Two Ryder Cup venues become WLG honorary members

Two former UK Ryder Cup venues have been awarded ‘honourable member’ status of World of Leading Golf, an association representing many of the world’s top golf clubs.

The Celtic Manor Resort, in Newport, Wales, will be joined as the inaugural ‘honourable members’ by 126–year–old Lindrick Golf Club, located in south Yorkshire.

Lindrick is a historic members’ club and is one of Britain’s finest inland golf courses, consistently ranked in the country’s top 100 listings.

Lindrick hosted the Ryder Cup in 1957, when GB&I beat the USA 7½–4½ – the first time the host nation had won in 24 years.

Celtic Manor Resort opened in 1995 has established itself as a world–class golf destination, with three championship courses – the Twenty Ten, Roman Road and the Montgomerie.
