Reasons to Visit Druids Glen Resort

Dubbed the 'Augusta of Ireland' due to the beauty of it's flora and fauna
Multiple host of the Irish Open
A 5-star hotel set in the Wicklow Hills just 45 minutes from Dublin city centre

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.

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

Huw Price
UK & Ireland Product Manager

Handicap: 5
Visited: April

Ireland is famous for its links golf and rightly so, but when it comes to a relaxing day on a beautiful parkland layout, it's tough to beat a round at Druids Glen. The course has hosted numerous European Tour events so off the back tees it can be testing.

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.

The hotel is of the highest quality and the staff are excellent very pleasant and easy to get along with. The food and drink for breakfast and dinner was excellent. Perfect way to begin and end a round of golf with great food. The room itself again was perfect plenty of space, comfortable beds and a well sized bathroom.

Just love this place. Has recently been extended providing very comfortable bar and restaurant facilities. Food is very pricey for what it is (bar food not terribly adventurous but add in the fact that you can eat in the clubhouse ( franchised out but absolutely wonderful) there is a fantastic choice of places to eat. 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.

One of the best parkland courses in Ireland but on the day we played it was looking a little tired in places.

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

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.

It’s now a few years since I last played Druids Glen, and I had forgotten parts of the course. My wife and two friends made up the fourball, and none of them had played it before. They had listened to me rave about this course, and none of them were disappointed. The course was in great condition and It has to rank as one of the best and most beautiful courses in Ireland.

A beautiful course especially in early Autumn. However our tee time was in the middle of a 3-ball scramble competition which was slow and left the greens covered in unrepaired pitch marks. Even the friendly starter was amazed to see that we had been allocated this tee time.
