Abstract/Contents: | Profiles Celtic Manor in Newport, Wales, built specifically for a Ryder Cup. States that "when Celtic Manor was awarded the 2010 Ryder Cup, a key part of the bid's success was the resort's commitment to build a new course for the event." Explains that Ross McMurray of European Golf Design "has taken nine of the existing Wentwood Hills holes and renovated them - focusing particularly on bunkering - and built nine completely new holes." Suggests that "the really exciting part of the...course is the last four holes. The first fourteen holes occupy essentially flat land on the Usk floodplain, although the river is isolated from play for environmental...reasons." Concludes that "[Celtic Manor] is a severe property, built on very heavy soil in an extremely wet climate, and the resort is no stranger to drainage problems. But McMurray is confident his...Ryder Cup course has been built with sufficient drainage to cope, and in the finishing four holes, he has certainly created a finishing stretch that will make for exciting golf." |
