Celtic Manor Resort Golf Club

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 Roman Road, 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.

Golf course review of Celtic Manor Resort Golf Club
Wow this golf course is nothing like you would imagine when they say its the 3rd of the three courses-you think oh its probably poor, short and boring. You couldn't me more wrong if you tried!
We played on Monday 22nd August 2011 as part of a golf society. The staff were great at the clubhouse and very friendly and welcoming. The course was very hilly and i would not fancy walking it (unless i was striving for an all over workout!). The only hole on the course i thought was slightly dull and uninspiring was actually the first, some of the holes-the par 5 3rd hole is just amazing and so rare to see which makes for an interesting round. Tee offs were excellent, fairways nicely cut in and the rough fair but tough in places. The Greens were in lovely condition but they are quick and i mean really quick (practise on a glass surface before you play!) which is my main gripe; the course does have a linksy feel to it as you cannot hit a ball onto some of the greens and get any spin which means it runs off and to try and play chip and runs on some of the holes was nigh on impossible which left you feeling a little well, how do i play it?
The 9th hole has an amazing drinks/food hut which is really welcoming and the layout never feels compact.
All in all i really do believe that Celtic Manor has a great course here and to say its the 3rd doesn't do it justice-dont forget to practise your chipping and putting and if your walking make sure you warm your calves up!!!!

Golf course review of Celtic Manor Resort Golf Club
The 2010 is an amazing course and even though it still showed signs of the trouncing it received from the Ryder Cup crowds around the edges the course was in brilliant condition even the newly aeriated greens were smooth and true. It is one course where every hole has a WOW! factor. The whole experience was brilliant from the vcery friendly staff to the brilliant facilities and not forgetting the amazing course. I will definately be going back. Especially as i won a free round on the par 3 challenge.

Golf course review of Celtic Manor Resort Golf Club
Played Roman Road - Hole for hole this is a fantastic course - Although we played in bright autumn sunshine off the fairways it was very wet, hence lots of plugged balls! Fairways were amazingly firm and the greens in excellent condition considering the time of year.
Only gripe was the too much walking between holes and too many tarmac paths for fat American tourists as opposed to us fat lazy English!!
Facilities were first class and the staff very friendly and helpful. A credit to Wales.
