Druids Glen is often referred to as "The Augusta of Europe", and is regarded as one of the finest inland courses in Europe, hosting the Irish Open four times as well as the Seve Trophy in 2001.
The flora and fauna of the Glen provide a colourful backdrop to a magnificent golf course, with the fairways so well maintained to remind the golfer of Amen Corner and the US Masters. The forests and streams produce a haven for wildlife in what was once a home to the old Druids.
