Cardiff Golf Courses
CARDIFF GOLF CLUB
Cardiff is one of the finest parkland golf courses in south Wales. Hidden within the heart of the capital of Wales, it has played host to many national and county championships. Founded in 1922, this 6,000-yard course, containing a variety of mature trees, requires accurate tee shots and demands a high standard of approach shots.

COTTRELL PARK GOLF CLUB, CARDIFF
Two championship golf courses (all-weather) nestled within 400 acres of the beautiful south Wales countryside near Cardiff. The magnificent Button Gwinnett Course with its rolling views of the Vale, is a little gem. Based more on an American design with a number of water features spread over the 18 holes, this course offers challenges for all categories of golfers. The course is named after a former resident and one of the 56 men to sign the Declaration of Independence in 1776, cementing his title as one of America’s immortals. His unusual forename was a homage to his uncle Sir Thomas Button, a naval explorer most famous for charting the American northwest coast. The Mackintosh course offers a completely different golf challenge to the Button Gwinnett and is designed around the original features of the historic parkland trees. The course again boasts some water features, with several doglegs and gets its name from past Cottrell resident, Alfred Donald Mackintosh.
