The course

Signature Hole

The 14th · Finca Cortesin Golf Club · Par 4

A short, heavily strategic par-4 of approximately 275 meters where the tee shot must navigate off a ridge and the approach carries over a barranca into a green guarded by tall oaks and eleven bunkers. Host to the Solheim Cup 2023 and Volvo World Match Play, this hole distills Cabell Robinson's design philosophy: placement over power.

The Estate

Life at Finca Cortesin Hotel Golf & Spa

Finca Cortesin occupies a private estate one mile from the Costa del Sol with a single championship course that hosted three editions of the Volvo World Match Play and the 2023 Solheim Cup, a Thai-concept spa spanning 2,200 square metres, and three distinct restaurants anchored by a Spanish kitchen with panoramic Mediterranean views.

The insider's note

The Beach Club at Finca Cortesin is a 15-minute drive along the coast and operates with the privacy of a members-only club — reserve in advance, not as an afterthought. After golf, the hotel's Kabuki Raw offers an unexpectedly precise Japanese omakase experience in the middle of the Andalusian countryside.
