Resort Overview
Celtic Manor features four courses, including the Twenty Ten course, which was built specifically to host the 2010 Ryder Cup. The resort also features two other 18-hole courses, one built by Colin Montgomerie and one by Robert Trent Jones Sr. Celtic Manor was also host to the Wales Open from 2000 to 2014. That’s also in addition to a nine-hole municipal course and a nine-hole par-3 course. However, a golf-only retreat this is not, with plenty of other activities to chose from, including a ropes course, mini-golf and racket course. The resort was also host to the 2014 NATO Summit.
