Druids heath; long, tough? but well worth a 5 minute spin

Baltinglas, dont know. 45mins hard driving.
Macreddin, dont know, 45-60mins drive

10mins away:
Greystones, Old Conna, Dunloaghaire, Bray, Powerscourt, Woodbrook,

I've heard Delgany Golf Club itself is supposed to be pretty good.

For somewhere close and if wife is expecting you back - Glen of Downs

If she doesn't mind you being gone an extra 2 hours - Macreddin

If you're a long hitter and like a stern test - Druids Heath

Mr. Larson

Personally Id go with Druids Heath, Macreddin or Wicklow. Druids Heath is closest, Macreddin farthest. Wicklow only 15-20 mins from Delgany. Charlesland, Glen of The Downs, Baltnglass, I wouldn't bother. Depending on the tees Druids Heath might be the toughest. Wicklow from Whites is very short with reachable par 5s and 2 to 3 driveable Par 4s for long hitters but in terms of location and views along the cliffs towards Wicklow Head its second to none. Macreddin is a great track, beautiful and not that easy but a bit more of a hike.

Looks like he wants to play a singles.

Also Blainroe is closer than Arklow and the European.

You're only playing one of the days???

Your on your hols. Play Druids Glen!! Macreddin would be worth the drive, fabulous course.

If you find yourself with a last minute pass, there's a magnificent par3 at Glen Mill if it helps, 5mins away, but needs more than 2hours to enjoy

For me definitely Druids Heath and Macreddin (with a buggy).

Wicklow GC is too short and poor finish from 14-18th holes..disappointing

Charlesland is a decent track nothing brilliant , but open so wont test ya.

Glen of the down, not bad but too many blind spots.

If i'm lucky:(
think if i suggest to herself while i play golf she heads into Dublin shopping that could work....could be a very costly round of golf though!!

Bring her to Dundrum SC, the amount of time the women spend there, you could get 2 rounds in
