One of the few golf resorts in the UK with three championship courses on one site, Celtic Manor is a brilliant option if you want variety, facilities and a course with serious pedigree. The Ryder Cup in 2010 catapulted The Twenty Ten into the spotlight and it's still the headline round, but don't treat Roman Road and Montgomerie as warm-ups. Both are strong, well-presented tests that make a multi-night break feel properly worthwhile.
Just outside Newport and surrounded by the rolling Welsh hills, it's easy to reach from most parts of the UK. If you want to keep the budget sensible without losing the resort feel, the Manor House is a great base. You get the charm of a 19th-century building and you're still only a short walk from the wider resort's restaurants, bars and facilities. It also has its own spots for a post-round pint, with the Cellar Bar a popular shout for groups.
Celtic Manor also caters well for different styles of trip. If the Manor House isn't quite right, you can look at the Resort Hotel, Coldra Court or The Hunter Lodges.
Who is this for?
Golfers who want to play a Ryder Cup venue and experience a proper resort setting without paying top-tier prices, groups looking for quality golf and lively après-golf options, and anyone keen to tick off The Twenty Ten while exploring two other strong championship layouts.
Who is it best for?
Mid to low handicappers after a proper test across three different courses. It's also ideal for societies and groups who want strong facilities and a lively bar, plus golfers who like a venue with a bit of history behind it.

As the first course to be purpose built for the Ryder Cup, the Twenty Ten was under some pressure when the world’s best players arrived to do battle in late 2010 but with great variety and countless risk vs. reward holes throughout the course, it certainly lived up to its billing and is now seen as one of the best and most entertaining courses in the UK. With Ryder Cup mementos at every turn and a ‘member for the day’ experience that includes a personalised bag tag and post-round club cleaning, a day at the Twenty Ten at Celtic Manor is a really fun experience and a must for any golfing aficionado.
Designed by Robert Trent Jones Senior, the Roman Road Course was the first built at Celtic Manor and has been thrilling visiting golfers since opening for play in 1995. From the tips the Roman Road Course stretches to about 6,600 yards which is enough to test even the most experienced golfers and with forward tees that bring the yardage to a more manageable 6,000 yards, the higher handicapped golfer can also enjoy the challenge. The course is American in design with large bunkers and the odd expanse of water providing much of the challenge and with a fantastic variety of holes, some of which take you right past the imposing Resort Hotel, all aspects of your game will be tested.
Colin Montgomerie’s name will of course forever be associated with Celtic Manor following his team’s famous victory at the 2010 Ryder Cup but his association with the resort began long before then when he designed his championship layout that has become one of the best resort courses in the UK. Like the Roman Road, Montgomerie’s course scales its fair share of hills so taking a buggy is advised. With deep, links-inspired bunkers and plenty of elevated tees shots, not to mention the exciting par 5 3rd which drops away in front of your eyes into the Usk Valley, the Montgomerie is a golfing thrill ride from start to finish.
Since the early 1980s, The Manor House at Celtic Manor Resort has been recognised as one of Wales' finest places to stay, winning Egon Ronay's top prize for five consecutive years. The 70 guest rooms and suites retain the character of the 19th-century property itself, set within beautifully manicured gardens that give the place a sense of calm and space.
Inside the Manor, you can choose to drink or dine in The Patio Restaurant, the Cellar Bar or Hedley's, the Manor Bar. The Cellar Bar is particularly popular with groups, a proper sports bar showing live events and offering the kind of atmosphere that keeps the evening going after a long day on the course.
Manor House guests can also use the resort's wider facilities, including the Forum Health Club and Spa, which offers some of the best luxury treatments in Wales. As well as the swimming pool, there are saunas, jacuzzis, plunge pools and steam rooms, whilst the state-of-the-art gym boasts 54 workstations and a dance studio. If you're staying for a couple of nights, it's well worth pencilling in a treatment too, from a hot stone massage to the Rasul Mud Ritual in the Forum Spa, an award-winning facility that attracts guests to the resort in its own right.
The Manor House gives you the intimacy and character of a historic building, the convenience of being on-site at one of the UK's premier golf resorts, and access to facilities that rival any five-star property. It's a smart choice for golfers who want quality without the full resort price tag, and it's particularly well suited to groups who value a lively bar scene and easy access to everything the resort has to offer.

The buildings are dated and not looked after in areas. The service provided to get you from accommodation to the golf course is limited, we nearly missed our tee time because the shuttle bus didn't turn up. The staff tried adding a gratuity charge to our rooms even though we already tipped, this was VERY sneaky and lucky we spotted this, I can imagine many people don't spot this. Everything on resort is overpriced, £8 for a pint and £3.50 for a bottle of water, £2.50 for a snickers! Taking the Mick. I wouldn't recommend Celtic Manor any more and won't go again. On the plus side the courses are good despite all the walking between holes on the Montgomerie

Overall this was a brilliant place to stay and has everything you need, a very large site which can get complicated to find your way around, they also take a deposit from your bank account when you check in. dinner bookings were all a bit messy they had booked me in for a date i wasn't staying and then there was no availability at the place we wanted to eat.

Overall we enjoyed our stay which built up to the last day playing the 2010. Two of us had played the 2010 before and two of the group hadn't so we built up the experience and excitement for them. and all i can say was that it was a huge disappointment on the day for the following reasons - No one greeted us at the door so we had to find someone downstairs in the bar (and there were a few people waiting) they then just walked us to the top of the stairs so we had to the tour of the changing room for our friends no power caddies available - we tried to pre-book the day before and told we couldn't! so ended up carrying We had to then go collect our bags and walk down to the first tee (normally a shuttle) absolutely no one to welcome us at the range or starters hut we had to grab our own score cards etc. and work out when to tee off around the other people waiting around a bit confused After coming back in - we were told the food has stopped serving as the chef had finished early (had to get a McDonalds on the M4!) Overall - massive disappointment and embarrassing after we had built it up to our friends.

If there was a very hard option above I'd have ticked that!! For a 16+ handicapper like myself and partner it was super-challenging. Take plenty of spare balls. We were struck on both courses how poor earlier in the day players had been with bunker raking, divot replacement and pitch repair.

Lovely course, hard but enjoyable and interesting. Condition of course really good especially when used so much. Very slow play, they are maximising the number of people on the course.

What a course, second time we've played there and didn't disappoint. Currently being prepared for the Welsh open and it was playing hard. The wind was off the East making it feel like every hole was into wind. Poor shots are punished and some good shots are punished as well. What a great course. If you are there for a few days and are taking buggies on some but not the other then this is the one to walk. Buggy paths mean guessing at clubs when your ball is over the other side of the fairway. The course is fairly flat so next time I'll walk this one and buggy one of the others
