Naturally, the hotel is best known for its golf courses. Having hosted the Ryder Cup in 2010, the three world-class golf courses at Celtic Manor are amongst the favourites of devotees. They include The Twenty Ten, The Roman Road, and The Montgomery, as well as a floodlit Toptracer driving range plus two luxurious golf clubhouses.
If you’ve always longed to swing through the trees, Forest Jump is an adrenaline pumping adventure at Celtic Manor. Located in woodland on the Resort’s grounds, it is a combination of high and low rope courses, bridges, walkways, and challenging obstacles plus a daring pole climbing challenge for kids of all ages.
Think crazy golf with a difference. Experience some of the most famous holes in golf, including St Andrews, Pebble Beach and Augusta, or enter the dragon’s lair and float across the lake on a Celtic-inspired raft!
Shoot to thrill with this exciting family combat game. It’s an exhilarating test of skill, nerve and bravery using high-tech laser guns - just what every family needs. Featuring a wide variety of games, it includes elimination, zombies and team challenges.
For anyone from the age of six years old, archery in this beautiful setting is a chance to challenge yourself and your precision skills. One of a host of adventurous additions to family friendly holidays at Celtic Manor, it's a great way to get outside with the kids and learn a new skill.
Built as part of the 2010 Ryder Cup Legacy to encourage more people to have a go at golf, the Celtic Manor's par three pitch and putt course is ideal for juniors, newbies, or families looking for fun and contributing to its reputation as one of the best family-friendly resorts.
Guests have the opportunity to fish for salmon, brown trout and sea trout on the nearby River Usk. Their experienced ghillie is able to guide you in the skills required to fish this dramatic tidal river for salmon and sea trout, depending on the time of year.
Families love climbing through the canopy as you navigate a maze of nets in an adventure playground in the trees. From the smaller chamber for young adventurers from two years upwards, to the giant bounce zone with its forest lookout, vertical slides and ladder tubes, net ninjas of all ages can experience the thrill of an amazing bird’s eye view from the safety of the large enclosed Forest Nets, high in the treetops.
Of course, even on the best family-friendly holiday, sometimes parents need a little time to themselves, and Celtic Manor's Forum Spa is very much at your service. There's an Evergreen Nanny service so you can take time to enjoy the spa, which is a health haven. Facilities include a pool, Rooftop Garden, a gym, enormous Jacuzzi, saunas, steam rooms, plunge pools, 16 spa treatment rooms, a unique Elemis Herbal Steam (perfect for couples), and a Champagne and Beauty Bar.
