Celtic Manor has 3 courses and its Twenty Ten Course to be the venue for the Ryder Cup in 2010. Can you see what they've done there? But they still couldn't keep away from the Pro Golf Designer Course which they call 'The Montgomerie'by Colin Montgomerie.Can you see what they've done there? The Original Celtic Manor course was called The Roman Road Course, and thats because several Roman Roads cross the course.......The most important fact about the Roman Road course is that it was designed by Robert Trent Jones, the most important course architecht EVER. He invented his own degree course as he went along, taking courses in surveying, horticulture and hydraulics amoungst other subjects, once ill health ruled him out of competitive Golf. It is said that the sun never sets on a course designed by Robert Trent Jones, which might be true. The furthest west I could find was Royal Ka'anapali Golf Course, Maui in Hawaii; the most easterly being in Chamonix in France. Then theres a massive clump in the USA. I wonder why Celtic Manor felt they needed another go at it!
