An experience
Reviewed February 21, 2022
We cannot understand the negative judgment of our outpost. Finca Cortesin is golf at its finest. Moderate place to play well and fair, wonderfully set in the landscape and well maintained. Service is very important, the employees are not only polite and friendly, but also cordial. Sure, the place is expensive, but that's why it's not used much, so you can enjoy the game. By the way: in the package z. B. bought via div golfbookings, you pay significantly less. You don't find and play a course like this every day and should therefore see it as something special...

Way too expensive
Reviewed October 14, 2021
Even if the whole ambience and the maintenance of the course are excellent, the price of 320 euros for the unspectacular fairways is not at all justified.
Too bad. I still enjoyed playing the course for 150 euros.
Then for this price I'd prefer Valderama.

Very nice place with avoidable drawbacks
Reviewed May 5, 2021
We were in Finca Cortesin in April 2021 and played the course three times. The entire staff is very friendly and helpful. The layout of the course is great and varied. From the white tees you must / may tee off over gorges several times. 200m par 3's, challenging but great. Fast, tight greens. The only disadvantage that should not be underestimated: the holes in the greens are protected against fraying with a white plastic ring up to the sward. That leads to a lot of lipped balls, not exactly cool!

This beautiful golf course, which was integrated with a lot of feeling in the Finca Cortesin Resort has touched us deeply from the first second and magnetized properly. Already after the second visit within only 2 months we decided to purchase a beautiful Golfside Villa directly at the first fairway. Have fallen in love with this unique oasis of perfection, service quality and hospitality full of positive energy.

This place has earned at least 5 stars. He is perfectly geared towards green fee players. At the parking lot you will be picked up. The check-in very quick and very friendly. But the best thing is the varied layout and the perfect maintenance of the place and the entire system. The hit also the service! Water and fruit at the start, on the lap the Marshall came twice and provided us with cold soup! This place is really worth every euro!

For me, the best place I've ever played on the Costa del Sol. Here you get a golfing experience, which is second to none. From arrival to departure we felt welcome and well cared for. The only negative of this place is that it ends after 18 holes :)

No question, the place is one of the best in the region. From the club / hotel area on Caddymaster, pick-up service at the parking lot, free fruit + drinks on the round, food ordering directly on the Buggy screen and the place itself excellently created AND maintained (end of July!). Played the first time in the wind today. The first 9 years are then preprogrammed for lottery, ball loss. Nevertheless... only to be recommended.

Great golfing experience!
Reviewed July 8, 2018
We played the course in July 2017. From the arrival to the departure an experience. Service is taken seriously. Already from the parking lot we and our golf bags were picked up with a buggy. We were driven to the front desk, the bags on Carts ready for the round. Very friendly reception in the pro shop, in which there are also a lot of logware to buy. On the range are available ball pyramids, unfortunately discounts only from mats. When we were ready for the round, we were escorted to the start.
The entire area including clubhouse is very well maintained!
The place is very spacious, large distances between green and next tee, hilly and therefore probably only playable with Cart, which makes sense. From the back tees is the place long, but also wide. Nevertheless, the balls are lost in ripples with imprecise play. If you do not have a good carry-length, you will not have fun on the back tees, as there are often larger canyons to be overcome by the tea. Nice is that the place gives the choice between the different tea boxes. The place was overall in a great care condition. The carts were also in great shape and equipped with GPS.
When we were playing, there were only two other flights in the game, so a quick game was possible. You probably buy this peace away from the golf masses with the high green fee.
After the round we were greeted very friendly again and cleaned our clubs sparkling.
Food (we had salads) and drinks in the clubhouse good (price level as in Munich), service again very nice.

At the end of February, female Hcp 6 and 18, male Hcp 10, we played here and loved it. This is a very old classic school. Perfect ultra-friendly service, the place is gorgeous. The greens demand precise attack, otherwise a good score can not be achieved. The balls roll off to the side and tactics are also advisable on the fairways. Very fair and not too tight, but crispy long.

Reviewed November 30, 2017
November 30,2017, played after a heavy rain day.
Slightly wet fairways, but top condition. Since you were not allowed to drive on the fairways, something very long ways from the track to the balls. Running did not work, because the distances between green and the highest tea were too long. A little incomprehensible, since hardly any game operation. Nevertheless, as always a pleasure and worth every euro. Services from AZ top.

Reviewed September 26, 2016
Played on 18/09/2016. After five years, we have played the 18-hole course on the Costa del Sol again a second time. At that time European Tour Square have lost none of their charm and their difficulty the railways. Still very spectacular haircuts, the lords of yellow already have some exhibit at length to reach the fairway. Higher HC should choose the front tees, otherwise frustration quickly arises. The service is still 1a. Pickup from the parking lot. Cart with GPS and plenty of water stocked. Fruit and towels on the round are served. The service truck comes every now over. Something has eased the maintenance state. The greens were indeed true and fast, but looked due to some bald and brown spots are not always good. Some bunkers have too little sand or were wet or harsh. Fairways and tees were fine. The current major shortcoming are the various large construction sites around the Course. There are just built overlooked other accommodation. We have played on Sundays, so that at least we had no construction noise. Possibly was due to construction and operation of the game much less than five years ago. A start time can book online anytime at a discount. We have therefore played a relaxed round of € 195 incl. Cart and range balls. However, the usually green fee is clearly too high for the current state. The staff are all very friendly. From caddy master to the staff in the restaurant where you can eat on a small terrace Sonnenbeschirmten delicious and still moderate prices after the round. Golf Finca Cortisin can be recommended, but you should check in advance how far interfere with the construction work.

Very crossed... and very expensive
Reviewed May 3, 2016
Played on 22 April 2016. The reception is good. It will be driven up to the shuttle and the bags. The clubhouse and locker rooms are impressively beautiful and well maintained. The reception in the Reception rather dry and rudimentary what information terms.
The driving range and the putting green very nice and very well maintained.
And then the disillusionment: the Teemarkierungen are partially placed on the boxes of the Ladies to the game "to keep liquid". The 2 electric trolleys must be replaced after 4 holes. All 18 fairways are thin and gray. Semi-rough non-existent, old dry grass. In such bad condition was none of the 5 played courses in the area. And the Greens unfaithful and dull. Messing disappointing; especially for this price. Clubhouse terrace in the late afternoon completely shaded and very small.
The restaurant at Hotel dignified, service very good. But has its price.
All in all, an experience that we do not need to repeat. 4 The tourist places Alferini, Flamingos, Guadalmina, la Quinta were significantly better maintained.

The place is certainly one of the best on the Costa del Sol.
The condition is excellent and the greens were perfect!
This one will be met at the parking lot found my mates also great to me is something totally honest sausage! For me, a place is always only world class when it max. 1-2 has weaker tracks without Wow effect and Finca Cortesin has 6-8 top pathways but also more boring 3-4. Valderrama is playing a very different caliber! Finca Cortesin is to stay with me in Spain in a row with La Reserva, Emporda, Las Colinas and PGA Catalunya!
In places such as Valderrama or El Saler he can not ran out of my sight!

We played all the "big" places the region in a week in November - Finca Cortesin was unanimously our favorite.
US like it is collected right at the parking lot, the clubhouse is beautifully built on the mountain. GPS carts and range balls at the tip-top range are waiting for the player.
The whole place is in a great condition, Fairway, such as carpet, beautiful botany and water hazards. Very varied holes. Time over a ravine, sometimes in a cauldron, sometimes with a "botany" area, everything was great. Greens fast as everyone in the region.
The course is not on the sea, you can see this from only a few holes. Much more you play more at the edge of the mountains. Nevertheless, one must take into account the wind.
A yellow tea box was not available - I appreciate the stylish Teemarker are popular collectible items and we were quite late with our round.
During the round of Ranger has brought a bag of apples and bananas - great service.
Also the restaurant after the round has provided us good. All around a successful day, even if it was not cheap (144 € pp + cart).

Highest expectations - not met
Reviewed May 7, 2014
Played on 03.19.2014, HCP 13
Anyone with more than EUR 150, - about twice as high green fee demands as other very good courses nearby, who advertises with Sweeps PGA and outstanding service, sets high expectations, and it must also be put up on these measured to be.
Unfortunately, the system can equal this in several ways not fulfill.
Landscape of the place would be quite nice (aesthetically pleasing Botany) - but it lacks highlights how great panorama with spectacular sea views, sensational mountains or the like. In addition, the eye is always half-finished houses on construction sites, cranes, power poles and lines and several panels on an ugly, modern, functional, highway bridge. From this highway and the construction sites also comes from time to time and a considerable noise level, therefore, is simply annoying. Only in the last third of the plant, there is true peace.
The tracks themselves are in particular whether the length (5.884m from the "regular" yellow tees) and the many bunkers not easy - the wind it will probably really hard. Since some of the yellow tees were closed due to maintenance work, (6.351m) was here on the white teas dodged - then there are quite ever asked well over 150m carry to even reach the fairway off the tee! Also partly because of the rather long way from the green to the next tee is absolutely recommended a Cart - moreover, the carts are equipped with a GPS that in the first information about the execution of the paths are (detailed tee signs are missing viz).
The greens are spacious, not necessarily easy to read, but rather unspectacular.
The bunkers are very well maintained, which can not be said of the fairways. The typical landing zones are littered with non-repaired divots, the fairways generally every now and again more brown than green. Actually space workers were sufficiently available - in particular the first 3-4 tracks ruled noise strong "care operation" - a pity we had hoped that our start time (Wednesday, about 12:00 noon) would perhaps be no appreciable space work.
Some tracks require blind shots, which can guide you through the often "hanging" Fairways easy to locations in the semi-rough (or worse), even if the ball was "actually" played cleanly's short Mowed - slightly unfair for all space without knowledge.
The service is attentive and anxious. It's great that (good TaylorMade-quality) and enough water for the round are free range balls, and that between fresh fruit will be served. But why the cart from the parking lot to the driving range and after the round has to be reduced by service personnel again while the player is allowed to go on foot, not opens up to me. If taken after the round the bag by service personnel in reception and only later, when the players come from the shower / from the restaurant brought to the car, the thugs could also be cleaned the same. As far as service is, however, despite the horrendous green fees but unfortunately not in there...
Conclusion: Once happy, but for the price not again. The place could possibly scarce deserves 4 stars - because of value for money but it falls significantly behind other places in the region. (In the "Bear Golf Ranking": 5 out of 10 points).

So a reception, one imagines in the pros. We were not quite in the parking lot, since you took charge of us. The bags were immediately loaded onto the E-Car and drove straight to the driving range. After we paid, we could have hit us yet free. The electric cars were equipped with a cooler which were filled with several bottles of water. Along the way you brought us several bags of apples and bananas. This place must have necessarily played, he really has everything a golfer expects. Here, the entry fee is absolutely relative.

The reception at the car park 1a, as well as the service of caddy master and secretary before the first tee. Then if you're on your own to begin the challenge. Lightning-fast greens, sloping fairways on nearly every hole, deep roughs with pitfalls, bunkers everywhere and long, accurate tee. The course is a single challenge of 1-18. And with wind still comes to an additional difficulty. The quality of tees, fairways and greens is perfect. No wonder found here several times VOLVO Match Play Championships. Who the first visit played across his handicap, is unconditionally to be envied... Finca Cortesin was my end of the season - and my deepest score of the year... But I'll be back!

Played on 8 October 2011. At first the finding that this European Tour course is worth every euro green fee. And who is saved even 15% owned by a Golf Fee Card. The place itself is very well maintained and absolutely a challenge for all players. HC 28 for men is justified. However, it is also called "normal golfer" with a strategic game well over the round. There are some very interesting holes, there have various height differences and habitats will be dubbed. The round is very varied. Every time again! Particularly noteworthy is the service. In Cart (highly recommended / with GPS) refers to the deposited there is free water in the fridge, up on the driving range is free of charge, during the round bananas and apples will be served after the round and the clubs are of course cleaned. The ladies at the counter are friendly and give some tips on how to best save on green fees. The only downside we have seen that despite the confirmed starting time (2 days ago) and a late start time in the afternoon then had a start time delay of 20 minutes and a very slow flight before us, which unfortunately had no idea of etiquette. But for that the system can not and we could not spoil the good mood.
