Club which hosted the 2007 KLM Open.

It was founded in 1912 and was originally known as the Dutch Open and has a variety of title sponsors over the years. It has been part of the European Tour's schedule since the Tour was inaugurated in 1972. In 2006 and 2007 the prize fund was €1.6 million, which is quite low for a European Tour event in Europe, but higher than the prize money at a few of them and also higher than most of the European Tour's co-sanctioned events outside Europe. Several venues have been used for the event, most frequently Hilversumsche Golf Club, which was the venue every year from 2002 to 2005. The 2006 and 2007 events have been held at Kennemer Golf and Country Club. The tournament has been moved around the calendar a good deal over the years. In 2006 it was staged in August.
