Passionate about its sporting tradition, Cardiff is a proud supporter of its most favourite sons. The Millennium Stadium, a home away from home to fans of the Welsh rugby team, comes alive when Wales takes on a touring opponent at home. The atmosphere is often intimidating in its feisty exuberance, yet, to be a part of it is quite an amazing experience. Although the rugby, soccer and cricket may seem as the most influential forces that sets the mood of the city most often, golf too has its place in Cardiff.

In fact, many Cardiff golf professionals can be found today who have achieved reasonable feats in the immensely competitive world of golf. Guests residing at Copthorne Hotel Cardiff Caerdydd will be able to utilize the impressive golfing facilities at the Cottrell Park, which features two well-maintained 18 hole championship courses ideal for both amateurs looking to improve their game and serious golfers in search of a worthy challenge to spend time battling through.

These elegantly landscaped courses are quite pleasing to the eye and easy to navigate. They provide a near-perfect setting for those who value state-of-the-art facilities, along with an impeccable golf course strewn with the right amount of obstacles to make the whole experience much more interesting.

Named after the great Alfred Donald Mackintosh who was a resident at Cottrell at the turn of the century, the Mackintosh Course is approximately 6313 yards long. This course has been utilised for a number of significant local golfing events. The Button Gwinnett Course features a handful of lakes which both adds to the scenic beauty of the surroundings and challenges the precision of the golfer.
