DRUIDS GLEN GOLF CLUB
The beautiful Druids Glen Golf Resort
is situated just twenty miles south of Dublin on the
East Coast of Ireland, in County Wicklow, “the Garden of
Ireland”.
The two championship golf courses at Druids Glen Resort
allow golfing guests to enjoy varied play over equally
exhilarating landscapes.
Both courses are renowned as being amongst the finest,
most challenging and most enjoyable in Europe, to the
extent that Druids Glen Resort was voted European Golf
Resort of the Year by the International Association of
Golf Tour Operators (IAGTO) in 2005.
A previous European Golf Course of the Year winner and
known as ‘The Augusta of Europe,’ the course at Druids
Glen was designed by Pat Ruddy & Tom Craddock, and
opened in 1995. An undulating and well-wooded parkland
course, with liberally distributed water hazards,
bunkers and tree-lined holes demanding driving accuracy,
the length of the course and many approach shots over
water make this a challenging test for golfers. Just a
year after opening, Druids Glen hosted the Irish Open
for four years in a row, and has also hosted the
prestigious Seve Trophy, a bi-annual event between the
leading Tour Players of Britain & Ireland and
continental Europe. Druids Glen is a modern classic,
with manicured tree-lined fairways, historical
landmarks, spectacular water features and vibrant floral
displays, and where the 17th hole’s island green
provides one of the most exhilarating tests in world
golf.
