About Celtic Manor Resort Holiday Apartment

The Celtic Manor is at the forefront of the recent rise to prominence of Welsh golf. The resort's reputation will continue to rise with the opening of the Ryder Cup Coursewhich will stage the matches in 2010catapulting the Celtic Manor onto the world stage.

The Roman Road was the resort's firstopened in 1995and was then ranked as Wales' best inland layout. Since thenintensive investment has drastically improved the drainageensuring that the course can handle the demands of resort golf. Robert Trent Jones had to build around the many ancient Roman roads that traverse the landand his work was so good that it played host to the Welsh Open in 2005 and 2006.

The recently opened Montgomerie Course has been built using the land that formerly hosted the Coldra academy courseand Monty has used some of the original holes from the former Wentwood Hills Coursewhich played host to the Welsh Open from 2000 to 2004. The hilly layout will be a challenge for the best ball-strikersand is a welcome addition to the Celtic Manor's golfing repertoire.

The impending Ryder Cup Course has been built at the bottom of the valleyand as a result the surrounding hills serve as natural amphitheatres; the atmosphere at the 2010 matches promises to be scintillating. Early predictions estimate that 50 000 people will follow each encounter when the Europeans and Americans lock horns around the 7 469-yard stadium course. Early visitors will have a chance to experience a slice of Ryder Cup action when the course opens in late 2007.
