☀️ Experience the UK's Most Impressive Solar Eclipse Since 1999 at Cottrell Resort! 🌑

Mark your calendars for Wednesday, August 12th! Skywatchers across South Wales are in for a rare celestial treat, and our patio area is the perfect spot in Cardiff to watch the spectacle unfold over the western horizon.

With up to 96% of the Sun set to be obscured across parts of the UK, this will be our most dramatic partial solar eclipse in over 25 years—and the next one like this won't happen again until 2081!

Grab a drink, settle onto the patio, and enjoy prime open views as the peak hits:

📅 When: Wednesday, 12th August
⏱️ Cardiff Timing: 6:17 PM – 8:06 PM
✨ Eclipse Peak: 7:12 PM
📍 Where: The Patio at Cottrell Resort

Join us for a drink in the sun (and shade!) and watch a piece of astronomical history together! 🍹🕶️

⚡️ ⛳️ LIGHTNING STRIKES TWICE ON THE 8TH! ⛳️⚡️

Lightning doesn’t strike twice? Tell that to David Everitt! 🤯👏

Just weeks after his fantastic ace on June 24th, David has gone and done the unthinkable—he’s hit ANOTHER hole-in-one today on the exact same hole!

🏌️‍♂️ Friday 7th August
⛳️ 8th Hole – Mackintosh Course

To pull off one hole-in-one is incredible, but to ace the 8th hole on the Mackintosh Course twice in one summer is pure perfection. Someone check what David’s having at the clubhouse! 🍾🥂

Massive congratulations again, David—absolutely unreal golf! 🏆🙌

⭐ SENIORS OPEN DAY 2026 🏌️

On Wednesday 15th July, we welcomed over 220 golfers to Cottrell Resort for our annual Seniors Open Day.

With players enjoying both the Mackintosh Course and Button Gwinnett Course, it was fantastic to see so many visitors and members taking part in another successful event. Our halfway house kept everyone refreshed throughout the day, while the putting competition provided some extra fun and friendly competition off the course.

A huge thank you to everyone who joined us, along with our staff and volunteers who helped make the day such a success.

We hope you all had a fantastic day and we look forward to welcoming you back to Cottrell Resort again soon! ⛳👏
