Reasons to Visit Finca Cortesin Golf Resort 5*

Top 20 Golf Course in Europe - top-rated by golfers
Stunning luxury golf resort with award-winning hotel and European Tour host golf course

The ‘Costa del Golf’ has been the benchmark for European golf holidays for decades, with some of Europe’s oldest and greatest golf courses found along this glorious stretch of coast. Considering it takes a truly special layout for any young club to make even a slight impact here, it is even more impressive that Finca Cortesin exploded onto the scene when its doors opened in 2007.

Finca Cortesin is regarded by many as the most luxurious golf resort in Spain, situated between the beautiful coastal towns of Sotogrande and Marbella, on the road to the beautiful mountain villages of the Casares. While the Finca Cortesin Hotel is astounding, the golf course is the crown jewel, ranked in Europe's top 20 courses, and has already hosted the European Tour’s Volvo World Matchplay three times.

Finca Cortesin Golf Course

Overlooking the spectacular Costa del Sol shoreline of Southern Spain, Finca Cortesin is a special place to play golf. It is here that the remarkable contrast of colours and tones set the scene, and where the designer, along with renowned landscape architect Herald Huggan, has created a true masterpiece.

From the championship tees, Finca Cortesin can be extended beyond 7,500 yards, making it a formidable proposition, even for the world’s finest players who enjoyed it as the venue of The Volvo World Matchplay Championship, past winners include Ross Fisher, Ian Poulter and Nicolas Colsaerts.

Impeccably manicured Bermuda grass fairways are punctuated with bunkers filled with gleaming white sand, creating a stunning visual contrast. While the golf course is monumentally challenging from the back tees, Robinson was at pains to manufacture a layout that could be enjoyed not only by the best golf has to offer but by golf holiday makers of every ability. As such there are tees to suit players of all shapes and sizes.

Signature hole: par 4, 4th hole

The par 4, 4th measures in at a tantalising 330 yards meaning that for the longer hitters the green is reachable in 1 and potentially setting up a chance of eagle. However, this classic risk and reward hole is not without danger as the green is very well protected by a large water hazard meaning if your tee shot is not perfect then you will almost certainly be in the drink. The sensible play for this hole would be to hit a long iron off the tee down the right hand side of the fairway leaving you with a short iron into the green taking the water on the left hand side completely out of play.

In association with the local area’s golfing delights such as Valderrama, Sotogrande and La Reserva, Finca Cortesin can be included in a golf tour of the very highest order that will rival anything in Europe or indeed the rest of the world.

Finca Cortesin is ranked as one of the best courses in Spain

Tips for visiting Finca Cortesin Golf Resort 5*

Handicap: 12
Visited: October

I played Finca Cortesin on a trip where I teamed it up with Valderrama, this makes for a great 5* golf experience. The fairways here are immaculate but unless you are used to walking a course with a few elevation changes I would advise booking a buggy, especially if the sun is beating down on you.

The course is tough from the back tees but there are plenty of options for the holiday golfer to enjoy. Multiple dining options are available here but you just have to try Kabuki Raw, a Michelin starred Japanese restaurant with Mediterranean influences. If you base your accommodation at Finca Cortesin you can also make use of the brilliant state of the art spa.

The course was very quiet during our stay - so a choice of tee times was available and we were neither pushed from behind or kept waiting. Wonderful practice area, great service from the caddy masters with complimentary fruit, water and even soup on the course! The course was in immaculate condition and the greens very true - and fast! It is a very tough examination of all aspects of your game - but very enjoyable.

The most difficult course I have ever played due to the sloping fairways and greens being extremely fast in gale force winds. Quality is unquestionable but really struggled to justify the cost. The whole place oozes class but not an enjoyable round

We were in Spain recently, decided on a Saturday we wanted to play golf on the Sunday, so reached for the laptop having looked at local rates and tee times, decided to e mail Nick at Your Golf,not expecting a reply, got a message back within the hour, the very best rate and tee times of our choice to play Finca and La Reserva what a service....

Very Good

The course is obviously outstanding for very good golfers - some of the greens are too hard for average golfers to read & with the wind (often there in Finca) makes the balls move they are that glass like. It is expensive for me as average player & yet it is a stunning course - it is my level of golf that makes the entire experience a challenging one :-)

Excellent course and a very tough challenge. We love the facilities and the staff in particular were fantastic. We enjoy every aspect of the experience on our visits here. The only minor criticism is the hole preparation was disappointing. The plastic insert at the top of the hole was protruding on a few and did effect holing out.
