As sports fans wait with baited breath for this year’s Ryder Cup, The Celtic Manor Wales Open from June 3-6 offers the perfect opportunity to whet the appetite.
Played over the very same course as The Ryder Cup, the tournament is expected to boast its strongest ever playing field as Europe’s leading stars arrive on a reconnaissance mission just four months before the showdown with the United States.
With Ryder Cup tickets highly sought after through a ballot application process, The Celtic Manor Wales Open represents a great chance to witness top class golfing competition on the same stage.
And by booking before the end of February, those wishing to secure their place in the galleries at Celtic Manor this summer can make savings of up to 33 per cent. An adult ticket for a full day’s play is just £20 (normally £25) while a season ticket to see all four days is only £45 (normally £55).
Seniors over 60 pay just £10 daily (normally £15) and £30 for a season ticket (normally £35) when booking before March 1. Children under 16 go free when accompanied by an adult.
For those wishing to make it a really special occasion or to entertain clients, a full day’s VIP hospitality is also available at discounted prices before March 1. From just £225, plus VAT, hospitality tickets include morning coffee and pastries on arrival, a pre-lunch Pimms reception, a four-course lunch with wine, afternoon tea, a complimentary bar all day and TV screens to watch the tournament action.
Celtic Manor Resort Chief Executive Dylan Matthews said: “This year’s Celtic Manor Wales Open promises to be the best ever as we all look forward to hosting The Ryder Cup in October.
“We’re going to see some of the world’s best golfers vying for the title this June, with many of them pressing their claims for a place in Colin Montgomerie’s Ryder Cup team.
“This is a rare opportunity this summer for sports fans in England and Wales to see top-class golf on their own doorstep.”
Past winners of The Celtic Manor Wales Open have included Ryder Cup stars Robert Karlsson, Miguel Angel Jiménez, Ian Poulter, Paul Lawrie and Paul McGinley.’
As well as top-class golfing action, the tournament offers a great day out for all the family with a tented village including bar, food outlets, shops selling golf merchandise and opportunities for youngsters to try their hand at golf.
