The Belfry 4* Venue Information

 

 

 

 

 

 

Brabazon Course
The Brabazon Course is steeped in Ryder Cup history, having welcomed the European and American teams on no less than four occasions. Who could forget Sam Torrance's 18th hole heroics in 1985, or the jubilant Paul McGinley sinking the winning putt in 2002? These famous moments are what make the Brabazon so special, and should inspire every golfer to visit and experience that legacy. The course is also a regular stop for the European Tour's best, with the Quinn Insurance British Masters to be held again in late September 2008. This regular tournament golf ensures that the course is in fine condition throughout the year.

PGA National Course
The PGA National Course opened for business in 1997 to strengthen the Belfry's golfing resort and ease the traffic over the famous Brabazon. Since then the PGA has established a superb reputation of its own, hosting the Seniors European Open Tournament. The main feature of the course is the tremendous bunkering, designed to protect the large, undulating greens. Playing the first and last holes, you will be under the watchful gaze of those in the clubhouse, adding considerable pressure.

Derby Course
The Derby Course is the perfect complement to the Belfry's feature tracks, whose par-69 layout is an enjoyable challenge for golfers of all standards. The best hole is the 5th, where golfers must drive over the majestic oak that marks the middle of the fairway.

The Belfry's superb golfing complex is home to the headquarters of the PGA of Great Britain and Ireland, the PGA of Europe and the PGA National Training Academy

Celtic Manor Resort 5* Venue Information

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Roman Road Course
The Roman Road was the resort's first, opened in 1995, and was then ranked as Wales' best inland layout. Since then, intensive investment has drastically improved the drainage, ensuring 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 land, and his work was so good that it played host to the Welsh Open in 2005 and 2006.

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

Twenty Ten Course
The Ryder Cup Course has been built at the bottom of the valley, and as a result the surrounding hills serve as natural amphitheatres; the atmosphere at the 2010 matches was scintillating. With Ryder Cup memories on show throughout the course, will you be a fist-pumping McDowell holing a putt on the 16th or a chip-duffing Mahan on the 17th? With the course measuring 7,469-yards from the Championship markers, this is an examination that will test all who step out onto its lush fairways.

The Celtic Manor's practice and teaching facilities have made it the ideal home for Welsh Golf Union. Notable features include the two-tiered driving range, whose purpose-built tuition bays utilise the latest in technology.
