The Celtic Manor Resort is the realisation of every golfer's dream - 1400 acres of parkland offering novice or scratch players alike an opportunity to enjoy the very finest courses and experience the ultimate in facilities. From the friendly welcome to the drive home, Celtic Manor offers you the ultimate golfing experience. The resort will play host to the 2010 Ryder Cup and is also the venue for the Wales Open on the PGA European Tour for the next 10 years. The Celtic Manor Resort offers three courses to suit any golfers standard.

The Twenty Ten Course: The Twenty Ten course has been designed with The 2010 Ryder Cup and all the thrills and spills of team match play in mind, but it will also provide a fantastic stage for traditional tournament stroke play. With £16 million invested in creating the new course and clubhouse, The Twenty Ten promises to provide an awesome playing test for the tour professionals. Water hazards are significant features on no fewer than half of the holes and classic risk and reward dilemmas are thrown up at the 14th, 15th and 18th holes making for a compelling conclusion.

The Roman Road Course: A championship venue designed by the world famous Robert Trent Jones Snr. A challenging course with long open fairways on the front nine, to a back nine that twists and turns through trees and across lakes and streams. Named after the many Roman roads that criss-cross the course, and designed to avoiding any remains, the Roman Road course at Celtic Manor overlooks the Severn Estuary. Although the course has been a venue for top professional and amateur events, it is ideal for all levels of play. The course offers a variety of tees on each hole with generous fairways and greens.

The Montgomerie: The new Montgomerie course opened in July 2007. Designed by Ryder Cup legend, Colin Montgomerie, the new 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.

The Manor House 4*: Long before the new Resort Hotel was built, the historic 19th century Manor House was recognised to be one of the finest hotels in the United Kingdom. Present owner Sir Terence Matthews acquired The Manor House in 1980, after it had been used for more than 30 years as a maternity hospital, The Lydia Beynon, where he himself was born. The character of this lovely property has been retained and it now provides a total of 70 traditionally styled bedrooms which have recently been refurbished, including three with four-poster beds.
