Finca CortesÃn has quickly earned a reputation as one of Europe's premier golf experiences. Designed by Cabell B. Robinson with landscaping by Gerald Huggan, the course winds through a valley in the foothills of the Sierra Bermeja mountains. The layout features lush Bermuda fairways and greens, complemented by more than 20 varieties of flora and tree species and natural Mediterranean vegetation. The routing uses the undulating terrain to great effect; many tees are elevated, providing panoramic views of the countryside and the sea. Finca CortesÃn has hosted high-profile events including the Volvo World Match Play Championship and the 2023 Solheim Cup.
