The Finca Cortesin Resort is a luxury golf destination, in the far south-western corner of Malaga, known for its championship layout, outstanding presentation, top-tier events, and impressive resort facilities.
The 18-hole, par 72 course at Finca Cortesin is globally renowned for providing one of Europe’s most unforgettable golf experiences and is highly rated amongst Spain’s best golf courses.
Cabell B. Robinson’s course design and Gerald Huggan’s landscaping design make for a most attractive design, harmoniously integrating the natural characteristics of the area to create a perfect balance between a potpourri of flora, pine forest and the, perfectly manicured, Bermuda grass on the course.
Measuring 6802 metre, from the back tees, with more than 100 bunkers, the course is strategically demanding but the choice of five different tee positions makes the course accessible to all players. On a windy day the Finca Cortesin golf course can be a difficult animal to tame as many your shots seem to play into the teeth of the prevailing wind coming up off the Mediterranean far below.
The front nine is in all honesty a bit of a beast as it drops into the valley below the clubhouse and then climbs back around inland from the sea to end the 9-hole loop close to the wonderful clubhouse and hotel. The back nine on the other hand is a little gentler, but still with some extreme changes of elevation and the finishing 3 holes on a flatter area of land back up towards the closing stroke index 8, par 5 18th hole.
The excellent maintenance of the fairways, pristine greens and outstanding customer service with attention to the smallest details all serve to provide a memorable, challenging round in an aesthetically exceptional natural and unique environment.
Finca Cortesin, the host of the Volvo World Match Play Championship on three occasions and The Solheim Cup 2023, one of the world’s most prestigious professional golf tournaments. The Golf Travel People have been fortunate to play the course, and it is clear to see the reason why the course is selected as a challenging venue for the pro’s as well as us amateurs!
The practice ground drops away steeply downhill in front of the clubhouse giving you the opportunity to hit towering shots into the well-manicured greens below – a fun way to start your day at Finca Cortesin and with an on-site Jack Nicklaus Academy of Golf, the tuition and extensive practice options are second-to-none in the area.
