Druids Glen Hotel & Golf Resort
Newtown Mount Kennedy
Druids Glen Hotel & Golf Resort is one of Ireland's most prestigious golf destinations, offering an exceptional combination of five-star accommodation, championship golf and outstanding leisure facilities. Nestled within 360 acres of beautiful countryside in Newtownmountkennedy, County Wicklow, this magnificent resort enjoys a spectacular setting between the Wicklow Mountains and the Irish Sea. With two championship golf courses, luxurious accommodation and excellent dining options, Druids Glen provides the perfect setting for a memorable golf holiday in Ireland. At Hashtag Golf Travel, we highly recommend this outstanding resort for couples, groups of friends and golf societies seeking a luxury golfing escape within easy reach of Dublin.
The hotel features 145 beautifully appointed rooms and suites, designed to provide comfort and relaxation after a day on the fairways. Accommodation ranges from spacious Deluxe and Superior rooms to elegant Executive Suites and the luxurious Presidential Suite. Each room features contemporary furnishings, comfortable beds, modern bathrooms and thoughtful amenities, while selected accommodation offers beautiful views across the golf course, woodland or surrounding countryside. For golfers seeking a more exclusive experience, the beautifully restored Woodstock House provides nine individually designed guestrooms and suites, offering an intimate countryside retreat beside the first tee of Druids Glen Golf Course.
Golf is undoubtedly one of the main attractions at Druids Glen Hotel & Golf Resort, with two outstanding 18-hole championship courses offering contrasting experiences. The famous Druids Glen Course, designed by Pat Ruddy and Tom Craddock, is affectionately known as the Augusta of Europe thanks to its spectacular parkland setting, colourful landscaping and beautifully maintained fairways. Having hosted the Irish Open on four consecutive occasions between 1996 and 1999, this celebrated par-72 course has welcomed some of the world's finest golfers. Following an extensive multimillion-euro renovation, the 7,222-yard layout offers immaculate putting surfaces, strategically positioned bunkers and challenging water hazards, creating a memorable experience for golfers of all abilities.
The resort's second championship layout, Druids Heath, provides a completely different golfing challenge. Set against breathtaking views of the Irish Sea and Wicklow Mountains, this impressive course combines traditional heathland characteristics with dramatic natural terrain. Golfers will encounter rolling fairways, strategically positioned pot bunkers, mature woodland and challenging elevation changes throughout their round. Coastal breezes introduce an additional element of difficulty, rewarding accurate ball striking and thoughtful course management. At Hashtag Golf Travel, we recommend playing both courses during your stay to experience the variety that makes Druids Glen one of the best golf resorts in Ireland.
Away from the fairways, Druids Glen offers an excellent selection of leisure and wellness facilities. The award-winning Spa at Druids Glen provides a peaceful sanctuary, featuring seven treatment rooms offering rejuvenating massages, facials and relaxing therapies. Guests can also enjoy the 18-metre heated indoor swimming pool, Jacuzzi, sauna, steam room and plunge pool, alongside a fully equipped fitness centre. For couples combining golf with relaxation, we particularly recommend allowing time for a spa treatment following a challenging round. The resort's beautiful grounds also offer scenic walking trails, while activities such as falconry and archery provide additional entertainment for guests.
Dining is another highlight of a stay at Druids Glen, with several excellent options catering for different tastes and occasions. Hugo's Restaurant, awarded two AA Rosettes for culinary excellence, offers sophisticated dining with contemporary dishes showcasing quality Irish ingredients. The Garden Rooms and Bar provides a more relaxed atmosphere, with attractive views overlooking the famous thirteenth hole of Druids Glen Golf Course. Guests can enjoy freshly prepared meals, light refreshments and evening cocktails, while the welcoming clubhouse restaurants provide excellent settings for post-round dining and drinks with friends.
The resort's location in County Wicklow makes it particularly appealing for golfers who wish to explore Ireland beyond the fairways. Situated approximately 30 minutes south of Dublin and 40 minutes from Dublin Airport, Druids Glen is easily accessible for golfers travelling from the UK. Nearby attractions include the magnificent Powerscourt Estate, the spectacular Wicklow Mountains National Park and the historic monastic settlement of Glendalough.
