Clean Friendly Hotel. We stayed in the main hotel in a signature room on level 6, private balcony and large size bathroom. Restaurant and bar on site. Other options are available but involve either a long walk or a shuttle bus service is offered on site to other areas of the resort. Ample parking both undercover and open air both at a cost. (Undercover parking charged at £20 overnight think open air parking was £8.50 but requires a short walk back to the main hotel).

Resort by name and resort in feel, good room sizes, decent bathroom including shower pressure (pet hate) and a quiet nights sleep on the 10th floor. Breakfast had great choice and staff are exceptionally friendly and helpful across the resort. It has everything you need. One note I'd add, is once you've paid YourGolf Travel have nothing to do with you, zero service once you've handed over your money. I had to call Celtic Manor to check a few things prior to arriving with unanswered emails to YourGolf Travel not helping.

What we paid for the two nights and three days playing the three golf courses at celtic manor was a fair price from YourGolfTravel on reflection - But as for the experience the prices at the resort was vastly over priced and the food quality served in the restaurant's was not a reflection of the prices you paid - The bedroom we had was very presentable & clean - But the aircon was next to useless during our stay which made sleep near impossible as the room stayed uncomfortable hot - In all I think the Celtic Manor are relying on the Name linked to the Ryder Cup - but I personally would not recommend or revisit

The only reason I haven't given it a 5 star review is down to the catering. I tried to book a table for 12and was told I had to complete a form online and would hear back in 2/3 days (ridiculous in itself) after three days I called again and was again told I would have to complete another form and it could be another 2/3 days, I am still waiting for a response having now returned!! As a result we had to book outside of the resort. The catering at the half way houses were also atrocious on all three days there was no hot food, just crisps, which for a resort of this standing is very poor.

The hotel and facilities are great but I was disappointed with the lack of contact and information prior to our visit. Fortunately we were there early but were not made aware that we effectively had to be there an hour early for our bags to be taken to the 2010 course and that we would have to be driven down to the first tee. I had no contact from Your Golf Travel once payment had been made and feel that some notes on the faculties, which are vast and not easy to navigate, would have been very helpful

Greens superb on both courses. Montgomery was a challenging walk, very hilly but great contours for the course. Roman road took over 5 hours, very slow with group 3 ahead of our tee time, needed Marshall to move them on, but did not happen. Greens on both courses were excellent.

After playing the 2010 course on Wednesday, we decided as it was our first night at Celtic Manor, we all decided to eat in a restaurant on site, but after booking for 13 people, the restaurant decided that they could only house 5 people from our group, so after some delegation with the group, we decided not to eat on site and decided to go to the Beefeater down the road, but with the time of night when we were told (it was around 21:45) that all 13 could not be accommodated for, we scrambled to get some people to the other place for food, but this was too late and half of our group went without dinner which put most of us in a bit of a bad place. After we all met up with some of us still without food, we decided to see the night in at the bar, but the bartenders saw us as a large group and decided to put all our drinks on 1 tab when we specifically told them that we are all going to pay separate, so when it came to the end of the night, the bill was just around £200 for only a handful of drinks, as it then came to light that they had double charged us for half of our drinks as we asked them to split the final bill between some of the group. We were reluctant to pay this as we spoke to one of the managers that was behind the bar that night, but nothing was done and they decided to walk away without the issue at hand being resolved so some of us are still out of pocket.

We ate twice in the hotel restaurants; the Grill at the Clubhouse had a warm ambience and the food was excellent; we were not so taken with the Olive Tree and it was the wrong choice for us as a group of 4 golfers is not looking to be surrounded by large numbers of young children. The reception and concierge staff were very helpful and responded swiftly to our requests for fresh towels (COVID having prevented room refresh), shuttles, taxis etc. The bars were cheery and fresh and prices reasonable for a 5 star establishment.

Played the Roman Rd and the Montgomery which I enjoyed, with the exception of members bombarding us with golf balls whilst on the green. Nothing was done to resolve the problem. The service in the hotel was far short of the 5 star supposed rating- I wrote a detailed complaint about the hotel which included the golfing incident and the overcharging at final billing, none of which were resolved by Celtic Manor. I would recommend anyone to go and play the courses as they and the green keeping staff were excellent and many of the peripheral staff also. Do not however, be fooled by the Hotel 5 star rating as it fell exceedingly short of that rating. It would have been wonderful if Celtic Manor had offered some reparation for the substandard service experienced during my stay that unfortunately destroyed what would have been a very enjoyable golfing break had it not been for the aforementioned unfortunate issues.

I've been here a few times with large groups, couples and corporates, each time I visit The Celtic Manor I'm always impressed by the service and quality of product. The Roman Road and Montgomerie are decent courses in their own right and well worth a round, especially if you have a mix of handicaps in your group. Off the back tees they are a real challenge and you have to play well to get 36 points. The Twenty Ten experience is as they bill it, an experience. You are made to feel very special as you make your way into the grand clubhouse and get yourself ready to take on the course. The lockers have the Ryder Cup players from 2010 on them so you can have the likes of Rory, Tiger etc as past users of it. The course itself is a real championship layout with a mix of length and strategy needed to get your way round it. Off the tee it is quite demanding with long tee shots needed to make headway on holes like 2, 4 and 8. The closing stretch of 15, 16, 17 and 18 are as fun a 4 holes as you'll get to finish your round. Have a go at 15 to drive it in 1, do a McDowell on 16 and hole a putt for birdie, duff a chip like Mahan on 17 and err hit in the water on 18 like me. Hotel is nice, bars are good (Merlins or the Cellar Bar at the Manor House) and there are plenty of different restaurants to suit whatever your group wants. All in all, Celtic Manor is hard to beat in terms of a UK golf break. My Caddy Tip - "Keep it in play on all the courses, on the fairway is a lot better than being in the rough!"

Played Montgomerie and Roman Road courses with this year being our 4th consecutive year and the quality of the courses was better than ever. Have played the 2010 course twice already and whilst more expensive it is worth trying at least once for a great experience on a very tough course. The 2 we played are still a real test of skill, especially the greens which were lightening quick and if you're in the rough it would usually mean a lost ball, even when quite close to the fairways. The views on the course are fantastic and at this time of year it was fairly quiet so plenty of time to enjoy the round and not feel rushed by following groups. The resort hotel is excellent, although drinks and food expensive - but it is a 5 star hotel. If open, try the cellar bar where they have happy hour sometimes and a decent value menu - sports screens all around, a pool table and darts board. Unfortunately when we went the french rugby team had secured the venue and other parts of the hotel for their own private use. This was not advised to us at the time of booking and was a great disappointment. The hotel staff were clearly embarrassed and apologised profusely, and it was obvious they were fed up with having to apologise over and over again to every visitor to this bar and restaurant.

Really enjoyed all three golf courses. However the service and the staff were poor. 1. Extremely slow play (they had 250 people on the Roman Road at one time, it took over 6 hours to get round despite the continuous warnings about slow play) 2. Lost golf towel while our clubs were in their care and they did not seem the care and only replaced it after 2 days and a long conversation with the manager. 3. Due to the golf round taking longer than expected we missed our dinner reservation and was told we could only eat at the bar as they were serving food until 9 pm. When we got to the bar at 8:15 pm we were told that they could not serve us any food and we had to order room service. This was not acceptable. 4. Despite booking and having been confirmed as a twin room we were given a double which had to be changed.  5. We were told check-in was at 12 am and 2 pm and when we got there they told us we would have to wait until 5 pm. 6. We had booked a buggy for all rounds of golf. We were told they would cost £32 when we booked these over the phone. However, we paid different prices each day. £30 the first, £34 the second and £36 the third. Inconsistent. they did not seem the care and only replaced it after 2 days and a long conversation with the manager. Stableford Score - 34 points Handicap - 18

Great Hotel (the main Celtic Manor Hotel).

I suggested to the pro shop that they should at least ask people of similar handicaps to play together, but the two people had no idea at all. We felt we were holding the whole course up.

Buggies must keep the paths, so if your ball is on the other side of the fairway, take two or more clubs when you walk to it.

We've played both the Montgomerie and the Roman courses. Personally I prefer the Montgomerie because there are some very scenic holes, a handful with spectacular views. However I'd advise anyone playing the Montgomerie, at least to take a trolley and better still to take a buggy. Some of the green to tee walks are very hilly. Overall Celtic Manor is a wonderful golf venue and the best testament to this is that my golf group, who usually never return to the same courses for our annual trip, have now been back to Celtic Manor for three successive years, and planning a fourth in 2016.

Every interaction with the staff at Celtic Manor was abysmal. They really don't care about the customers. The Montgomerie course is terrible- an amalgamation of an old course and a par three course- with walks between green and tee like you wouldn't believe. The pace of play on the Roman Road was so slow that we walked off after 9 holes. No one should go here. Ever. Stableford Score - 36 points Handicap - 10

The hotel (5* resort), the 3 courses, the price, the service- everything was amazing. Loved the Montgomery and the TwentyTen course was phenomenal. I've been to the likes of the Belfry and Woodhall and they pale into insignificance. Bit gutted it's so far away for me because I'd love to go back. Went with my step father, mother and my wife, we loved the golf, the ladies loved the venue and despite the food and drinks being very steep it was well worth it. I want to go back so bad.....if you can't decide on your next venue, please please please go here, and play all 3 courses, oh and take a 60 degree wedge for the Twenty Ten bunkers...

I played the Montgomerie on the 1st day followed by the 2010 on the 2nd. Both courses were fantastic to play, and although there were some holes beyond a mid-handicaps capabilities, it was fantastic fun trying them.

The Roman Road and Montgomerie Courses are good, solid resort courses and while they didn't blow my socks off, playing them on such an affordable stay & play deal is well worth the money. The Twenty Ten Course is definitely the highlight of any trip to Celtic Manor so even with the added cost in mind, I'd recommend golfers give it a go at least once. The whole "member for a day" experience is built into the cost and makes your day a lot of fun. My Caddy Tip - "Please book a buggy for us to use.

2010 is a great championship course. The other two are great parkland-type courses with a few spectacular holes. The resort is fantastic for a golf holiday- three courses in one venue and ample practice facilities. Easy to get around with the set up at the hotel and some excellent restaurants. I played Roman Road and Montgomerie on my first visit and wished I had included the 2010. 2nd time I played the Montgomerie and 2010. It's definitely worth playing if you're a <15 handicap.

You are treated as an important guest from the very first moment you turn up. Clubs taken and cleaned, car parked for you, all facilities shown and explained.

Nice hotel and nice meal. Courses a challenge and in excellent condition. Would've liked to see more water hazards (Montgomerie & Roman Road) and some can feel a bit samey. Service was exemplary. Rather annoying having to rigidly stick to paths in buggies. However, I guess this helps to keep fairways in good nick. Though sometimes, if your unsure, you have to trudge over to the other side of fairway holding four clubs to get your ball. Stableford Score - 28 or less points Handicap - 17

We had a fantastic time at Celtic Manor and couldn't fault any part of the trip. The organisation and ease of booking offered through yourgolftravel means we will definitely use you guys again! The golf courses were very wet following the recent rain but were still in good condition and certainly very playable. The Twenty Ten experience is one that we will remember for a long time. The tour of the clubhouse and Ryder Cup team rooms was a nice touch as were the free range balls and club cleaning after the round. Nothing was too much trouble for the staff who were always on hand to help. The hotel is truly 5 stars too; a real touch of luxury and I might even be forced to take the wife next time!  Overall the trip provided good value for money but be prepared to pay out for food and drink as it's not cheap anywhere within the resort. If you want a few drinks take advantage of happy hour at the Cellar Bar (17:30 to 19:00)!

We played the Montgomerie and the Twenty Ten on our golf break to Celtic Manor and both courses have a fabulous layout and were in great nick. The 3rd hole Par 5 on the Montgomerie is one of the most beautiful holes I have ever played. Superbly framed by tall trees either side off the tee, then as you get down the hill you get the views of the valley and of the Twenty Ten Course; simply breathtaking. The Twenty Ten is also brilliant. The holes with water are just visually amazing and also a great, tough test of golf. The greens were extremely receptive yet still nice and quick to putt on. Very welcoming in the Lodge after the Montgomerie and the 2010 clubhouse is superb too. We loved the Ryder Cup changing rooms! We stayed in the Manor House and the rooms were top drawer, with great service and an excellent buffet dinner in the Olive restaurant; so much choice and all delicious. Overall: 9.5/10...Celtic Manor is right up there with The Grove; absolutely top class. YGT were brilliant and our golf break was a bargain. We will definitely be using you guys again.

Having visited the Celtic manor through Your Golf Travel last year, we knew we were in for a treat and were very much looking forward to it. Arriving at the hotel after a 2hr 30min journey from Central London was great. In my opinion it's everything a hotel should be; welcoming, warm and replete with amenities, serving great food and with comfortable accommodation! We settled into a lovely meal in one of their great restaurants and then got an early night ready for golf the next day. The Twenty Ten course; WHAT AN EXPERIENCE! The whole day is geared around your enjoyment and it's what I imagine a professional golfer feels like week in week out. Clubs are collected upon arrival and delivered to the first tee or driving range. The you’re shown to your locker and given a little talk about the Ryder Cup history and the team rooms...five star! We were both lucky enough to be striking the ball very well however the scoring was a little more sporadic which points to the challenge of the course. It's a course that is so rewarding when you get a string of pars but will instantly punish you for bad play and you may lose a few shots on one hole if you get out of position. All in all it was a great experience once again. I have booked three trips through your golf travel and each one has provided me with a great memory including a 15 man stag do to Portugal. I will always book my golf trips through yourselves and recommend you to all my golfing pals!

The Twenty Ten Course at Celtic Manor was brilliant. It was in excellent condition for the time of year that we played it and very tough off the white tees at around 7,000 yards! It’s probably a good idea to consider which tees you play from carefully but the overall Twenty Ten experience is certainly recommended.   The Roman Road course was also excellent. The greens were a little on the slow side but very true and overall layout was great! Both clubhouses had very welcoming atmospheres and the service was excellent. Food and drink weren’t too pricey either so we were very pleased. The hotel was brilliant with lovely guestrooms. We’d happily stay here again ! Overall I would give the trip a 10/10 everything was as I expected and didn't disappoint. The YGT service was great too and very helpful so thanks once again.
