My mate got a round on the rider cup course at Celtic Manor for a Christmas present. He's just started lessons now and the round is in June  I hope they replace the divots in time for the Ryder Cup. |

Lovely course as Leefer says, not too long but challenging in parts.
Make sure your wedge play is in order cos the shortish length means you'll probs fnd you have a lot of 'half' shots in, fiddly little chips etc. Loads of bunkers as well. First 2 holes are very birdiable, massive greens and short. The third is a brute of a par 5 so take a 6. Plays 600+ yards off the tournament tees sometimes! The 9th is a great hole, par 4 that I've reached with a 3 iron down wind.
The back 9 is shorter and more straight than the front so dont be too upset if you're struggling through the front. The 17th is the nicest par 3 you'll ever play but for the love of god miss it long and put yourself down for a 10.
They're proper savage about mobile phone use as well, I've been chucked off the course/out of the club house before.
Enjoy.
Enjoy.

I can confirm that it is a superb course, went out in 40 and back in 41 so pretty pleased with score. The 17th is unbelievable! do not attempt to play this course unless you have got a buggy,distance between greens and tees is huge in places. Cheers for the info Dave, much appreciated.
