Druids Glen
In terms of colour , rhythm , variety and sheer intrigue there is no Irish course to compare with Druids Glen . This is thrilling golf from start to finish and the club possesses the best set of par threes on the island . Despite the youthful age of the course ( 1995 ), Druids Glen feels so much older , flowing over rolling , mature parkland packed with wildlife . It is by no means an easy course – much of the back nine is laced with water – but this is all about the many thrilling shots . It doesn ’ t get much better than the par three 8th and 12th , both in enchanting settings and both promising watery ends for the faint of heart . The 18th is a tough but magnificent closing par four , which climbs all the way to a green jealously guarded by more water . Beyond it sits the plush Woodstock House ( now the clubhouse ), built in the 1770s . The Irish Open was held here from 1996 to 1999 .
