Celtic Manor Resort

Celtic Manor Resort

The speed with which Celtic Manor has impressed itself on the world golfing scene is little short of miraculous. Since its opening in 1995, it has become one of the leading golf complexes in Europe, Celtic's three unique courses are supported by a 10 million pound clubhouse and floodlit golf academy plus a 400 bed Five Star hotel and health spa.

Built to stage The Ryder Cup in 2010, the Twenty Ten Course opened for play in July 2007. The first course to be built specifically for golf's greatest team tournament, it measures a robust 7,493 yards off the back tees and has a par of 71. With water hazards on half of its holes, the course has six signature holes and presents many more memorable tests and risk-and-reward dilemmas. One of the features of the spectacular new course is its variety with many of the earlier holes having a links-like feel with some long rough and greenside swales, before the middle section of the course reveals the full extent of the lake-lined challenge. A tough finishing stretch culminates in a real sting in the tail at the 18th.

The first of the Resort's courses, Roman Road opened in 1995 and was ranked 'the top inland course in Wales' by Golf Monthly Magazine. Overlooking the Severn Estuary with views across to Somerset and Devon, it was designed by Robert Trent Jones Snr and is named after the many Roman roads that criss-cross it, the design shaped to avoid disrupting any remains. The Roman Road course was the host venue in 2005, 2006 and 2007 for The Celtic Manor Wales Open.

The Montgomerie course measures 6,371 yards and has a par of 69. The front nine takes as its framework the starting and closing holes of the old Wentwood Hills championship course which were not part of the plans for the new course for The Ryder Cup. The back nine has been created from scratch on land that previously housed the 18-hole Coldra Woods academy course. Spectacular views abound with dramatic tee shots over valleys and breathtaking downhill shots. Two long par fives, a number of short par fours and several testing par threes all add up to an exciting and rewarding challenge.
