DRUIDS GLEN GOLF RESORT |
| County Wicklow |
|
The beautiful Druids Glen Golf Resort is situated just twenty miles south of Dublin on the East Coast of Ireland, in County Wicklow, "the Garden of Ireland.
Druids Glen was originally the Woodstock Estate, which dates back to 1600, when it formed part of Sir Thomas Wentworth's landholding in Wicklow and South East Ireland. Woodstock House, the clubhouse at Druids Glen, was built in 1770. Today, it is one of the world's finest clubhouses, with each room dedicated to famous people throughout Irish History.
Known as "the Augusta of Europe", the parkland Druids Glen golf course, designed by Pat Ruddy and Tom Craddock, opened in 1995 and was the Host of the Irish Open in 1996, 1997, 1998 and 1999. In 2000 Druids Glen was voted the European Golf Course of the year by IAGTO (International Association of Golf Tour Operators). In 2002, it was the venue for the Seve Trophy, a biennial event between the leading Tour Players of Britain & Ireland and Continental Europe.
The creation of the sensational Druids Heath championship course, which opened for play in September 2003, has achieved the objective of Druids Glen becoming one of the World's Finest Golf Resorts. Described as "Nature's Gift to Golf", Druids Heath is situated on a unique piece of land, which provides golfers with spectacular views of Mountains, Sea and Irish Countryside. The design is a complete contrast to the Druids Glen course.
Druids Glen Golf Resort was voted European Golf Resort of the Year in 2005 by IAGTO.
