Our selected golf courses for Irish tours: Wicklow - Druids Glen & Heath - The European - Woodenbridge

Druids Glen
Architects: P. Ruddy & T. Craddock.
18 holes: 7,046m: Par 71.
Around the old country house and estate Druids Glen has an almost formal garden like atmosphere and stands up well to its epithet “The Augusta of
Europe”. Each hole has been crafted to provide a visual treat as well as a golfing test. Has hosted the Irish Open on four occasions and is every bit as good to play as it is to admire. |
Druids Heath
Architect: P. Ruddy..
18
holes: 7,001yds: Par 71.
A newer addition to the set-up at Druids Glen, although you would be hard pressed to tell as the course winds through unrelenting gorse - stunning both visually and olfactorily in Spring. The original course was deemed too tough by many so a rethink of a few holes has led to a softening here and there. Druid's Heath is now a lovely course where you will really need to play well to score. |

The European
Architect: P. Ruddy.
18 holes: 6,187m: Par 71.
Exceptional links course in a spectacular setting: tall dunes and deeply sleepered bunkers abound.
An absolute must for all links enthusiasts. Designed, owned, managed, loved and staffed by the legendary Pat Ruddy - no greater golf enthusiast ever walked this planet. |
Powerscourt East & West
Architect: P. McEvoy.
18 + 18
holes: 6,410m: Par 72.
Two beautiful parkland courses in the grounds of the Powerscourt Demesne, set amidst the Wicklow hills. Classic Wicklow scenery and two very enjoyable and well maintained courses. |

Wicklow
Architects: T. Craddock & P. Ruddy.
18 holes: 5,427m:
Par 71.
Stunning setting and views across the Irish sea. Some of the most scenic holes in Ireland - and probably the best value too. Although not as long as current fashion might dictate, Wicklow still offers a good test of golf and a very warm welcome on a course etched into the Wicklow coastline. |
Woodbrook
Architect: P. McEvoy.
18
holes: 6,863yds: Par 72.
From the back Tees a very strong challenge to anybody's golf, which explains why Woodbrook frequently plays host to the senior Irish Open. Predominantly a parkland course there are also a few holes that run along the clifftops overlooking the sea. |

Woodenbridge
Architect: P. Merrigan.
18 holes: 6,350m: Par
71.
Utter tranquility near the archetypal Wicklow village of Avoca. A sheltered course that wends its way quietly through three
valleys at the confluence of two rivers. |
Blainroe
Architect: Hawtree & Sons.
18 holes: 6,175m: Par 72.
Just south of Wicklow on the coast, eleven holes are in full view of the sea, the other seven climb away inland from the coast to give a good variety of golf and some magnificent views. |
