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.

Again buggy restrictions meant that I was unable to play a few holes. They did try and give me a more adaptive buggy but it was still too restrictive

Slow round 5.5 hours - you would think buggies would help but they are restricted to the road so if anything this slows the play. Long walks between holes - 10th 12th and 13th

Nice course all be it a little on the short side. There is no excuse for 5hr+ round. There are too many non golfers on the course and absolutely no marshals. They will take money off anyone to play the course with the golfing experience coming a very distant second. Won’t be going back.

Won’t be coming again as way too much up and down. Tees and bunkers are in bad nick - a shame

Seems like a course squeezed into small patches of ground. Lots of blind drives and dog-legs across big slopes or up hill and down. Not a course for me but nevertheless quality was good. Must have a buggy due slopes on holes and long drives between tees. The fact buggies aren't allowed off the paths means a very frustrating and annoying experience when conditions allowed. Not a course I would play again without allowing buggies off the path.

Green keeper on a par 3 was driving twice in front of us

Good course but as buggies have to stay on the path, taking a selection of clubs to each shot (as the yardage cant be measured accurately) became a bit tedious. That said, this is a buggy course as very hilly. Some of the views are really exceptional. Bunkers are very difficult as sand is quite packed and clay like.

The Monty course was amazing a lot different to the Roman Road . It took 5 Hrs 18 mins to play so come the end we had enough. I did enjoy the views across the 2010 course it looked beautiful.
