Overview
Druids Glen Golf Course was designed by Pat Ruddy and Tom Craddock in 1995 and underwent an extensive renovation that was completed in 2023. The immaculately manicured and colorful Druids Glen Golf Course has played host to four Irish Opens on the DP World Tour has been touted as the Augusta National of Ireland. Located 30 minutes from Dublin in Wicklow County, the course plays through rolling hills, towering trees and around snaking water hazards, while also showing off views of the Atlantic Ocean and Wicklow Mountains. Druids Glen is most famous for its Amen Corner-style stretch in the heart of its back nine. The stretch begins at the par-3 12th, which is modeled after Golden Bell at ANGC. The green is protected by dangling trees and an ancient Druid altar behind the putting surface. No. 13 at Druids Glen is a brutally difficult par 4 and follows almost the exact routing of Azalea at Augusta National. Equally as exciting at Druids Glen is the two-hole finishing stretch, which displays two greens isolated by water at the 203-yard par-3 17th, as well as the 450-yard par-4 finishing hole. Druids Glen provides a memorable target-golf experience with scoring available for those who find the fairways and the receptive greens.
