Press Release
CELTIC MANOR NAMES RYDER CUP COURSE
AND LAUNCHES NEW MEMBERSHIP
The new course built for staging the Ryder Cup at The Celtic Manor Resort in 2010 has been named after the date that shaped its existence.
The Twenty Ten Course has been given a title which reflects the fact that the spectacular new lay-out will forever be associated with hosting he Ryder Cup, one of the world’s most captivating sporting events.
Playing the prestigious course – the first ever to be designed and built specifically for the Ryder Cup – is not the only benefit of accepting an invitation to become a member of the new Twenty Ten Club, one of the most exclusive golf clubs in the United Kingdom.
First and foremost, membership is the best way of guaranteeing your place at The Ryder Cup in 2010. Demand will heavily outstrip supply when ticket applications are decided by a ballot process, but every member of The Twenty Ten Club will be given a season ticket plus the opportunity to purchase another one.
Come the autumn of 2010, every member and a guest will also have access to a private members' pavilion on every day of golf’s greatest team tournament between Europe and America.
The Twenty Ten Club will be strictly limited to 450 members who will be able to relax in a luxurious new clubhouse before or after a round on the world’s latest “trophy” course. It is expected that such a luxurious new golfing facility will attract members from all over the UK and abroad, as well as the club’s immediate surroundings in South Wales.
Dylan Matthews, Chief Executive of the Celtic Manor Resort, said: “This is a very exciting opportunity for golfers who pride themselves in the calibre of the club they belong to. The Twenty Ten Club will be one of the most exclusive golf clubs in the country as befits a Ryder Cup venue and a course which is already winning a reputation as one of the world’s must-play championship lay-outs.
“As well as becoming part of an elite club that exudes luxury and quality, Twenty Ten membership also brings the opportunity to be a part of history when the Ryder Cup comes to Wales for the first time in 2010.
“This is the best way to guarantee your place at the heart of the action – a ticket that money may not be able to buy at the time – as well as being able to call the venue your own home course.”
Welsh rugby legend Gareth Edwards has accepted an invitation to become the first honorary captain of the Twenty Ten Club, a position he will hold until at least the Ryder Cup matches arrive at Celtic Manor in three years.
“I feel truly honoured to have been asked to take up this post,” said Edwards, a driving force in the all-conquering Welsh rugby team of the 1970s and now a keen golfer.
“It is a very special course, which provides the sort of challenge that members are never going to tire of, and the new clubhouse looks absolutely magnificent. I’m sure we’re all going to be very proud of playing here in the run-up to 2010 and beyond.”
In the meantime, members will have the best seats in the brand new clubhouse where a private members' lounge and adjoining balcony overlook the 18th hole, which provides such a dramatic conclusion to any round on the Twenty Ten Course.
The members' lounge will feature exposed wooden beams, high-backed leather chairs and an open fire. The laid-back elegance of the traditional gentlemen’s club will be further evoked by luxury locker rooms from where it will be possible to order a drink from the spike bar.
The magnificent clubhouse – part of a £16m investment in building the new course – will also house a high-ceiling restaurant and separate function room, both enjoying views out over the picturesque course and the beautiful Usk Valley beyond.
In addition, members will receive two season tickets to the Celtic Manor Wales Open as well as access to play on two more exceptional championship courses at the Resort – the new Montgomerie, designed by the Ryder Cup legend, Colin Montgomerie, and the Roman Road, which has hosted the last three Wales Opens and the celebrity All*Star Cup.
