What the club says: There are three championship golf courses at The Celtic Manor Resort

The Twenty Ten Course: Built to stage The Ryder Cup in 2010, the 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.

The Roman Road Course was the first of the Resort’s courses, 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 Montgomerie: Designed by Ryder Cup captain Colin Montgomerie, the 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.

Waterlogged

A group of 8 played the Montgomery course on Thursday 14th March. On walking to the 1st tee the group playing in front of us were walking off having only played the 1st stating that the course was like a bog and unplayable. Being from West Wales we are used to wet conditions so decided to carry on. Halfway down the fairway there are patches which can only be described as a paddy field. We played on and found that balls were lost on the fairway having plugged. In places the fairway was treacherous and dangerous under foot sliding down any slopes. There was standing water on the greens. The course was totally unplayable and should have been closed.

We all got rained off from our golf tee time and Finn in the pro shop was more than helpful at finding out why and even giving us 20% discount from top tracer due to the confusion excellent customer service if you ask me.

Waterlogged and unplayable. Don't go.

Cynical to keep what is an unplayable and waterlogged course "open". They take your money ,allow you to turn up and then say you can try it out and will credit you if you don't like it . Totally unprofessional and cynical attitude to golfers.They know the course is unplayable, slippery,muddy ,bunkers full of water .it's dangerous to walk around ,took 25 minutes to play one hole ...plugged balls on the fairways .A very bad joke . Celtic Manor owner and Directors should be ashamed to allow this .why dont they just be honest and call you to say don't come ??

Good morning,

Thank you for sharing your feedback.

I am sorry to hear your recent experience left you disappointed. We have experienced exceptionally high volumes of rainfall throughout October and through the first fortnight of November. This has resulted in wetter and more challenging conditions.

We work with our estates team to determine whether the rules of golf can be applied and make an informed decision. We try to remain as transparent as possible and our adverse weather policy tries to be flexible providing golfers with the opportunity to continue to play but also provides the option of a monetary voucher on days where we have received significant rainfall.

I do hope your recent experience has not deterred you from returning in the future as the team would be delighted to welcome you back.

Kind regards,

Brian

Played the Roman Road 26/10/23. It's incredible they have the course open and ask for green fees. With the recent heavy rain the course was unplayable. Every fairway had rising water and you were walking in ankle deep mud. Ball plugged and you were fortunate to find your ball on the fairways.
Greens were good but not an enjoyable experience. I drove 3 hours to get there and only played 4 holes.
Don't play the course in the winter.
i answered I would recommend and play again but only in the dry months

Dont book in advance

Slow play - the expected round is 4hr50 , which we still managed to go over!
Also its cheaper to book closer the date so you might as well wait until the day before when you know the weather forecast - there were plenty of tee times left on a sunny august day

Great weekend golfing on 2 top courses.
The facilities were great and service great at the golf course and hotel reception but the hotel (Coldra Court) barstaff were very poor and made us feel it was a chore to serve us but everyone else at the hotel and golf courses were great.
Will definitely play again

The courses are fine but not good enough to spend over 5 hours and waiting on every shot. Buggy hire is £55 which is a lot more than most courses especially when you have to stay on the buggy path. Hour after hour walking across the course with armfuls of clubs! Be warned.

Dear Kevin,

Thank you so much for your review.

I am delighted to hear you enjoyed your visit to the Resort and experience on the golf course. Although the buggies are limited to being driven on the buggy paths, they do have visage screens with touchscreen GPS to allow you to obtain a yardage from the location of your ball.

We look forward to welcoming you back to the Celtic Manor Resort.
