The Celtic Manor golf complex provides three premier courses each of which are of the highest quality, all designed by the highly influential Robert Trent Jones family. The latest of the three courses is the mouth watering Wentwood Hills, which has been awarded the 2010 Ryder Cup between Europe and the USA. The re-named Ryder Cup Course course is undergoing reconstruction work from September 2005 in readiness for the 2010 Ryder Cup, but the other two courses here and the magnificent Royal Pothcawl Championship links courses are more than enough reason to visit.

|
 |

The new Ryder Cup Course, replacing Wentwood Hills,will be opening next June, in time to host The 2007 Celtic Manor Wales Open. The course has been designed to start and finish in the valley, with the hillsides providing a panoramic amphitheatre from which to view the entire course – and there will be ample space for up to 50,000 spectators to follow each match, with the redesigned course having only one spectator crossing.
The finished 7,459 yard, par 71 course will present players with a challenge of 70 bunkers and four lakes, and will feature six signature holes.

Celtic Manor Roman Road course
|
 |
|
Roman Road, the first of the Resort’s courses, opened in 1995 and was ranked ‘the top inland course in Wales’ by Golf Monthly Magazine. Overlooking the Severn Estuary with views across to Somerset and Devon, it was designed by Robert Trent Jones Snr and is named after the many Roman roads that criss-cross it, the design shaped to avoid disrupting any remains.

It is nothing but a great shame that Royal Porthcawl does not have the infrastructure required to host an Open Championship. Indeed, the closest it has ever come to staging a world-renowned event was when it hosted the Walker Cup in 1995. Then, the American team, which had Tiger Woods as its main weapon, were blown away, quite literally, by the course.
