A championship venue for top professional and amateur events, Roman Road is nevertheless ideal for all levels of play. A championship venue for top professional and amateur events, Roman Road is nevertheless ideal for all levels of play. The course offers a variety of tees on each hole and has generous fairways and greens .
Roman Road takes its name from the ancient East-West highway of Roman Britain crossing its fairways to the nearby Roman fortress town of Caerleon from London and Bath . Several Roman roads, including the main route connecting the fortress of Caerleon with the town of Caerwent , cross the land where the Roman Road is situated. In 1997, £300,000 was invested in under-soil drainage. Like Wentwood Hills, Roman Road has around 15 miles of perforated pipes laid under the fairways to take water away and provide superb conditions all year round.
