Since its unveiling in 2007, Finca Cortesin has hosted numerous world-class events including the Volvo World Matchplay on the European Tour in both 2009 and 2011. After sealing its place among the very best golf courses in Europe in a relatively short time span, this Costa del Sol classic is now set to welcome the best of the best of women’s golf at The 2023 Solheim Cup.
Designed by Cabell B Robinson, one of the most influential figures in European golf course design, Finca Cortesin is now arguably the best golf course on the Costa del Sol. When you consider there are over 50 to choose from in this province of Spain, that’s high praise indeed.
Players from Team USA & Team Europe can expect plenty of room in which to maneuver off the tee, but stray too far from the middle of the fairway, and Finca Cortesin will really show its teeth. Thick scrubland typically associated with the Estepona Mountains waits for any sufficiently stray shots, while numerous water hazards, massive, gleaming white bunkers and dramatically undulating putting surfaces all add to the challenge as well.
Just a 5-minute drive from the beaches of the Mediterranean Sea, Finca Cortesin offers far more than just golf and those heading to The 2023 Solheim Cup can take full advantage of its prime Costa del Sol location. Tee up your own rounds of golf at some of the best golf courses in Spain that are within easy driving distance of Finca Cortesin such as La Reserva, San Roque and the world-famous Valderrama. Enjoy the sun, sea and sand the Costa del Sol is so famous for with some beach life in between Solheim Cup rounds. And of an evening, tuck into some tapas and maybe blow the froth off a couple of pints of San Miguel beer.
The Costa del Sol is renowned in Europe as a premier location for golf, so why not take full advantage of all it has to offer while soaking up the action at the premier event in ladies golf?
