Four 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...
