Voted as the European Golf Resort of the Year 2005 at the International Golf Travel Market, Druids Glen offers two truly outstanding championship golf courses. Home of the Irish Open from 1996-99, the Seve Trophy 2002 and voted European Golf Course of the Year in 2000, Druids Glen's credentials speak for themselves. At over 7,000 yards, the parkland course has been nicknamed as the Augusta of Europe and has been one of the key players in pushing the East coast of Ireland right up on the world map of golfing locations.
Notable features of the course, such as the fabulous Celtic cross on the 12th, the 18th Century Clubhouse and the breathtaking views of the Wicklow mountains give it a unique character that will see it emerge to the forefront of Irish golf in the years to come. Druids Heath is a spectacular addition to the already impressive Druids Glen is a links style heathland course with the front nine holes overlooking the Irish Sea and the back nine holes nestling further inland, among the Wicklow Mountains.
Druids Heath is maintained to the highest tour standards and is carved from the natural landscape of Ireland's Garden County. Rolling fairways, natural rock quarries, lakes, trees, streams, gorse, pot-bunkers and a testing sea breeze as well as breathtaking scenery will feature throughout your round. Druids Heath is a truly stunning golf challenge at a stunning resort.
