The K Club in Kildare, venue for the 2006 Ryder Cup matches, was also shortlisted for the award, along with Turnberry and Gleneagles in Scotland, Celtic Manor in Wales and Montecastillo in Spain.
Druids Glen, which has been enhanced by the recent addition of a second course known as Druids Heath, also hosted the Seve Trophy in 2002.
