Casares, Andalucía, Spain
Finca Cortesin Golf Club
One of the finest resort courses in the world — Finca Cortesin is a world-ranked layout of exceptional quality, set within a luxury estate near Casares with views across the Mediterranean to Morocco.
About the Course
Finca Cortesin Golf Club
Finca Cortesin Golf Club opened in 2006 and was designed by Cabell B. Robinson — one of the most respected golf course architects working in Europe. The course is set within the Finca Cortesin estate near Casares, in the hills above the Costa del Sol, and it is consistently ranked among the top 100 courses in the world.
The course has hosted the Volvo World Match Play Championship and the Solheim Cup, and it is one of the most prestigious venues in European golf. The layout uses the natural terrain of the Andalucían hills with great intelligence, creating a sequence of holes that are both visually dramatic and strategically demanding.
The Finca Cortesin Hotel, which sits adjacent to the course, is one of the finest luxury hotels in Spain — a five-star property of exceptional quality that makes the estate one of the most complete golf and leisure destinations in Europe. Staying and playing here is one of the great golf travel experiences on the continent.

Why It Stands Out
World Top 100
Finca Cortesin is consistently ranked among the top 100 courses in the world — a remarkable achievement for a course that opened only in 2006. The combination of Cabell Robinson's design, the estate setting, and the immaculate conditioning has created a course that stands comparison with the finest in Europe.
The Solheim Cup Venue
Finca Cortesin hosted the Solheim Cup in 2023 — one of the most prestigious events in women's professional golf. The course proved a formidable and spectacular test for the world's best players, and the event cemented Finca Cortesin's reputation as a venue of genuine international significance.
The Mediterranean Views
From the higher points of the course, the views across the Mediterranean to the coast of Morocco are extraordinary. On a clear day, the Strait of Gibraltar is visible, and the combination of the golf, the landscape, and the light creates an atmosphere that is unlike anything else in European golf.
The Complete Estate Experience
The Finca Cortesin Hotel is one of the finest luxury hotels in Spain — a five-star property with exceptional spa facilities, multiple restaurants, and a level of service that matches the quality of the golf. Staying and playing here is one of the great golf travel experiences in Europe.
