Druids Glenn Golf Resort, Wicklow

Frequently Asked Questions

When is the ideal time to visit Druids Glen for the best playing conditions?

We've found late spring through early autumn - May to September - offers the most reliable weather for Druids Glen. You'll get longer daylight hours and the course will be in peak condition, though a classic Irish shower is always a possibility. Book well in advance for summer weekends, as it gets busy.

What truly sets Druids Glen apart from other championship courses in Ireland?

Druids Glen, often called 'The Augusta of Europe,' truly shines with its immaculate conditioning and stunning, mature parkland setting. You'll encounter dramatic elevation changes, challenging water features, and a feeling of seclusion that makes each hole feel like its own private arena. The par-3 12th, with its waterfall, is absolutely unforgettable.

Is Druids Glen a walkable course, or should I definitely opt for a buggy?

While it's certainly possible to walk Druids Glen, we highly recommend taking a buggy, especially if you're playing 36 holes or aren't accustomed to significant elevation changes. The course is quite hilly in places, and a buggy will help you conserve energy to truly enjoy the back nine. Caddies are also available and offer invaluable local knowledge.

Druids Glen has two courses; how does the 'Glen' course compare to Druids Heath?

The 'Glen' course is the original championship track, known for its lush parkland beauty and dramatic, tree-lined holes. Druids Heath, on the other hand, offers a more links-style feel with wider fairways and more exposed, heathland terrain, often battling the coastal winds. We suggest playing both if you have time, but if you only have one round, the 'Glen' is the iconic experience.

What's the best way to relax and refuel after a round at Druids Glen?

After tackling the Glen, you absolutely must grab a pint and some excellent food at the clubhouse bar, The Thirteenth. The views over the 18th green are fantastic, and it's the perfect spot to dissect your round. If you're staying overnight, the resort's spa is a fantastic way to soothe those golfing muscles.
