Druids Glen Hotel & Golf Resort – Luxury 5-Star Golf Escape in Wicklow

Overview

Druids Glen Hotel & Golf Resort is a luxurious 5-star countryside retreat located in Newtownmountkennedy, County Wicklow, often referred to as “The Garden of Ireland.” Surrounded by mature woodland, tranquil lakes and beautifully landscaped grounds, the resort offers a peaceful escape just 30 minutes south of Dublin. Its exceptional service, elegant interiors and two outstanding golf courses make it one of Ireland’s most desirable destinations for both golf breaks and luxury leisure stays.

The hotel is refined and contemporary, with a warm and welcoming atmosphere throughout its spacious lounges, stylish furnishings and light-filled public areas. Bedrooms are elegantly designed, blending soft tones and modern comfort with views of the gardens, resort grounds or Wicklow’s rolling countryside. Suites offer additional space, upgraded amenities and a heightened sense of luxury.

Dining at Druids Glen is first-class. Hugo’s Restaurant showcases seasonal Irish produce in an elegant setting, while The Garden Rooms & Bar provides a more relaxed environment with beautiful views across the estate. Guests can also enjoy afternoon tea or a drink in one of the hotel’s cosy lounges.

A major highlight of the resort is its golf offering. Druids Glen, often called “The Augusta of Ireland,” is a magnificent, colourful and meticulously maintained championship course that has hosted the Irish Open. Known for its lakes, water features, pristine greens and dramatic par-3s, it remains one of Ireland’s most celebrated parkland courses. The resort also features Druids Heath, a contrasting layout with a more natural, rugged and links-like character that offers scenic views towards the Irish Sea.

The hotel’s Druids Glen Spa & Health Club is a serene haven for relaxation, featuring an indoor swimming pool, jacuzzi, sauna, steam room, treatment suites and a fully equipped fitness centre. The surrounding Wicklow countryside — including Powerscourt, Glendalough and the Wicklow Mountains — provides exceptional opportunities for sightseeing and outdoor activities.

Druids Glen Hotel & Golf Resort delivers a complete luxury escape: world-class golf, elegant accommodation, award-winning dining and serene natural surroundings. It is an outstanding choice for golfers, couples and guests seeking peaceful luxury close to Dublin.
