Marbella Club Golf Resort
Andalucia » Finca Cortesín
The Finca Cortesín Golf Club was founded with the intention
of becoming a reference in the golf world. The course measures
almost 7000 m. from the black marker stakes, making it one of the
longest in Europe. It is a par 72 course, with an average difficulty
rating, although difficulty will increase if the back markers are
used. The different teeing areas and the wide rolling fairways
allow most players to reach the green easily. Harald Hurgan,
the internationally renowned landscape architect, collaborated
with Cabell Robinson, the course designer, on the surrounding
landscaping. Together, the two designers have succeeded in
preserving the natural features of the area, establishing a balance
between natural grass, undergrowth and lawns.
