DRUIDS HEATH GOLF COURSE
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
The sensational Druids Heath
championship golf course, designed by Pat Ruddy, opened
in 2003 and was very soon described as ‘Nature’s gift to
golf’ by golfing media. This heathland course with
strong links influences weaves its way around quarries,
trees, gorse, lakes and pot bunkers, all with a backdrop
of mountains, sea and rolling Irish countryside.
Venue for the 2006 Irish PGA
Championship, Druids Heath has played host to many
leading Tour Players including double US Open Champion
Retief Goosen, Sergio Garcia, Darren Clarke and Ian
Poulter. With the front nine overlooking the Irish Sea
and the back nine nestled in the Wicklow Mountains, it
has one of the world’s longest Par 3s, and the constant
sea breeze calls for shot-making skills and imagination
from any golfer.
The unique design provides a thrilling and exciting
challenge in keeping with the history and traditions of
the game. In the words of Course Architect Pat Ruddy:
"Dull would he be of soul who would allow a few stray
golf shots spoil a day in such a blessed spot!"
