Celtic Manor, Twenty Ten Course

Having been built for the 2010 showdown between Europe and America, the former were led by Colin Montgomerie, who already felt at home at Celtic Manor. The aptly named Twenty Ten course didn’t disappoint and it was on the 18th green where Graeme McDowell secured a home victory.

For those looking to test themselves on the same course as greats of the game, remember that after going two down with two pars, Tiger Woods then birdied 10 of his next 12 holes to take the win on the 15th.

Champion Course at PGA National

Originally designed by Tom Fazio, the course has been more recently reworked by golf’s most celebrated player - Jack Nicklaus. Featuring some of the most daunting closing holes on the PGA Tour, the so called ‘Bear Trap’ has ruined the round of the many of the game’s greats.

PGA National like it’s refurbisher, is one of the most acclaimed courses in the States having hosted both the Ryder Cup and the PGA Championship - to this day it also hosts the annual Honda Classic which in recent years has been won by Justin Thomas, Rickie Fowler and Adam Scott.

The K Club (Palmer North Course)

Arnold Palmer succeeded in working with the existing mature trees and water features to create a magnificent test for golfers of all standards.
