Cottrell Resort

Just outside Cardiff, Cottrell Park is a handy base for a quick golf break, with two parkland courses on the same site and a clubhouse that's ideal for a post-round bite and a pint. It's one of the most convenient options for a golf break in Cardiff, combining accessible golf with solid facilities and easy access back into the Welsh capital for restaurants, nightlife and transport links.

The clubhouse is the hub, with a bar and restaurant for post-round food and drinks and a snooker and pool room for a bit of friendly competition. Need to get the tee sheet sorted or grab any last-minute bits? The pro shop can help with bookings, club hire and essentials, plus there are indoor simulators for a swing check when the weather turns. If you're travelling with family or non-golfers, there's also an outdoor children's play area and a nature trail around the grounds.

With Cardiff around 20 minutes away, depending on traffic, it's easy to build a weekend around more than just golf. Get your morning tee time in, then head into town for dinner, a match day atmosphere or a few bars to round off the day.

Who is this for?
Groups who want two courses in one place and an easy run into Cardiff for food, drinks and a night out.

Who is it best for?
Mixed-ability trips and societies who like the option of a tougher headline round plus a more forgiving second course, with a clubhouse that keeps the weekend ticking along.
