Arklow Golf Links

Druids Glen called the Augusta of Europe is a very beautiful parkland course, American style. It is very spectacular and still remarkably well maintained. Truly superb in spring or summer, very flowery. It has hosted the Irish Open on several occasions. It is part of a luxury resort which expanded with the opening of another 18 hole course in 2003 called Druids Heath, designed by the same architect Pat Ruddy who also created The European.
The DRUIDS GLEN Course
Enjoy the tranquility of the legendary Druids Glen course, with its tree-lined fairways, grandiose landscapes, spectacular bodies of water and vibrant flowers.

This famous course, designed by Pat Ruddy & Tom Craddock, opened in 1995. Just one year after its opening, Druids Glen has hosted the Irish Open for four consecutive years. Colin Montgomerie won it two years in a row, followed by David Carter and Sergio Garcia, with a score of 64 in the final round. Druids Glen hosted the prestigious Seve Trophy, a biannual event bringing together the main Tour champions of Great Britain and Ireland and Continental Europe.
The DRUIDES HEATH Course
There are few places in the world that embody the true spirit of golf, like Druids Heath. Mountains, sea and rolling Irish countryside provide stunning views the whole way. The sea breeze demands precision and creativity from the golfer.

According to Pat Ruddy, "Druids Heath offers the player the opportunity to set off in an invigorating place for body and soul, the ever-present sea breeze adding a lot to the sporting challenge, which is difficult to focus on because the eye wanders eagerly 80 km at sea, 30 km south over an unspoiled, undulating pastoral scene to Wicklow Head and inland into the Wicklow Mountains. Boring would be- he has a soul who would let a few stray clichés ruin a day in such a blessed place.
