Origins

Finca Cortesín's course was developed as part of the Casares resort in the mid-2000s. The Royal Spanish Golf Federation records the club's foundation in 2006 and credits American architect Cabell B. Robinson with the design.

Did You Know?
The 2023 Solheim Cup was the first Solheim Cup staged in Spain.

Design Philosophy

Robinson routed the course across rolling terrain, using elevation changes, broad landing areas and strategic bunkering. Landscaping by Gerald Huggan helped integrate the course into the surrounding Mediterranean environment.

Development

International tournament golf arrived quickly. The Volvo World Match Play Championship moved from Wentworth to Finca Cortesín in 2009 and returned in 2011 and 2012. The resort later prepared for the 2023 Solheim Cup, further establishing the course as a major match-play venue.

Recognition

The course's tournament record includes winners Ross Fisher, Ian Poulter and Nicolas Colsaerts in its three Volvo World Match Play editions. Its international profile increased again when Europe and the United States tied 14-14 in the 2023 Solheim Cup, allowing Europe to retain the trophy.

Today

Finca Cortesín remains an 18-hole resort course with extensive practice and teaching facilities, including a Nicklaus Academy. The resort provides GPS buggies, range balls and practice access as part of its golf service.
