Register Your Interest! Worldchefs Inaugural Golf Challenge – 14 May 2026, Celtic Manor Resort in Newport, Wales.
The Worldchefs Congress & Expo 2026 in Newport, Wales is now less than a year away! Our venue, the renowned Celtic Manor Resort, is one of the world’s leading resort hotels and conference destinations. In addition to its outstanding event facilities, Celtic Manor hosts three championship golf courses — all of which have hosted European Tour events, including the prestigious Ryder Cup in 2010.
As this will be the first time the Congress is held in such a unique and iconic location, it has been proposed that Worldchefs host its inaugural Worldchefs Golf Challenge. The event will take place on Thursday, 14 May 2026, on the renowned Montgomerie Course at Celtic Manor.
Open to all delegates, partners, spouses, and Congress sponsors, the competition will follow the Stableford format and begin with a ‘shotgun start’ at 1:30 PM.
The cost for the day is £95.00 per person, which includes Green Fees and Entry Fee, along with the following:
1. Play on the Roman Road/Montgomerie Course
2. Exclusive use of the course for up to 72 players, including:
- Shotgun start on the Roman Road Golf Course
- Complimentary electric golf buggies with GPS (1 buggy per 2 players)
- Professional scorecard management via Golf Genius, handled by the Celtic Collection Golf Operations Team
- Pre-game golf briefing by the Celtic Collection Golf Operations Team
- Par 3 Challenge with the chance to win a free round of golf (managed by the Celtic Collection Golf Operations Team)
- Nearest the Pin and Longest Drive challenges
- Additional on-course competitions
- Set-up of up to 9 on-course banners for sponsors (additional branding options available on request)
- Flying of the Worldchefs flag at the Golf Club
Club hire is available at an additional cost of £50.00 per person.
To move forward with planning and finalize the day’s programme, we first need to gauge genuine interest in the event. Should enough delegates express interest, we will proceed with a contract agreement with Celtic Manor.
Upon confirmation of your booking, a non-refundable deposit will be required, with the remaining balance due by an agreed date.
To support our planning efforts, we kindly ask that you send an initial expression of interest by email as soon as possible, and no later than 1 September 2026. Please send an email directly to Neil Thomson to register your interest by clicking the button below.
