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.

A True parkland, par-72 course with mature trees up to 300 years old. The Mackintosh provides 6,499 challenging yards off the championship tees and is designed around the original features of the historic parkland. With excellent drainage providing summer golf all year, this course includes four par 5s, four par3s and 10 par 4s, making the Mackintosh a testing but enjoyable walk.
