Hundred Years in the Making yet only half an hours drive from
the country's capital is a golfing experience, which attracts
visitors from throughout Ireland and throughout the World.The
course at Druids Glen is a true classic, a masterpiece of inspired
planning and golfing architecture. Golfing perfection was achieved
whilst remaining faithful to the graceful maturity of the original
estate and its wildlife.
Druids
Glen, situated on the ancestral estate of Sir Thomas Wentworth,
is already an acknowledged masterpiece and has had the honour
of hosting both the 1996 and 1997 Irish Open Golf Championship
and again in 1998. Following the recent success of the 1998
Irish Open, Druid's Glen has been appointed to host the Irish
Open for an unprecedented 4th time in 1999. Nestling
in the heart of Co Wicklow at Newtownmountkennedy, the objective
behind Tom Craddock and Pat Ruddy's design was to create Ireland's
best parkland golf course.
Many
experts predict that with the passage of time it may well
be regarded as Europe's finest inland course.The course measures
7,000 yards and reflects the magic one would expect in a Druids
Glen. Eamonn Darcy, Ryder Cup player and touring professional
at Druids Glen Golf Club, assesses the course as "a remarkable
golf course unlike any seen in Europe until now. It is both
technically demanding and a pleasure to view. A great experience
for champion and club golfer alike".
It's
no surprise that Druids Glen was chosen to host the Irish
Open from 1996 to 1999. The leading professional players regard
the course as the most challenging on the PGA European Tour.
Voted European Golf Destination of the Year 99.
Neither words nor pictures can do proper justice to Druids
Glen. The only satisfactory way to experience its unique ambience
is to envelop yourself in its surroundings - to see it, play
it, enjoy it...
