Where2Golf says:
Druids Glen Golf Club: This very challenging and quite hilly parkland course contains an array of really spectacular holes, where a certain amount of mercurial golfing talent will be needed to score well. There are trees and shrubs of every kind in this enchanted woodland, many of them squeezing the fairways tight and making the landing areas small - if the trees don't do that on some holes, then water hazards will (especially on the back-nine). Keeping your ball in play is a big enough challenge here, add in the changes in elevation and Druids Glen will doubtless give you and your golf game a thorough work out. The island green par-3 17th and the uphill par-4 18th make for a very tough and potentially watery finish - so hang in there until the end and enjoy the splendid 19th hole - a former stately home.
