Finca Cortesin

Finca Cortesin
This is a course I have played numerous of times because it is just so good. You always feel so welcome here. The service is just unbeatable. I believe that the service here at Finca Cortesin is the best on the whole coast. Like most things we all experience different things and have different opinions. My experience of that little extra in the service at Finca Cortesin is that they communicate with you all the time. For example, while my group was ready to get to the first tee after warming up on the driving range we were approached and told that there might be a little delay. This could have been a negative but it was told in such politeness and grace, moreover we were offered solutions what to do instead while waiting. We chose to warm up our putting skills for a few minutes. The food car was also not on duty that day and would not to be expected on the course however we were told to press a button in the buggy if we ever needed anything. It was like ordering room service on the golf course. We were well provided with water in the buggy and fruits to give us energy on the course.

This course is one of the best well kept courses on the coast. There are many tee boxes on each hole which gives variation each time you play. My favorite hole is number 4. It is a short par 4 you can reach from tee with spoon or driver. It is always a risk but a real fun factor. The greens are very well kept, not to fast but smooth.

After yet another pleasant round at Finca Cortesin we headed to the restaurant for a nice lunch. Good food and good service as expected. Our day at Finca Cortesin was heading for its end and we got our last surprise when the clubs were returned cleaned delivered to the car. What more can I say! Well worth a visit maybe?

Valderrama

Ohh yes! What can I say more than... play it! The condition of this course is the best I have ever seen on the coast. Fairway feels like a big green in comparison to other courses around. The course is top ranked in europe and after I played it I can really understand why. Yes, It is extremely expensive, but hey! Once a life time opportunity thing. Bookgolfinspain can offer good discount on this course so it might be worth playing Valderrama after all.
