It sure is, I had my last look at it last weekend when playing one of the other courses at The Celtic Manor, Par 5 3rd green on The Montgomerie course overlooks the 2010 course, you should see it with all the grandstands, giant screens and hospitality tents etc!

This is from Poulters Twitter page, from the 2010 clubhouse overlooking the 18th

Wow! What a beaut of a course. I can't wait to watch it on the television.

With those pictures hole #8 looks exactly like hole #2, are they not the same hole?

Front nine is almost 4000 yards. Its getting ridiculous.

Not like the ball is going to fly far there anyway since its going to be cold/wet.

Can't find rating and slope for the course. It could be that Europeans don't use the system? But here is the official scorecard.

It's the SSS (Standard Scratch Score) instead of rating and slope over here. You can see it in the top right corner of the score card. Basically under normal playing conditions a scratch golfer would be expected to shoot 77 (6 over!) from the blue tees at Celtic Manor.

So how is a player's handicap on a specific course adjusted based on the course SSS? I guess I alway thought the handicap system was an international (at least R & A and USGA) system. Live and learn I guess.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By WillieT · Posted

      Day 27 (7 Dec 25) - Got in a few swings with 9i and hard foam balls in backyard.  Setup weight fwd (rebuilt left foot really lets me feel the weight in a slightly painful way) - kept the backswing to around 9 o’clock focusing on contact and resulting divot pattern.  Like how the hard foam balls come off the face (almost like real balls in sound).  A good abbreviated session as I only able to hit about a dozen balls in the fading light.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By iacas · Posted

      Not the part I was replying to: Handicaps did not go down much (like 0.14 on average IIRC?) when we went from 10/20*0.96 to 8/20. And a good chunk of that was from the +s.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By Ty_Webb · Posted

      I think he meant in the UK. The old system was completely different from the new one. 10/20 x 0.96 vs 8/20 would really only impact very low handicaps I think. The 0.96 serves to increase differentials for plus differentials, where 8/20 vs 10/20 works to lower differentials for all. I don't know many plus golfers who would be upset that their index got lower. A lot of really good players don't even really keep their handicaps up-to-date. They're much more interested in their WAGR rankings which get them entries to certain events.

      Day 433 - 2025-12-07 Got some work in after Junior Elite before a night of sports (and the return of my wife!). Backswing work. Similar to what a lot of my juniors are doing.
