The Roman Road Course at Celtic Manor Resort

The course

Named after the old Via Julia Roman highway that ran through its fairways, the Roman Road was the resort's first course and was ranked the top inland course in Wales by Golf Monthly, according to Celtic Manor. The par-70 layout mixes long, open fairways with holes that twist through trees and across streams. It has hosted numerous European Tour and Senior Tour events, has been the venue for The Celebrity Cup since 2012, and in 2026 staged the G4D Open for golfers with disabilities, run with the R&A and the DP World Tour.

Booking and visitor practicalities

Tee times for all three Celtic Manor courses can be booked online by visitors, with green fees shown at the time of booking. Buggies are available as an extra. Rounds start from the Celtic Manor Golf Club clubhouse, which has locker rooms with marble showers, a dedicated golf reception and a Golf Services team who help with equipment and buggies. The course holds GEO Certification for environmental management.

Getting there and nearby

The course is part of Celtic Manor Resort at Coldra Woods in the Usk Valley, Newport. The neighbouring Twenty Ten Course hosted the 2010 Ryder Cup, and the Montgomerie, a par-69 design by Colin Montgomerie with deep pot bunkers, shares the same clubhouse.
