Twenty Ten Course at Celtic Manor

Joining the list of courses to have hosted The Ryder Cup was a new dawn for Welsh golf and the addition of The Twenty Ten Course launched Celtic Manor into the world’s golfing elite. That the course held up so strongly to the almighty deluge during Ryder Cup week is testament to the quality of its design and construction. Visit now, and you will be welcome to manicured fairways and lightning fast greens that mark The Twenty Ten as a genuine tournament standard experience.

And the experience is as much part of The Twenty Ten as the course itself; meet and greet service, shoe cleaning and access to the Ryder Cup locker rooms will ensure you have a day to remember. Just a few moments from The Twenty Ten Clubhouse is a purpose driving range that allows you to be loose and limber come the first tee, just a part of one of the most luxurious golf resort experiences in the country.

2020 saw the European Tour return to Celtic Manor and the Twenty Ten course for the Celtic Classic. Sam Horsfield claimed the title of the inaugural event with a final bogey free round of 67, two clear of Thomas Detry. The win was Horsfield's second in the UK Swing series of events having won the Hero Open at the Forest of Arden a few weeks earlier.

The Twenty Ten Course at Celtic Manor is ranked as one of the best courses in Wales

Signature hole - No. 14:  Par 4, 413 yards, SI 2

This tricky par 4 sums up the Twenty Ten's lake-lined challenge, with two separate bodies of water to negotiate. Players have to choose between either a bold carry with the tee shot or else the approach. Most opt for an iron off the tee to avoid a watery fate to the left; while those brave enough to fly the lake can leave themselves a short, straightforward pitch.
