Entrance drive to Cottrell Park Golf Resort
Viewed from the edge of the A48.
The Cottrell Estate was purchased in 1942 by the present owners, William Powell & Sons. Before construction of the golf course, the land was used for agriculture. The manor house was demolished in 1972, as it had become unfit for habitation. Three properties remaining on the site have been renovated for staff accommodation.
Cottrell Park Golf Resort has two 18-hole courses. One is the Mackintosh course, named after Alfred Donald Mackintosh of Mackintosh, the 28th Chief of Clan Mackintosh and Chief of Clan Chattan, who lived at Cottrell Park in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The course is 6,313 yards long.
The other is the Button Gwinnett Course, named after the Button family who lived at Cottrell Park during the 17th century. The course is 6,183 yards long.
