Welcome to Golf in Ireland by Irish Property World, your source for

Every effort has been made, and can be seen to have been made, to
make the Druid's Glen Golf Course in County Wicklow into one of the
most sophisticated homes of the game. The result is a truly magnificent
golf course which is near the village of Kilcoole just 20 miles south
of central Dublin in the lovely County Wicklow. The Druid's Glen site
is a turbulent, well wooded, well watered property of about 400 acres
just to the seaward side of the N11 motorway south of the Glen of
the Downs. It encompasses the old Woodstock Estate and an adjoining
farm.
The course presents a pretty picture from the first tee, a gorgeously
sweeping par-4 of 445 yards across a gentle swale to a green lurking
like a dangerous woman in the sunlit trees, to the 18th green which
is an awesome target across three lakes which cascade over weirs one
into the other at the end of a strenuous 485-yard journey uphill!
Like great designers, composers and playwrights before them, they
have not been slow to adapt some of the most trusted and proven principles
of some of the most storied holes in golf. The par - 3 second, for
instance, measures 190-yards and is broadly based on the second shot
to the infamous Road Hole at St. Andrews.
There it is, a long iron shot, a large green curving uphill from
the right and wrapping itself around behind an evil front bunker;
and, at the back, a road backed by a stone wall! The par - 3 eighth
hole is 166 - yards across the water, just a few yards removed from
the 16th at Augusta National, and the green has been built along the
same evil principles and lines as those to be seen at the famous Georgia
hole... all from memory and with a large twist of artistic individuality
and not a little cruelty.
The par-3 seventeenth features an island green to bring to Irish
golfers their first major chance to play this type of hole which has
become such an exciting feature of modern golf. The course has been
built to the highest specifications by Sandale Construction and no
effort has been spared making Druid’s Glen a true gem in the
garden of Ireland, Co. Wicklow.
