Course Report
Finca Cortesin hosted the 2023 Solheim Cup, making it one of the few venues in Spain to welcome this prestigious international women's golf event.
About
Finca Cortesin Golf Club is a modern 18-hole championship course designed by Cabell B. Robinson in 2007. Renowned for its extensive Bermuda grass, strategic bunkering, and dramatic elevation, it offers pristine conditions, challenging greens, and Mediterranean scenic beauty. The resort hosted the 2023 Solheim Cup and is recognized among Europe's finest golfing destinations.
Caddie Tip
Stay below the hole on approaches—most greens feature pronounced tiers and tricky swales. Avoid short-siding yourself into bunkers, particularly on back nine holes like 13, and factor for rapid green speeds. Holes with sea views often play into prevailing winds, so choose clubs conservatively.
The Main Challenge
The greatest challenge lies in navigating the firm, fast Bermuda greens and steep elevation changes. Many approach shots demand precise distance control and a strong short game, while strategically placed bunkers and natural hazards require tactical play throughout the round.
The Good
Golfers praise the expansive, meticulously maintained fairways and exceptionally quick greens. The Mediterranean views, especially from the elevated holes on the back nine, create a memorable golfing experience. Service levels at the resort and on the course are consistently ranked among the best in Europe.
The Not So Good
Some guests feel the green speeds can be intimidating for average players and the layout may prove demanding for high handicappers. Pace of play may slow during busy resort periods, and green fees are considered high compared to other nearby options.
Signature Hole:
#
13
The signature 13th is a challenging par 4 where stunning coastal views frame the elevated tee shot that must navigate a sweeping dogleg right to a well-protected green. Precise club selection and approach play are crucial, as bunkers and sloping terrain combine for a memorable championship-caliber test.

The elegant clubhouse offers Andalusian cuisine with a terrace overlooking the course, premium locker rooms, pro shop, spa, and lounges. Resort amenities include a luxury hotel, fitness center, swimming pools, and private beach club.
