Golf Course Information

Description

Nestled just south of the famed Celtic Manor Resort, Llanwern Golf Club is a historic and enchanting destination that offers an exceptional golfing experience for players of all abilities. Recognized as one of Peter Allis's top three hidden gems in the UK, this course is steeped in tradition and charm, offering a unique blend of challenging play and natural beauty.

A Storied Past
Founded in 1928, Llanwern Golf Club boasts a rich history intertwined with the golden age of golf. Remarkably, the club’s 18-hole layout was formally opened in 1937 with an exhibition match featuring the legendary Walter Hagen. This nod to golfing heritage adds a layer of prestige that complements the club’s welcoming atmosphere.

Course Highlights
The 6,317-yard course begins with a gentle par four, setting the stage for a captivating round. Early opportunities for birdies arise with three par fives between the 3rd and 8th holes, while the stretch near Dockwell Wood (holes 9, 12–14) showcases the club’s idyllic surroundings. The final flourish comes at the signature 18th hole, a 190-yard par three played from an elevated tee to a green framed by trees and bunkers—an unforgettable way to end the round.

A True Golfing Haven
Llanwern’s charm extends beyond its immaculate fairways and greens. As a club that predates the nearby Celtic Manor, it exudes an enduring sense of community and tradition. Its location, conveniently accessible via the M4 motorway, makes it a perfect retreat for locals and visitors alike.

Whether you’re drawn by its historical significance, thoughtful course design, or tranquil setting, Llanwern Golf Club promises a memorable experience that captures the essence of classic British golf.
