Celtic Manor Resort – Newport, Wales

Famous for staging the 2010 Ryder Cup, Celtic Manor today operates like a small sporting town. Three championship courses—the Twenty Ten, Roman Road and Montgomerie—plus a flood-lit academy range keep golfers busy from first light to twilight. Forum and Dylans Health Clubs add 20-metre pools, state-of-the-art gyms and more than forty fitness classes weekly, leaving no muscle group untrained.

Off the greens, a dedicated archery field, laser-combat arena and high-rope Forest Nets thrill accuracy hunters and adrenaline junkies alike. Racket players find resurfaced indoor and outdoor courts, while cyclists rent e-bikes for Usk Valley climbs. Children enrol in Adventure Golf or Archery Tots, freeing parents for spa hydrotherapy or a lunchtime nine holes. Evening menus vary from Celtic-roasted lamb at Rafters to protein-counted poke bowls in the Forum Café; all outlets label macros for athletes tracking intake.

Recovery is scientific: hot-and-cold contrast journeys, VO₂ testing, massage guns and cryo-sprays line Forum Spa corridors, and rooms come with blackout blinds, soundproofing and 1 Gb Wi-Fi. Whether guests seek tour-level putting practice or family adventure boot camps, Celtic Manor scales to every ambition without losing a drop of Welsh warmth.
