The Garden of Ireland Golf Trail
Three nights at a 4-star Wicklow hotel with three championship rounds — Druids Glen, Druids Heath and Powerscourt East. Full Irish breakfast each morning. This is the definitive Wicklow golf experience: three of the county's finest layouts across three days, with one of Ireland's greatest hotel-and-golf estates as your base.
3-Day Itinerary
Day 1 — Druids Glen Golf Resort
Druids Glen Golf Resort is the county's flagship championship course — a four-time Irish Open host designed by Pat Ruddy and Tom Craddock in 1995. Par 72, 7,222 yards, five-star resort setting. Arrive the evening before, settle in, and start the trip with the best.
Day 2 — Druids Heath
Druids Heath is Druids Glen's lesser-known neighbour on the same estate — heathland character, tighter and more technical than the Glen, and a very different test. Most visitors who play both agree that the Heath is the more interesting challenge.
Day 3 — Powerscourt East
Powerscourt Golf Club East provides a spectacular finale — Peter McEvoy's 1996 design on the famous Powerscourt Estate in Enniskerry, with the Sugar Loaf Mountain as the backdrop. After your round, the Powerscourt Estate Gardens are worth an hour before the drive home.
