The Course

About the Celtic Manor Resort

Host venue for The Ryder Cup in 2010, the five-star Celtic Manor Resort is set in more than 1,400 acres of panoramic parkland at the gateway to Wales.

With two hotels—a 330-room luxury Resort Hotel and an historic 19th century Manor House with 70 rooms—two exceptional spas, two state-of-the-art health clubs, a shooting school, fishing, tennis courts, mountain biking, walking trails and five outstanding restaurants, The Celtic Manor Resort provides a complete experience for business, leisure and golf travelers.

In 2005 and 2007 the Resort was voted the UK's Number One Conference Hotel by readers of Conference & Incentive Travel Magazine.

The Resort is the home of The Celtic Manor Wales Open, one of the premier events on The European Tour, and offers the challenge of three 18-hole championship golf courses, including the new Twenty Ten course, the first course in history to be designed and built specifically to host The Ryder Cup.

Twenty Ten Course

The new course, which opened for the first time in July 2007, is a par 71 measuring 7,493 yards. It features nine spectacular new holes that have been developed along the floor of the Usk Valley, as well as nine holes from the former Wentwood Hills Championship Course that have been extensively remodelled. The course’s signature hole is the par four 14th, which brings classic risk and reward dilemmas with lakes on both sides of the fairway, but there are several other holes, which can be considered to be equally memorable.
