Druids Glen

Par: 71 Length: 7058 yards Course designer: Craddock & Ruddy Venue: Irish Open, Seve Trophy

Druids Glen is often referred to as "The Augusta of Europe", and is regarded as one of the finest inland courses in Europe, hosting the Irish Open four times as well as the Seve Trophy in 2001. The flora and fauna of the Glen provide a colourful backdrop to a magnificent golf course, with the fairways so well maintained to remind the golfer of Amen Corner and the US Masters. The forests and streams produce a haven for wildlife in what was once a home to the old Druids.

Druids Heath

Sergio Garcia, Darren Clarke, Ian Poulter, Paul McGinley and Retief Goosen have all played here with Butch Harmon and his brothers also using the excellent practice facilities for some coaching during a visit. Described as Nature's Gift to Golf, Druids Heath is maintained to Tour Standards and features rolling fairways, natural rock quarries, lakes, trees, streams, gorse, gently undulating greens, traditional pot-bunkers, and a testing sea breeze to keep the golfer honest!
