Ryder Cup fever heats up at Celtic Manor gets ready to tee off
As luxury golf membership provides access to Ryder Cup 2010 golf on the new Twenty Ten Course, stage for the 2010 Ryder Cup, the Celtic Manor Resort has reported that a third of the places are already sold two years before the event touches down at the luxury resort in South Wales.
The only course in history to be purpose built for The Ryder Cup, membership not only grants playing rights on the course it also guarantees a place at The Ryder Cup event in 2010 with members receiving one season ticket and the opportunity to purchase another one.
Completing a £16 million investment in the new facilities, The Twenty Ten Clubhouse offers a private members’ lounge that features exposed wooden beams, high-backed leather chairs and an open fire. The laid-back elegance of the traditional gentlemen’s club is further evoked by expansive, oak-panelled locker rooms with their own lounge area from where it is possible to order a drink from The Spike Bar.
Located two hours from London, the 400-bedroom Resort is nestled in 1,400 acres of parkland in the Usk Valley. Celtic Manor boasts seven unique dining venues ranging from the informal atmosphere of The Lodge Brasserie and The Olive Tree to the newly opened gourmet restaurant, The Crown at Celtic Manor.
Membership allows guests the following privileges:
· Guaranteed season tickets to the 2010 Ryder Cup
· Membership of The Twenty Ten Club and full access to the clubhouse
· Season tickets to The Celtic Manor Wales Open, a European Tour event
· Full playing privileges on two other championship courses at the Resort
· Preferential accommodation rates at the Resort Hotel and special rates on leisure membership, food and beverages, spa treatments and retail
. Every 2010 member and a guest will also have access to a private members’ pavilion on every day of the event.
Membership is £3,000 to join and £3,000 a year annual subscription for individual members. Membership will be capped at 450 golfers. Members can also play on two other championship courses at The Celtic Manor Resort – the new Montgomerie, and the original Roman Road.
