| Course Description: |
Although Druid’s Glen only opened
in 1995, it was the home of the Irish Open, Ireland’s premier golfing event
and one of the richest on the European PGA Tour from 1996 to 1999. It has been
host to such golfing greats as Ernie Els, Seve Ballesteros, Bernhard Langer,
Colin Montgomerie, Jose Maria Olazabal, John Daly and was the scene of Sergio
Garcia’s first professional tour victory in 1999.
The mystique of the natural
setting, coupled with the rich history of the land and picturesque 18 hole course
leaves no wonder why Druid's Glen was voted European Golf Course of the year
in 2000. Over 7,000 yd's of immaculate
golf course awaits the visitor golfer. Steeped in Irish History dating back
over 400 years, this course offers some of the most challenging holes of the
European Tour, including an island green on 17th hole and a unique Celtic cross
on the 12th hole.
Druid’s Glen was the venue of the Seve Ballesteros Trophy in
April 2002. A must for any golfer, Druid's opened its second 18 holes in 2003 known as Druid's
Heath. I haven't had the pleasure of playing it but by all accounts it is a
superb
challenge of golf.
Voted the No. 20-ranked golf course in Ireland, by
“Golf Digest Ireland” in 2008. Druid's Glen was voted No. 4 Parkland/Inland Course in Ireland by
"Backspin" Irelands leading Golf magazine in 2008, the panel comprised of a
selection of 52 Professional and amateur golfers throughout Ireland.Druid's Heath was voted Joint No. 39 Parkland/Inland Course in
Ireland by "Backspin".
