Classic Golf Destinations

When you think of Classic golf destinations, Newport isn't exactly what comes to mind but all of this is changing. As hosts for the 2010 Ryder Cup and also the Welsh Open, The Celtic Manor has really put Newport on the golfing map and is now one of Europe's top golf destinations. Surrounded by stunning scenery there are 30 other golf resorts in the Newport area so you can discover some of the finest golf conditions in the UK. Offering some of the UK's premium golf facilities the Celtic Manor Resort includes 3 main courses, Roman Road, the 2010 Course and the Montgomerie.

Roman Road - Ranked as "The top inland course in Wales" by Golf Monthly Magazine. Opened in 1995 the course is the host venue for the All Star Cup which has included celebrities like Catherine Zeta Jones, Ronan Keating, Chris Evans, Bruce Forsyth and many more.

Twenty Ten Course - Made specifically for the 2010 Ryder Cup, the course was available to play on from July 2007 and is the first course specifically made for golf's finest team tournament. 7,493 yards in length, par for the course is 71.

Montgomerie - Unsurprisingly the course was designed by 8 times European number one Colin Montgomerie. 6,371 yards long with a par of 69. The Ryder Cup star has added deep pot bunkers so that the course has a linksy look.

An outstanding golf academy is also available as well as a practice range, teaching bay, golf shop and two deluxe clubhouses with restaurant, spa, bar and health club.
