With dramatic tee shots soaring majestically over lush valleys and exhilarating downhill approaches that test even the most skilled golfers, course designer Colin Montgomerie has masterfully infused his extensive Ryder Cup expertise into the creation of this remarkable golf course. Each hole presents a unique and strategic challenge, compelling players to think critically about their shots and navigate the course with precision.
Montgomerie has also drawn inspiration from his rich Scottish links golf heritage, imbuing the course with a classic ambiance that pays homage to the traditional elements of the game. This is beautifully highlighted by the presence of deep pot bunkers that guard the fairways and greens, as well as the intricately designed greenside swales that add an extra layer of complexity to approach shots. The entire layout is set against the breathtaking backdrop of the Usk Valley and the Severn Estuary, creating a stunning visual experience that enhances the overall enjoyment of the game.
Given the significant elevation changes throughout the course a buggy is highly recommended to make your round more comfortable and enjoyable. The undulating terrain can be quite challenging, and a buggy will allow you to focus on your game rather than the physical demands of walking the fairways of this Celtic Manor gem.

Celtic Manor’s connection with Colin Montgomerie began long before he led his European starlets to Ryder Cup victory in 2010; in fact, he puts his name to a championship layout that’s up there with the best UK resort golf courses. Like the Roman Road, there are a few hills to negotiate but the rewards include splendid views around the resort.
The Montgomerie Course has a championship heritage with many holes being part of The Wentwood Hills Golf Course which hosted The European Tour's Wales Open between 2000 and 2004 with the remaining holes remodelled and redesigned from the Coldra Woods Golf Course. The golf course as it stands today is an excellent test with stunning undulations and views and has hosted The EuroPro Tour in 2015 as a standalone Championship venue which was won by Gary King with a 3-round -9 total.
Signature hole - No. 3: Par 5, 609 yards, SI 5
This spectacular par 5 featured in our list of "Five holes you must play" and is arguably the best on the entire resort. Despite measuring a hefty 609 yards from the tips, the second half of the tree-lined hole plunges steeply downhill, making the green an inviting target to reach in two shots. Magnificent vistas over the Usk Valley and Ryder Cup Twenty Ten course make the hole as scenically dramatic as it is challenging.

A lot of carrying clubs from the buggy

In very poor condition. The bunkers were poor - many GUR and most of those that were not should have been. No marshals 5.5 hour round

Lovely course, but very hilly and long walks between Green to tee

Great course, felt like the standard was high (even after playing the 2010). Some distance between holes and lots of elevation changes so a buggy is recommended. Think this course is better value for money than the 2010 for the average golfer and round took just under 4.5 hours.

Great course, but for the more senior players very disappointed that buggy’s were not allowed on fairways, charged £55 and it made the course a lot harder to walk around
