Druids Glen Resort

Absolutely amazing, the staff couldn't do enough, they went above and beyond, recommend. The weather was bad, so chilled for the rest of the day. The next day was cold and fresh, but some lovely walks around the grounds.. great location......

What a wonderful gem of a hotel and restaurant. A very well traveled friend recommended this hotel and she is spot on ! Don’t be deceived by the contemporary golf club vibe. It is so nice, friendly and attractive. Our check in was so fun and welcoming. Lots of good laughs and warmth from the reception desk. Great luggage valet and spotless handsome room with lovely view. Our dinner at Hugo’s was so enjoyable. Mateo, the host was beyond gracious, charming and helpful. He made it a very special evening for us blokes from the States. The lamb entree I had was so very delicious, one of the best in many moons. The fellow guests were very attractive, friendly and charming to be with. What a treat this whole place is. I wish it was in our California neighborhood! Thank you Druid’s Glen. We shall return.

We travelled from Surrey with high expectations for Druids Glen Hotel & Golf Resort, but unfortunately, our experience was nothing short of disappointing, and we certainly won’t be returning. Starting with the Glen golf course, the condition was shockingly poor for a venue that dares to market itself as premium. The welcome was non existent from a chap no more than 16 years old with little interest in his role. The tee boxes looked practically dead, clearly suffering from complete neglect. The greens were painfully slow, inconsistent, and lacked any of the pace or quality you'd expect from a top-level course. To make matters worse, many bunkers were unraked, and the course overall showed clear signs of poor maintenance and lack of care. For the green fee being charged, this is quite frankly a rip-off. The golf experience was not only disappointing, it was frustrating. The Heath course although a fraction of the cost was in slightly better condition but still not worthy of the fee charged. Again, welcomed by inexperienced staff and the buggy we were given on both days was filthy. We played Bray golf club on day 1 and this was a better experience at a lower cost than the two courses in this Resort. As for the hotel 7 clubhouses, the problems didn’t end at the course. Service was slow, inattentive, and disorganised, and the food was utterly tasteless. Bland, lacking freshness, and miles away from anything remotely close to fine dining. We genuinely questioned if the staff had any experience delivering what is supposedly a five-star experience. Let’s be clear: this is absolutely not a 5-star hotel, and it’s misleading to advertise it as such. From the golf course to the hotel service, the entire resort falls well below standard. Save your money and your time — there are far better places in Ireland (and abroad) where you’ll get the quality, hospitality, and care that Druids Glen severely lacks.
