Druids Glen Resort

Very pleased with the facilities presentation and comfort of the resort hotel. Staff were all friendly and helpful.

The hotel was a disappointment. Probably it was a top 5 star hotel in the past, now tdhat’s long gone. It was crowded with screaming children and there were hardly any golfers. The Hugo restaurant is very medium quality. The 2 golfcourses are great but the hotel, the restaurants and driving range are very below standard.

Staff were above and beyond at all times, my bag got lost by the airline and so I had nothing on me, I was kindly given a bag of toiletries and details of where to purchase clothing etc. They even gave me some chocolate to cheer me up! The food was great, room was super comfortable. Resort was stunning immaculately clean. Had a great stay

This is pitched as Irelands version of the Belfrey, but it’s not. Let’s be clear, the Heath course is easily better than the PGA National. The Glen course is easily better than the Brabazon. However, the resort isn’t run as well as the Belfry. There’s no halfway house, there’s no person on the first tee seeing you off. The pro shop is as basic as basic comes. The hotel is great, arguably better than the Belfry, however the Belfry excels at running a business designed to take my money! The Belfry bar is fantastic - sports TVs, easy access to the course. The Druids bar is just a bar.. there’s no “sports” element to it. Obviously these are small things, so here’s the biggest.. the driving range. It looks like stable built in 1980. Even my local club has a better one (and the Belfry range looks like a spaceship by comparison). For me, this is a fantastic golf resort that could just do with that extra bit of care taken in order to turn it into a premier resort. There’s courses are better but it lets itself down with the extras (pro shop, range, bar). Feels like it’s so close to being perfect.

Just returned from Druids glen , we played the heath course and the glen course twice . Both were unreal courses with the glen being up there with the best courses I’ve ever played . The hotel was brilliant and facilities second to none , friendly staff who would do anything for you and were actually interested in your group and experience . We can’t fault anything from start to finish . Thanks Druids glen for your hospitality 10/10

Great stay, enjoyed the golf and hotel, didnt think the food was great at the hotel

Hotel was comfortable, clean and had all the facilities required to make the stay as good as it gets.

Hotel was good, staff were very friendly. Reception team helpful, concierge brilliant. Not many golfers, did have x2 wedding parties in. Golf shop was disappointing and limited seating outside after golf.

Great team Great Food, great breakfast - staff couldn't do enough It would be worth noting that the hotel and golf course are separate and you will need to get a shuttle bus from one to the other or leave cars at the course

Superb golfing destination with regards quality of course, proximity of the hotel & facilities together with the eagerness of all the staff to make sure we had a great & memorable time.

Food mostly pub type and restaurant and bar staff not knowledgeable Rooms OK but a bit tired

We had a great time in druids glen we arrived early but the receptionist found us wonderful room with a view of the golf course.The hotel has fabulous leisure centre and spa which my wife found catered for a her needs

Only chink in the armour was ability to get food an arrival at 11:00 prior to playing golf, which fell between breakfast and lunch.

Great hotel, terrifc rooms, we didn't have evening meals in the hotel (we travelled to Greystones instead) but breakfasts in hotel were excellent.

We were able to book in early and room was excellent. Food, especially the breakfast was great with good variety. No complaints. Staff were very friendly.

Excellent golf resort with top class facilities.

The hotel is of the highest quality and the staff are excellent very pleasant and easy to get along with. The food and drink for breakfast and dinner was excellent. Perfect way to begin and end a round of golf with great food. The room itself again was perfect plenty of space, comfortable beds and a well sized bathroom.

My Husband & his friend enjoyed their stay immensly

Staff very friendly and helpful. Lovely and clean e everywhere.

Great hotel. Staff excellent-attentive and helpful!

Excellent accommodation and staff

Top class hotel. Staff very attentive.

Excellent from start to finish the staff were very helpful and catered for all our needs

Just love this place. Has recently been extended providing very comfortable bar and restaurant facilities. Food is very pricey for what it is (bar food not terribly adventurous but add in the fact that you can eat in the clubhouse ( franchised out but absolutely wonderful) there is a fantastic choice of places to eat. We received a room upgrade ( as Your Golf Travel requested) and it was a beautiful room overloooking the 13th tee. Staff were, as ever, absolutely wonderful and we would return tomorrow, given it’s proximity to such wonderful golf courses.

Made welcome by the staff. Rented clubs were satisfactory. Buggy reliable. Really enjoyed the top course. Last few holes were tricky requiring a long solid drive over water. A terrific test.

See comments on Druids Glen

The driving range at the hotel is a disaster. All 3 days there were no bals in the machine. Even after complaining they didn’t solve the problem. But apart from the absence of range halls the range is a disgrace for such a highly rated golfcourse. If you spent so much money on a golfcourse, you want a proper warm up to play a good round (Rudolf Blank, handicap 6,4).

Very pleasant game of golf with a lot of water to catch you out. Loved the course and would love to play again. Good course managementship is required here

Fairways suffering along with tees probably lack of rain.

Best course ever

Just beautiful. You won’t find many better courses than this. Par 3s will stay in the memory for a long time.

The course was stunning, difficult to play, which was great, felt like we were challenged! What we really found frustrating was the staff, wr paid a significant sum to travel over to play here, we were greeted with a grunt. Every course we play, you usually get a little intro, they pointt out the range and the first tee, ask if you have any questions, a smile even lol. Nothing of the sort from here, made to feel unwelcome, like they couldn't care at all, just left to it. Was incredibly disappointing and really took from what could have been a great experience

Incredible course with lots of beautiful aspects most courses leave out. Bridges, flowers, water.. feels American and Augusta like. I’ve never seen so many greens keepers. It’s only let down by the lack of a decent range, warm up area, sports bar, half way house etc

At no point is there a flat part of this course which is punishing for average golfers. Great course that suffers only because it’s next to an absolute worldie of a course (the Glen)

A beautiful course - I can see why it is often called the Mini Augusta of Europe - some really creative and visually challenging holes. Course was in top condition

Absolutely unbelievable experience from start to finish . The Pro shop staff were great the bar staff were great . The course was literally 10/10 . Every hole was a photo opportunity and maintained in unbelievable condition . The par 3z are out of this world and the closest the normal golfer will get to experiencing Augusta ! Not one bad word to say about it and can’t wait to return .

The heath course was outstanding landscape , a very tough course with some great holes and a variety of long , short , tight and some open holes ! Few greens had been pecked by the crow's but that’s not the courses fault and they weren’t bad .

Nice course, great layout, greens not cut and lots of tree and flower debris on the greens

Nice second course

Throughly enjoyed the challenge of the Heath course. The condition of the course, the scenery and facilities were all good.

Challenging course, but stunning. Group rated this top 3 courses ever played. Pro shop wasn’t great, but bar team were friendly. Again shame no starter present when teeing off.

Challenging course, shame they didn’t have a starter to welcome/ send people off. 4.20 hour round.

Unbelievable golf course - picture perfect

Superb - from the course design to the quality of the course itself re its condition. Everything about it was top drawer & one of the best challenges of golf encountered in the UK & Ireland.

Nice warm up course - too many holes the same in design & layout but a few memorable ones. If you have played the Glens course first, then this one would be a disappointment. Driving range was poor as was the chipping/putting green area.

A top golf course in every regard

Loved it

A1 from top to bottom. Played the whole round in the rain on a empty course! One of the nest visual golf experiences I have had

The best golf course I ever played

It’s a tough golf course

again disappointed with the time slots as we didn't get to finish the round before dark.

was disappointed with our time slots as we didn't get to finish the round before dark.

Green not the same standard as the rest of the course, which was excellent.

The course is being revamped next year, greens not as good as I remember them.

After playing Druids Glen the day before, the Heath course was a bit of a let down. This was due to a number of factors : 1. The course is undergoing some renovation and 2 holes were out of play, which meant we had to play 2 holes twice to complete the 18 holes. 2. All the bunkers were out of play 3. The greens were not in great condition, they were heavily sanded and very slow (in stark comparison to Druids Glen). The above was a shame as there were some stunning holes on the course, but overall the experience was a bit of a let down compared to the "Glen", it would not put me off staying and playing here again, hopefully I will get to play it next time when the renovations are complete.

Stunning course in great condition. Par 3s were beautiful, Augusta like in so many ways. Staff in the shop or bar were not most welcoming, but didn't spoil the experience. Course signage between holes could of been better, some of the tee boxes used didn't identify the hole being played.

What an amazing course! Probably the most eye catching of the 3 we played. Unbelievable views on so many holes. The course is very well manicured. The course is about to under go some renovations over the next year and with this you could tell that the course was in the closing down stages. However, the greens were good and pretty fast consider the tining & top dressing work and there wasn’t many sticky bits considering it’s late October. Amazing course I’d love to play again. Facilities wise, it’s a bit of a let down just now as the clubhouse, changing areas, and pro shop are pretty dated and run down but from what I understand these are all part of the renovations too. Definitely one for 2023 I reckon

One of the best courses to play. Greens were in excellent condition. Beautiful course both to play and walk! However it is closing for the 2022 year for refurbishment. Should be a super course when I hope to return in 2023. Might just play this one twice and give the Heath a miss!

Greens had just been dressed so they were not at their best. All bunkers were out of play as they were doing major work. They are opening up the course - taking away whins and grassing over some bunkers - and one of the ponds! Still a challenge but I think the aesthetics of the course have been spoiled.

Good 2nd course. Seems unfinished and all bunkers were GUR

Very good course but not manicured to the high standards it has set itself. Difficult to play but very enjoyable.

One of the best parkland courses in Ireland but on the day we played it was looking a little tired in places.

An altogether different experience to that of Druids Glen but still a great golf course. It’s a golf course that you need to find the fairway with plenty of well placed bunkers and patches of gorse bushes located throughout all the holes. The greens are some of the smoothest I’ve played on especially this time of year approaching the end of the golf season. Would recommend this course for anyone wanting to test their accuracy and ball striking.

I would describe the golf course as fair rather than hard. Its a golf course that you need to think your way around and be strategic off the tee with water in play mixed with narrow fairways, well placed bunkers and small quick greens. The golf course is very scenic with many great holes especially the par 3’s. Stand out holes for me would be 12 and 13. Would highly recommend for first time players or people wanting to go again.

Completely different to druids glen this course is more links. With lovely views, the course was in very good condition and the green where good.

The course was the best course we have played in a long time. Even though it was challenging, every hole was a picture. It was a course that you will member each hole for a long time.

It’s now a few years since I last played Druids Glen, and I had forgotten parts of the course. My wife and two friends made up the fourball, and none of them had played it before. They had listened to me rave about this course, and none of them were disappointed. The course was in great condition and It has to rank as one of the best and most beautiful courses in Ireland.

Too many bunkers

Beautiful course, in great condition. Looking forward to going back.

Tough course in the wind.

Fantastic course very links like greens superb and really enjoyable

First time ever playing this course and generally was in good condition for the time of year and expected works to the course. A great course glad we took buggies though

A beautiful course especially in early Autumn. However our tee time was in the middle of a 3-ball scramble competition which was slow and left the greens covered in unrepaired pitch marks. Even the friendly starter was amazed to see that we had been allocated this tee time.

The course was in fantastic condition and looked absolutely beautiful. Never too busy. We just loved playing golf here. Big carries for short hitters but spectacular. LOVE IT!
