Courses

Celtic Manor’s 2010 Course, this week’s host of the Wales Open, was created especially for the 2010 Ryder Cup.

Celtic Manor’s Twenty Ten course, this week’s host of the ISPS Handa Wales Open, was especially built to stage the 2010 Ryder Cup

And it was well received by the professionals who played on it in the 2010 Wales Open and in the Ryder Cup that followed – though some of the British golfers felt that it was a lot more ‘American’ than some other top-flight British courses.

On a year-to-year basis, however, it has served to enhance the quality of golf offered at one of the finest golfing facilities in the UK.

These now include The Twenty Ten, the Roman Road, and The Montgomerie Courses.

There is also a world-class golf academy featuring a floodlit driving range, short game and putting practice facilities, an outstanding pro shop and two luxurious golf clubhouses – The Twenty Ten Clubhouse and The Lodge with its own bar, restaurant, health club and spa.

THE TWENTY TEN COURSE
Built specifically to stage The Ryder Cup in 2010, it opened for play in July 2007.

The first course to be built specifically for golf’s greatest team event, it measures a robust 7,493 yards off the back tees and has a par of 71.

With water hazards on half of its holes, the course has six signature holes and presents many more memorable tests and risk-and-reward dilemmas.

One of the features of this spectacular new lay-out is its variety with many of the earlier holes having a links-like feel with some long rough and greenside swales, before the middle section of the course reveals the full extent of the lake-lined challenge.

A tough finishing stretch culminates in a real sting in the tail at the 18th.
