What Celtic manor courses to play ?

[golfdub]

Finally today I recieved vouchers that i won at golf live for celtic manor. I won a fourball voucher for he 2010 course and a fourball voucher for the roman road course or the Montgomery course so its worth a nice few quid.
So my question is what course is better out of the roman road and the Montgomery course ? As I'm not sure which one to play.

Any recommendations ?

Father in law reckons the roman road is a cracking course

Not played it yet myself, plan on it in the future tho

I've played both and they are both very nice courses. I think I prefer the Monty. Very underlating and some absolutely cracking holes, but RR is probably more of a traditional challenge.

Played Roman Road last September and it was very very wet underfoot. Enjoyed the course and some great holes - but sooo wet it was.

Haven't played any, but from feedback from a few people, I have been led to believe the montgomery is the better course than RR.

Both good but the MOnty has better more picturesque holes. Can't go wrong with either really,ground here very good at the minute and forecast good.

Played the Monty and absolutely loved it. Some great holes. The 3rd is one of the best looking holes I have played!

Yep agree with that, but I would add the 18th as well. A big hitting slicers dream, aim it straight over the trees just short of the green, and BOOM!

They're both very good courses. When you get to the 3rd green on the Monty, the views of the Usk valley and the 2010 course are superb. The Roman was in superb nick last weekend. There's a fair bit of undulation on the greens on both courses so they will test your putting skills.

Thanks for the help it seems I may be edging towards the monty

And when you've finished you will have definitely earned your post round pint. It's quite an undulating course and the walk from the 16th tee to the fairway gets the heart rate going (well I am 40 now) :lol:

I played the Roman Road . course yesterday for the first time in a couple of years and it was in magnificant condition. Greens were superb and a true test and rest of it was manicured to perfection.

Most people I've spoken to said the Roman Road is much the better course.

Shot 80 to which made me a very happy boy

From what I've heard from various people is that the Monty is the better course so I'd go for that personally

I've played all of the Celtic Manor courses. As far as Roman road and Monty go they both have their cute holes and they both have there not so challenging. I personally preferred the Monty. The view off the 3rd tee down the fairway alone is worth playing it over the Roman Road. Some of the views on other holes are also breathtaking. Also you get some beautiful views overlooking the 2010 to motivate you for that second day.

MONTY ALL DAY LONG!
