VisitBritain, Britain’s National Tourism Board invites you to experience the Ryder Cup - one of the most prestigious golf’s team tournaments in the history. This bi-annual tournament gathers best of British and American golfers and will be played for the first time in Wales on October 1—3, at the first golf course to have been purpose-built for the event. The Twenty Ten course, which opened in 2007, is one of three championship courses at the Celtic Manor Resort in South Wales. The other courses at Celtic Manor are the Montgomerie, designed by Scotland’s leading golfer Colin Montgomerie, and the Roman Road course which has been the venue for the last three Celtic Manor Wales Opens. There is also a floodlit driving range, practice range, golf shop and three teaching bays, and two large golf clubhouses, with their own bars, restaurants and lounges. The Celtic Manor Resort is 90 minutes from London Heathrow and 45 minutes from Bristol and Cardiff-Wales International Airport. It is near Newport station with direct trains to Cardiff, London Paddington and Birmingham.
