Druid's Glen played host to the Irish Open from 1996 to 1999, and also welcomed the Seve Trophy in 2002. It is without doubt one of the most beautiful golf courses in the world, as a result of the magnificent flora and fauna that line the manicured fairways.
Often uttered in the same breath as Augusta, Druids Glen may not have the character of some of the seaside courses around Dublin, but it is one of the best parkland layouts in the UK and Ireland.
Druids Glen Course
From the forest that once was home to the Druids, Pat Ruddy and Tom Craddock have created a masterpiece, featuring numerous spectacular holes. The most famous may be the 12th, a delightful downhill par-3 where golfers play over the now famous bank of flowers in the shape of a Celtic Cross, but this is but one hole in a course of classics.
Druids Heath Course
The Druids Heath course may be relatively young, but it has already garnered much attention from the golfing fraternity. The mixture of heathland, parkland and links makes this one of the most exciting and innovative golf courses to be built in the last few years, and has only cemented Druids Glen's reputation as one of the premier golf break destinations.
The superb 5-star Marriott hotel at Druid's Glen is set in the magnificent Wicklow hills to the south of Dublin. Known as the Garden of Ireland, Co. Wicklow is truly splendid, and as such, the resort boasts a beautiful setting.
Opened in 2002 to much acclaim, the reputation of Druid's Glen has only strengthened since its inception, and was named European Golf Resort of the Year, at the International Golf Travel Market in 2005.
The 145 spacious guest rooms are designed for comfort and function, and offer all the requisite features from a 5* venue, including high-speed internet access.
In addition to the two supreme championship golf courses, the resort has excellent conference capabilities and leisure facilities.
The luxury Elemis Spa offers health and beauty therapy in its 7 treatment rooms.
Within half an hour's drive is Dublin, one Europe's liveliest capital cities, where many people flock to experience the sights, the culture, or just the craic. As the locals maintain, the Guinness does taste better in Dublin, and the atmosphere in the city centre at night time is unrivalled. With the international airport just 20 minutes from town, it is extremely easy to access both the city, and the array of magnificent golf courses that are littered around the surrounding coastline Co. Wicklow to the south.
There are over 1,000 pubs in Dublin, and a visit to at least a few of them to sample the local brew is essential to any Dublin Tour.
A formal dining menu is available at Flynn, while traditional classics are served up at Druids Brasserie.
