Fairways a joke! Should be shut. Just watching golfers slip over..balls lost in the fairways plugged.
Please take my advise don't bother until August at least!

Was really looking forward to the expereince of playing the Ryder cup venue, and arriving at the facility I felt like it was going to be a secial day. the welcome at te club house is great, the changing rooms with all the previous winners names and the ryder cup teams was great to see, it felt historic! Your clubs are shipped down to the course, and waiting for you at te range. the range is great, its open and you can hit off the grass. theres a chipping green with well maintained bunkers and a huge putting green. theres a photographer at the first tee who took a pic of the group and one of each of us mid flow through our tee shot.

I was over the moon with my highly anticipated tee shot... split the fairway with a sgood a shot as I could hit... then I fell out with the place. My ball disappeared. the first of 6 that I lost in themiddle of the fairway, the ball just lodged in the turf and disappeeared under ground. It became a real slog... 6 hours through mud. the buggies were only allowed on the path for good reason but it meant that you had to walk ages to your ball (if you could find it).

Its a stunning venue, the scenery is spectacular and some of the holes are beautiful and the challenge would be tough but fair, were it not for the fact its buolt ona river bed! Its very long for an average player. This place feel like a premium golfing experience until you ste foot on the course. Our round at the end of April will not be the last one to play in these conditions, as it will take weeks if not monts to recover. A sunny day at the end f August would present a very different experience but I would not recommened anyone playing this unless they know its been dry for a good few weeks. Not a lot of fun Im afraid.

Played the montgomery course the nex day (5 hours+), a much more interesting little course, but again unplayable in these conditions.

I understand that they cant cancel everyone but some sort of offering or acknowledgement of the awful condition would have gone a long way... a few sleeves of balls would have been nice!

We played Sunday 30th April and May 1st. The Mongomery and Roman Roads. Both courses should not be open. They are rediculously wet and boggy.Several lost balls that clearly landed in the fairways. Dangerously slippery all over the courses.
You kind of expect to play golf in Wales in the rain, however the courses are being ruined by people using trollies. The hotel is massivley overpriced for food and drinks, even if it is a resort course.
The hotel rooms, driving range and club shop were very good, and good value for money.

I am pleased to hear you enjoyed the hotel rooms, driving range and club shop.

Great golf course

Superb golf course set in very nice scenic surroundings. Very wet weather made it extremely difficult with soggy fairways but the greens and tee boxes were in great shape in spite of all the recent rains
Well worth a visit

Does not live up to expectation

Admittedly it was very wet underfoot / almost waterlogged which didnt help the experience. But overall a disappointing course given the cost of the green fee. There are many many courses better than this for the price, id save your money unless you are desperate to play a ryder cup course! And they try and take money off you at every opportunity, even parking!

Dear Steve,

Thank you so much for your review. I am sorry to hear you found the golf courses wet. We have experienced significantly high levels of rainfall in the area over the first couple of weeks of April. This has resulted in the golf courses being particularly wet for the time of year.

I do hope this has not discouraged you from returning to the Celtic Manor Resort in the future.

12 of us went to the Celtic Manor mid February. We stayed at Coldra Court which was excellent. Nice rooms, great food, very welcoming, etc.

It's a shame the same can't be said for the golf courses. We played the Roman Road the first day and didn't feel particular welcomed on arrival or at the driving range and the course was in poor condition overall. Yes I know its February and the fairways arent going to be great, but the greens were appallingly slow and inconsistent. The air compressors didn't work outside the changing rooms either.

Overall 4 out of 10.

Fear not we thought, we're playing the hallowed 2010 tomorrow.....

A great night was had by all in the evening at Coldra Court and couldn't fault it. 10 out of 10.

As for the 2010, maybe my expectations were too high.

Again a poor welcome when entering the club house. We had to find our own way around.

The course itself, general unkempt (yes I know its February) but still looks like a lack of care being taken. Genuinely awful greens with many looking like moss and ridiculously slow.

Again could be my expectation but it certainly didn't "feel" special or were our group made to "feel" special. Service in the bar was adequate but no more.

Again air compressors not working to clean all of the mud off.

Overall was super excited to both goto and play at the Celtic Manor and was left disappointed.

Thank you so much for your review. It is pleasing to hear your experience at the Coldra Court was positive. I am sorry to hear the golf experience left you feeling disappointed. We experienced high levels of rainfall during the period you played and the team have worked hard to add a number of enhancements to the experience since you last visited.

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

I had the pleasure of playing Twenty Ten in 2022 and I was thoroughly impressed! The course was in fantastic condition, with greens like glass and a real challenge. The setting was beautiful and the club had a great history and quality. Overall, it was a great experience and I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a quality, iconic Ryder Cup course.

This course is an iconic golfing experience that is well maintained and offers a challenging round. The facilities are fantastic and the greens are excellent. The staff are friendly and helpful and the course is busy but not overcrowded. The layout is varied with a tough and challenging course that is in amazing condition. I thoroughly enjoyed my round and would recommend it to anyone looking for a great golf experience.

Up and down

A trip to Wales to play in February must always be treated with some trepidation. Especially when you are a high handicapper and it's your first round of the year! But the sun shone and despite the course being wet we had a great day. The greens were excellent and Mountgomery midweek winter deal of £23 must currently rank as the best value golf experience in the UK. But it's a tough course. Don't expect to come off smiling, especially if you didn't splash out for a buggy. But we all need the exercise and you will sleep well.

Great experience to play this course, challenging very up and down it was very wet, greens I thought were good, and the fairways were very wet. Didn't use a buggy big mistake 7.3 mile total. They have revered 1st and 10th Tees the course so I was off the first but my GPS said it was the 10th
