Druids Glen Course Description
The owners commissioned Pat Ruddy and Tom Craddock to design a spectacular golf course in the grounds on an old estate. The budget was unlimited and the two master craftsmen produced a design that is often referred to as the Augusta of Europe. Already a peaceful and scenic location, the name derives from a stone altar used for pre-Christian worship, the golf course now incorporates stunning floral displays at every turn.
