Absolutely shocking. Courses should never be open, completely flooded. By far the worst condition courses in the country. No email to warn you of the conditions. Instead they allow you to drive there from Kent to find out they are offering an adverse weather procedure. Why would I want credit after driving 3hrs to play what is supposedly a championship course. Course was more like a flooded farm

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.

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

Mud bath

Course should be closed. Dangerous out there. Walking from your buggy to go and find your ball on the fairways was a complete mud bath...then trolleys going down the fairways have completely ruined what is a great challenging course.
Just need closure for a while..but they want your money and then sting you £55 for a buggy!

Very poor condition, green were terrible, even for the time of year for a course of this calibre.


Course was drenched, like a bog, balls lost embedded in fairways.

Total waste of money.

Unplayable!

Had been looking forward to a weekend of golf at Celtic Manor for a while. Having driven 3 hours to get there, we were expecting the course to be in okay condition having had no prior warning of poor conditions on arrival we were informed of the adverse weather policy- however, as the course was still open we expected it to be playable and maybe slightly boggy. How wrong were we. The 2010 course was a mud bath. Between the 4 of us we lost about 12 balls in the fairway through 18. Couldn’t distinguish fairways from rough and the grass in the greens was long. For a championship course it was embarrassing. Why couldn’t they inform us before we travelled? As if we were going to drive all th way home again and come back another time! Just shows the resort to be money grabbing and taking little care in the player experience. Extremely disappointed to put it kindly. Same issues followed the next day on the Montgomerie. Absolute joke. Get better conditions at our local pitch and putt.

There was no fairways it was like playing in a cow field, tee boxes and greens were just about playable.
Obviously the amount of rain has not helped but the course should was pretty much unplayable.

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

Dear Iain,

Thank you for taking the time to provide your feedback.

I am sorry to hear you found the golf course playing conditions very wet. We have experienced exceptionally high levels of rainfall in October which has resulted in more challenging playing conditions.

It is pleasing to hear you enjoyed the greens do hope your recent experience has not deterred you from returning in the future.

We would look forward to welcoming you back in the Spring / Summer.

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.

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.

Don't bother until weather improves

Whole setup is a farce.

Course is massively under water. Is playable but only by causing loads of damage to it. Tee boxes and greens are fine, but the fairways were plugging every other ball, often to the point of not finding it, and it made it almost impossible to play at times as well as making the round a long one.

We soldiered on having driven 130 miles to play. Could have told us that it was like this (apparently been so since September) as we only booked a month before. Instead waited for us to arrive, took our cash, no refunds available only vouchers that don't cover the cost of the round if you wanted to go back.

£4.10 for a coffee in the clubhouse is outrageous and although the staff were lovely, they could also tell that they were basically getting by on other's goodwill not to kick off.

Twenty ten course design is good but some bland holes, and the location basically means any winter play unlikely. If it did not have a Ryder Cup history you would not say it was a special course.

Would have appreciated the call to let us know, and the fact we were then captive in the resort just added to the frustration. Cancelled next day and went and played Bowood instead on the way home. Better condition and a decent course. Will probably not use my £45 vouchers for the round we missed as it doesn't even cover the cost of another round.

Joke of a place that will soon be under financially not just water if it does not treat guests with more respect.
