The 2010 Course
I played the 2010 Ryder Cup course for the ISPSHanda sponsors day, as i'm a disabled golfer. The course is amazing. The greens are fast, just like putting on glass, and the fairways are like the greens at my local club, there is a lot of water there, so take care. Considering all the bad weather Wales have had, the green keepers have done really well. The clubhouse as you can imagine is posh and the locker rooms are fab, even have the Ryder cup players names still on them. This is the best course i have ever played on, if you can afford it then you have to go for it.

Fantastic course
a parkland course very hilly and some long walks between holes unless you are super fit take a buggy, that said it was a great experience to play such a course both fairways and greens were perfect deep deep bunkers around some of the greens so unless you bunker play is good steer, clear

The Montgomerie......
Having played the Roman Road Course the day before and been disappointed this was much more what I was expecting from Celtic Manor! The first two holes are fairly benign but then you hit the 3rd - what a hole! Following your drive, you will be faced with a 100ft drop through pines trees to the green and when you get there you have a fantastic view of The 2010 course. The next few holes are a great test of accuracy and skill and the course continues to impress. Despite being very up and down (you'll feel it the next day) and wet for 15 out of 18 holes I still enjoyed playing this course and would recommend visiting for the veiws alone. All in all, a great course and one I would like to play again in better weather!

Roman Road.......
I guess I should start by saying that Celtic Manor is without doubt a fantastic complex but despite this, I cant say I was overly impressed by the Roman Road course! The course was extremely wet on the day we played but given the amount of cash that must be available to the greens keepers I was very disappointed this had not been addressed...on top of this, there was only one hole that particularly stood out - the 10th. Accommodation was very good (we stayed at The Manor) and all the staff were friendly but watch out for bar and food prices. If youre on a budget theres a great curry house close by called Taraka that did us proud! As for a return visit...hmmmm...I cant say I would rush back!

ROMAN ROAD - UP & DOWN!
Played the Roman Road course for the second time yesterday. For a modern track it is very challenging as one might expect from a course that has hosted PGA Tour events. Most of the holes have some interest, whether it be change in elevation, change in direction, plentiful bunkering, undulating green, or a combination of these features. It is quite a tough walk uphill and downdale and there are some long distances from green to next tee. Fairways and greens were in excellent condition but the tees were surprisingly bare and scrappy. We paid £17.50 on a 241 deal which was excellent value.
