Celtic Manor Golf Club - The speed with which Celtic Manor has impressed itself on the world golfing scene is little short of miraculous. Less than seven years after it was founded in 1995, it was selected as the host course for the 2010 Ryder Cup. Already one of the leading golf complexes in Europe, Celtic's three unique courses are supported by a £10 million clubhouse and floodlit golf academy plus a 400 bed Five Star hotel and health spa. All three courses were designed by the Robert Trent Jones family. Robert senior built courses in 600 locations around the world before celebrating his Welsh heritage by getting to work on the land of his father. He designed the Roman Road and Coldra Woods courses before Robert junior carved the massive and challenging Wentwood Hills from the steep slopes overlooking the Usk valley.

Home of the £1.1 million Wales Open event on the European Tour since 2000, the course provides a spectacular golfing experience with a tough uphill finish that taxes the best players. It will be adapted to create a purpose-built Ryder Cup course with excellent spectator facilities in time for 2010. Wentwood Hills is certainly a spectacular championship par 72 course that combines hilly landscape and links-like features.
