Golf the 2010 Ryder Cup Course and Wales

Golf the 2010 Ryder Cup Course and across charming south Wales

This 7-day tour will include golf at the famous Twenty Ten Course built for the Ryder Cup

Golf in Wales: Wales is a small country blessed with deep and haunting valleys, a magnificent coastline, rolling moorland plains, and quaint country roads. Within such diverse settings you will find world-class golf courses of great charm and beauty. Your tour will also let you experience classic hotels in beautiful villages. You will come home loving Wales and you will remember it forever.

Getting there: Golfers arrive at London, Birmingham, or Bristol, with direct flights from the U.S., and go to Wales by land or fly into Cardiff Airport.

Celtic Manor Twenty Ten Course, built for the Ryder Cup

Celtic Manor Twenty Ten Course is the first course to be built specifically for golf’s greatest team tournament. It boasts exceptional views from natural banks overlooking the beautiful River Usk. Celtic Manor is also the home to two other excellent courses: Roman Road and The Montgomery.

Royal Porthcawl is a golf course not to be missed; ranked as one the top 100 courses in the world. Although it’s the top ranked course in Wales, it is off the beaten path and still relatively unknown. Golfers will enjoy the combination of pure links golf, and subtle British heathland golf. The sea is never out of sight.

Penard Golf Club, on an ocean bluff in Wales

Penard is one of Wales’s best courses and sometimes referred to as the “links in the sky”– it’s on a bluff looking across Three Cliff and Oxwich Bays. World famous golf course architect Tom Doak once commented “Pennard is one of my all time favourites – the site is one of the most spectacular I’ve ever seen.”

Pyle and Kenfig 13th Hole, in a gorgeous Wales setting

Pyle & Kenfig is another top ten Welch course in a gorgeous setting. With its lofty sand dunes hugging the South Wales coast, P&K is situated in a wonderful stretch of golfing country with panoramic views from the course over the Bristol Channel, the Gower Peninsula, Sker Farm and the magnificent Welsh Mountains.

Southerndown, in the same region overlooking the Channel and Royal Porthcawl, is one of the finest natural downland courses. Four more excellent courses, spectacularly located just southwest of the above courses, can be included on extended tours: Aberdovey, Asshburham, Machynas Penninsula, and Temby.

Accommodations on this tour could include the spectacular Celtic Manor golf resort; Coed-y-Mwstwr, a Victorian manor house situated in 17 wooded acres; Miston Manor, an historic Manor House in a gorgeous setting; the spectacular 5-star ultra contemporary St David’s Hotel and Spa right on Cardiff Bay.
