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, has already hosted the European Tour’s Volvo World Matchplay three times and in 2023 will host the 18th edition of the Solheim Cup.

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.

This is one of my favourite courses in Spain but it had been hit hard by a very wet winter. Fairways were brown and not much grass on them. Greens very decent in comparison but quite inconsistent depending on softness of surrounding area. A few weeks of proper Spanish weather should restore it to greatness though.

Fantastic course but you do pay the premium for that
July and August are the hottest months in the Costa del Sol with the temperatures averaging 26 degrees Celsius. So if you are looking for some golf in the sun, this is the perfect time to visit. With great weather still to be had in the autumn months in Spain it is certainly a destination that is worth considering at any time of the year.
The hotel at Finca Cortesin is one of the best in Spain and offers a state-of-the-art spa and wellness facility enabling a relaxing environment for golfer and non-golfers to enjoy as part of their holiday.
