Finca Cortesin Golf
Finca Cortesin Golf Club is 80kn from Malaga International Airport, located between Sotogrande and Estepona and is considered one of the Costa’s most prestigious and beautiful courses. The entire resort covers 2.1 million m2 and encompasses the golf course, a top class Spa, fabulous luxury holiday villas, a sports club with pool and gym and one of the best 5 star hotels in Europe.
Flanked by the Estepona mountains and very close to the Mediterrenean Sea, in a privileged area of Andalucia, Finca Cortesin Golf was designed by Cabell Robinson and landscaped by Herald Huggan and is one of the best examples of a golf complex that fully observes natural environmental protection and environmentally friendly management. Players will find themselves submerged in a breathtaking green paradise, unspoilt by real estate development, where the quality of the immaculate greens and Bermuda 419 grass fairways truly blends with the surrounding flora.
This impressive 18 hole, par 72, championship standard course is 6800m long and is dotted with over 100 white marble sand bunkers! There are several choices of tees on each hole and an excellent variety of shots, including 5 par 3´s, 8 par 4´s and 5 par 5´s; ensuring an enjoyable game for amateurs and a challenge for professional players. It is a course that will have players reaching for every club in their bag.

In addition to the excellent tuition available, pupils can take their lessons home on CD to continue practice…a highly effective way to cure technical problems!
