A Course Built for the Ryder Cup

The Twenty Ten Course at Celtic Manor Resort opened in 2007 as the first course created specifically to stage a Ryder Cup. Its design combined nine newly built holes in the Usk Valley with nine holes retained and extensively reshaped from the former Wentwood Hills layout.

The opening section carries a links-like feel through long rough and greenside swales. The character changes around the turn, where lakes tighten the lines into greens and reward players willing to judge a demanding carry. The final four holes rise to higher ground, creating an elevated closing sequence that ends beneath the purpose-built clubhouse.

The course hosted the 2010 Ryder Cup, when Europe defeated the United States 14½–13½ after weather delays pushed the decisive singles session into Monday. It has also welcomed the European Tour for ten Wales Open events, adding tournament history beyond its Ryder Cup identity.

Why Add This Course to Your Golf Experience

The Twenty Ten brings a clear sense of occasion to a South Wales golf experience. Visitors receive a personalised locker in the Ryder Cup Locker Room, while bag transfers and dedicated warm-up time prepare them for the round.

Club cleaning follows play, and the purpose-built clubhouse overlooks the 18th green. Kinfern can pair the course with the Montgomerie or Roman Road during a multi-night Celtic Manor stay, limiting transfers while giving golfers distinct tests within the same resort.
