Ireland – East – Druids Glen – 7026 yds – Par 71
Druids Glen features prominently alongside the likes of the K Club, Mount Juliet, Carlow and Fota Island in every discussion of great inland golf courses. And while it’s purely a matter of opinion as to which is best, the important thing to remember is that there’s much more to Irish golf than its links courses.
Druids Glen played host to the Irish Open Golf Championship from 1996 to 1999 and was voted European Golf Course of the year in 2000 at the prestigious Hertz International Travel Awards. It’s said that every great course produces great champions and Druids Glen is no different, having produced winners of the calibre of Montgomery and Garcia.
