The Mackintosh course is named after the clan that populated Cottrell Park from the 19th century. The course is challenging but also playable, at close to 6,500 yards at its full length. Boasting original features from existing Roman leftovers, the course is parkland in style, and has been recognised by the Welsh Golf Union as a tournament host. The beautiful countryside of the Vale of Glamorgan provides the perfect backdrop for a superb course.

Cottrell Park's second course, the Button Gwinnett, is named after the man himself, who was one of the 56 individuals who assembled in Philadelphia 1776 to sign the American Declaration of Independence. Button himself lived at Cottrell Park in the 17th century, and this legacy adds to the character of the golf course in situ today. Although shorter than its sister course, the Button is certainly an enjoyable challenge.
