Course Details

Valderrama Golf Sotogrande

Valderrama Golf is the jewel in the crown here in Spain and arguably Europe.

The course is completely covered in cork trees overlapping the lush green fairways making some driving and approach shots very difficult indeed, but then you wouldn’t want this golf course to be easy!

You get a feeling when you stand on the 1st tee and the starter announces the start of what is an amazing round of golf that you are standing where “Sevi” stood and many other greats of the golf world and that is why playing Valderrama is a must for any golfer.

The fairway are inviting and fair but you have to pay attention to the course planner otherwise after hitting what you might think is a great shot………….be disappointed to find your shot has left you without a clear shot to hit the green in 2 say on a par 4, remember to BUY A COURSE PLANNER!

This is a must play course here on the Costa Del Sol.

Finca Cortesin hosted the Volvo World Matchplay from 2009 until 2012.

2009 – Winner Ross Fisher – 2011 – Ian Poulter – 2012 – Nicolas Colsaerts.

Very near the Mediterranean Sea and in a privileged area of Andalusia, Finca Cortesin has become a reference in the world of golf. At almost 7,000 meters from the back tees it is considered one of the longest courses in Europe.

The natural environment and landscape of Cortesin are one of it’s most attractive features. The player will remain immersed in a green paradise which is not surrounded by real state developments.
