Druids Glen Golf Resort

Druids Glen Golf Resort in County Wicklow, Ireland is home to two championship golf courses created by legendary Irish course designers Pat Ruddy and Tom Craddock. The golf courses grace 400 rolling acres nestled between the Sugarloaf Mountains and the Irish Sea. The historic clubhouse, Woodstock House, provides the ultimate setting for social events and relaxation.

Druids Glen, designed by Ruddy and Craddock is a golfers paradise! The 18-hole, 7,046 yard championship parkland golf course features undulating fairways, deep bunkers and natural water hazards strategically placed to tamper one's game. Opened in 1995, Druids Glen has been referred to as the "Augusta of Europe" because of the extraordinary landscaping that includes flowerbeds bursting with color, native gorse bushes and a continual array of color courtesy of the seasonal foliage.

The course name, Druids Glen, was inspired by the Druids altar stone that stands alongside the 12th fairway. But today, this land that was once home to ancient Celtic priests, according to Irish lore, is a sanctuary for wildlife such as the rare Kingfisher bird which nests peacefully on the banks of the Newton River which flows through the 13th hole.
Not content in establishing one acclaimed golf course, Druids Heath is described as "nature's gift to golf." A Ruddy design, this 18-hole, 7,434 yard championship golf course, combines the best of links, heath land and parkland golf. Druids Heath races across the open countryside teasing golfers with sweeping glimpses of the Irish Sea, bucolic meadows and ethereal landscapes.

Druids Glen is proud to have hosted the Irish Open for four years (1996-1999) and the 2002 Seve Trophy. Druids Heath hosted the Ryder Cup in 2004, the 2004 TaylorMade Pro-Am 25th Anniversary Celebration and the prestigious 2006 Irish PGA Championship.
