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.

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!!!!

Twenty Ten
Amazing. If you are ever considering visiting this place do it.
Course is great fun, lots of water too!
The whole experience is a really good day.
The wind can pick it making it play hard and long but this is what you would expect from a Ryder Cup/European Tour venue. - Jul 12 2016

- Jul 29 2018Great Experience
We played 3courses last weekend, Roman road was the best and most mature, 20/10 was very difficult and although we have faced burnt hard fairways this is for the better golfers only. If your handicap is over 18 you will waste your money although the whole experience was brilliant. WE played the Montgomery last and you need a buggy for this, good course although a lot of blind shots
. Overall excellent weekend Celtic Manor was fantastic and the staff were excellent.

Steve C rated 3 out of 5 - Jul 19 2018
- Jul 19 2018a monster course to walk
Not a walking couse unless you are fit. Long distances between some of the holes.
Buggies MUST keep to cart paths so expect a 5 hour round minimum
Kept very well as you would expect at Celtic Manor.
Fairways not really watered during the drought so they are v dry and bouncy

Barkham rated 5 out of 5 - Jul 2 2018
- Jul 2 2018Two Great Courses
Had the pleasure of playing the Montgomery and the 2010. I am pretty sure Monty did not walk this course when he designed it. It is very hilly but a great knock. The 2010 is awesome and makes you realise just how good those boys are. Long, great par 3's, water everywhere just don't take yourself to seriously whilst playing you are playing a top championship course and it will get you at some point.

David S rated 5 out of 5 - Apr 24 2018
- Apr 24 2018Fantastic all round experience
The weather was awful and the course really muddy but we chose to play despite being offered a weather get out! We did'nt regret the decision. This is an experience, not just a round of golf, we were treated like VIPs throughout, had free tees, practice balls, a souvenir bag tag and were driven to the first tee.
My son and I thoroughly enjoyed the challenge and although we are relatively new to golf, it was tough, but not so tough to put us off playing again in better weather.
Well worth the money and the drive!

- Apr 14 2018Wet, wet, wet
Appreciate the weather has been bad but the course was in poor condition. I would say the fairways had not been cut for 2 Weeks, in fact you couldn?t even make out where they once were!
Have said this was always a good little course for the money but now other places such as Tall Pines down the road are offering 18 holes for as little as ?16 it?s difficult to make an argument that ?13 for 9 holes here is good value.
