Druids Glen Resort

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 in 2005. In the years since the resort has continued to improve, with both the Druids Glen and Druids Heath courses maturing into spectacular layouts. However, the Druids Glen Course steals the show, the 4-time Irish Open host has been compared to Augusta by many great golfers.

The superb 5-star hotel at Druids Glen is set in the magnificent Wicklow Hills to the south of Dublin, just 45 minutes from the city centre and less than an hour from the airport. Known as the Garden of Ireland, Co. Wicklow is truly splendid, and as such, the resort boasts a beautiful setting.

The award-winning spa and health club is popular guests, as is Hugo’s Restaurant, the winner of two AA Rosettes.

Golf Courses at Druids Glen Resort

Often uttered in the same breath as Augusta, Druids Glen may not have the character of some of the seaside courses on the east coast of Ireland, but it is one of the best parkland layouts in Dublin and the UK.

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.

Course Information
Par	71
Designed by	Pat Ruddy & Tom Craddock
Opened in	1995
Previously hosted	Irish Open (1996-1999), Seve Trophy (2002)

Tees
Blue	7,046 yards	SSS 74
White	6,560 yards	SSS 73
Green	6,202 yards	SSS 71
Red	5,541 yards	SSS 73

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.

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.

Signature Hole:

Hole 12 (Druids Heath), Par 4, 492 yards, SI 1

At 492 yards, the 12th is an especially tough hole to achieve birdie. While the fairway starts by sloping uphill, it then turns to the right and starts sloping left to right towards a dangerous looking pond. To reach the green in two will be a tough ask for most golfers, not only due to the length but also because of the bunkering which surrounds the green from both sides. A fantastic hole, presenting a challenge for all and requiring risk reward golf to make par.

Tips for visiting Druids Glen Resort

Rory Anderson
Marketing

Handicap: 8
Visited: April

Having played Druids Glen a few times with work and on golf trips with friends, I can safely say it is one of my favourite places to play. It's championship quality is matched by it's prettiness and is simply a great place to play golf.

The course is often referred to as "The Augusta of Ireland" which is testament to just how drop-dead gorgeous this course actually is (and the fact that the par 3 8th is so similar to the famous 16th at Augusta National) so when you combine it with a second round at Druids Heath, and a night in the amazing Druids Glen Hotel, it's hard to find a better place to spend a long weekend within easy reach of Ireland's Capital.

We received a room upgrade ( as Your Golf Travel requested) and it was a beautiful room overloooking the 13th tee. Staff were, as ever, absolutely wonderful and we would return tomorrow, given it’s proximity to such wonderful golf courses.

After playing Druids Glen the day before, the Heath course was a bit of a let down. This was due to a number of factors : 1. The course is undergoing some renovation and 2 holes were out of play, which meant we had to play 2 holes twice to complete the 18 holes. 2. All the bunkers were out of play 3. The greens were not in great condition, they were heavily sanded and very slow (in stark comparison to Druids Glen). The above was a shame as there were some stunning holes on the course, but overall the experience was a bit of a let down compared to the "Glen", it would not put me off staying and playing here again, hopefully I will get to play it next time when the renovations are complete.

Stunning course in great condition. Par 3s were beautiful, Augusta like in so many ways. Staff in the shop or bar were not most welcoming, but didn't spoil the experience. Course signage between holes could of been better, some of the tee boxes used didn't identify the hole being played.

What an amazing course! Probably the most eye catching of the 3 we played. Unbelievable views on so many holes. The course is very well manicured. The course is about to under go some renovations over the next year and with this you could tell that the course was in the closing down stages. However, the greens were good and pretty fast consider the tining & top dressing work and there wasn’t many sticky bits considering it’s late October. Amazing course I’d love to play again. Facilities wise, it’s a bit of a let down just now as the clubhouse, changing areas, and pro shop are pretty dated and run down but from what I understand these are all part of the renovations too. Definitely one for 2023 I reckon

One of the best courses to play. Greens were in excellent condition. Beautiful course both to play and walk! However it is closing for the 2022 year for refurbishment. Should be a super course when I hope to return in 2023. Might just play this one twice and give the Heath a miss!

Greens had just been dressed so they were not at their best. All bunkers were out of play as they were doing major work. They are opening up the course - taking away whins and grassing over some bunkers - and one of the ponds! Still a challenge but I think the aesthetics of the course have been spoiled.

An altogether different experience to that of Druids Glen but still a great golf course. It’s a golf course that you need to find the fairway with plenty of well placed bunkers and patches of gorse bushes located throughout all the holes. The greens are some of the smoothest I’ve played on especially this time of year approaching the end of the golf season. Would recommend this course for anyone wanting to test their accuracy and ball striking.

Glenn – Reviewed 6 Oct 2020

Excellent

I would describe the golf course as fair rather than hard. Its a golf course that you need to think your way around and be strategic off the tee with water in play mixed with narrow fairways, well placed bunkers and small quick greens. The golf course is very scenic with many great holes especially the par 3’s. Stand out holes for me would be 12 and 13. Would highly recommend for first time players or people wanting to go again.
