Cottrell Park Golf Club - The Button Gwinnett Course
Rating Snapshot
About
The historic parkland of Cottrell Park is set in the heart of the Vale of Glamorgan and it is an idyllic setting for a golfing venue. Cottrell is very conveniently located, being only a few miles from Cardiff and it's International Airport. The beautiful parkland covers over 400 acres and offers breathtaking views sweeping northwards as far as the Brecon Beacons and southwards over the Bristol Channel to the Mendips. The golfing facilities include two championship golf courses, the Mackintosh, (6,499 yards off the white tees), and the Button Gwinnett, (6,192 yards off the white tees), as well as an all weather floodlit driving range, putting greens and golf practice areas.
With an American theme, the Button Gwinnett course boasts 13 lakes spread over 18 holes.The course offers a good challenge to all categories of golfer as well as offering the most fantastic views across the Vale. The 16th hole has similarities to the 16th of Augusta National with water from tee to green. The 17th plays up to a Plato green and to finish you play the picturesque 18th over a large water feature in view of the clubhouse.

Beautiful course with many challenges
The Button Course was in splendid condition, the greens were exceptional
This course looks short on the scorecard but is so well set up that most holes are demanding
Found myself using clubs which rarely come out of the bag
Can't wait to visit again
My local
Will never tire of Cottrell Park Golf Resort, with two exceptionally maintained and diverse courses. I recommend anyone play here
Good resort coure
If you are looking for a professional golf experience with friendly staff and two excellent courses then call into Cotterell Park. Great value ans stunning views from the Button course.
Macintosh course more challenging no two holes the same. Well worth a visit.
Fantastic course
We had great weather for our round of golf and it really showed the course and surrounding areas in all it’s glory
Poor greens
Green conditions were poor and didn’t warrant green fee if £20. Course has great potential and is forgiving off the tee though.
Favourite course when visiting Cardiff
We enjoy both Button and Macintosh because they are not too long and allow for a most enjoyable round. Button provides the better views but both courses are very good.
Excellent
Great round, great facilities. Will be going back as was member previously.
Only downside was that there was a non-member 4 ball in front of a number of groups who wouldn't let anyone play through. Poor form!
