I T system down. Had 45 minutes wait before we had access to the room which had been recently refurbished although surprisingly had no drawers and inadequate room for clothing other than hanging room. We therefore used our case! Should not have to do that. Walls were thin and obvious noise levels intruded, of an amorous nature, into the night! We prepaid for our evening meals through you only to be told they had not received the money. I provided documentation as proof but 3 times we were challenged and even then the final bill included one meal for two at £77. Crazy. Eventually they got it right.

Millionaires golf

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.

Enjoyed the 2 courses I played

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.

Montgomerie course was unplayable and marshals admitted this. Despite only being a 3 ball we were behind a junior 4 ball so the round took over 5 hours and wasn't marshaled at all. We werent allowed to upgrade to an empty 2010 course either. Roman road was a very basic course but still a challenge.

Something for everyone

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.

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.

Hotel and staff were exceptional, food and service outstanding. We played on all three courses, the marquee course being 2010. However, all three are fantastic courses and I personally found the Roman Road to be the most challenging. The Montgomerie and Roman Road start from the main club house, views on the Montgomerie are fantastic though the course involves a lot of very steep hills. The Roman Road is a lovely course and the holes offer much variety but everyone wants the 2010, which surprisingly for the shorter hitting and higher handicaps proved very forgiving.

Great venue

The hotel was very comfortable and plenty of restaurants serving good food at them all. It's better to play the same course twice, as one needs to get the correct line from the tee. It's easy to take the line that appears right, but then find you're blocked out to the green. 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. The last 4 holes are particularly tough and if you can manage them in 2 over par, you'll have a good score.

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.

I have been to Celtic Manor three times in small groups and think it is the best value for money resort. The staff go above the expected standard of service, the rooms are more than comfortable and the hotel is very restful. All 3 courses are challenging to the average golfer but I would not recommend a buggy. More trouble than worth as you have to stick to the paths and end up walking further. The hills on the Monty are very challenging for the not so fit. Going back next week.

It's simply 'The Manor'

Celtic Manor provides all you could want in a golfing venue. Stay at the resort if you can, rather than the older, but still very nice Manor. The Manor was once a maternity home and is steeped in local history so you'll still love the experience. The 2010 experience is fantastic; the course may not be the most beautiful you'll ever play, but remember who did what and where and you'll have a thrilling time. The other courses are very good; have a buggy for Roman Road. Many GPS devices are wrong on all 3 courses. Take a laser if you have one and buy a course guide.

Although the Welsh weather was not kind to us, we still had a great time at the resort. It offers great value when compared to other venues around the UK that have hosted big events. For anyone who went to the 2010 Ryder Cup, playing the 2010 course is a must. It's amazing how many shots you remember seeing and how few you are able to recreate (other than the Mahan duff on 17!). Beware: The 18th hole is a very tough test on a wet day when playing into the wind.

The 2010 course was a great experience. I found it great to walk rather than take a buggy. You have to think your way round the course as every hole has its own challenge whether it is lots of bunkers (2nd hole) or water, hills, slopes etc. Great halfway house and was very welcome at that point of the round. 18th was great as it was a challenge to land on the green and not roll back into the water or not over hit it and put it in to one of a number of bunkers. Clubhouse was great and had a great balcony to watch others attempting the 18th.
