Hole 1

Par 4 Dist. 431 mts A perfect hole to start with a beautiful tee shot to a very wide fairway. The second shot requires great precision as the green is well protected by a huge bunker on the left. If you miss the green right you will face a very fast downhill chip. The green is huge but fair.

Hole 2

Par 3 Dist. 218 mts First Par 3. Long hole demands a very precise tee shot. The green is surrounded by bunkers that can make up and downs difficult. The green has several small landing areas. Better to leave a putt under the hole to avoid a horrible downhiller. Be aware of the wind as the tees are slightly elevated.

Hole 3

Par 5 Dist. 495 mts Beautiful Par 5. All the great assets a great golf hole should have: wide fairway, great views and payoff if you get to the small green. Long hitters be careful with the lay up as water comes into play. Main characteristics of this green are the absence of bunkers and great views of the Mediterranean.

Hole 4

Par 4 Dist. 305 mts Long hitters face a great challenge playing this hole. The green is within range but a huge lake protects it from all tee shots not perfectly struck. For those not going for the green, a long iron or fairway wood is the right choice. Beware of the slopes on the green and the difficult pin positions.

Hole 5

Par 5 Dist. 526 mts A great Par 5. The fairway becomes tighter the closer you get to the green. Very few players reach it in two, but many will be tempted. The green is extremely narrow for a long hole. It demands much precision when attacking the flag. Many nicely shaped bunkers protect the green.

Hole 6

Par 3 Dist. 226 mts Very long Par 3 with a huge green. Avoid leaving your tee shot short of the green. All bunkers protecting the flag are very deep and will leave you with blind shots.

Hole 7

Par 4 Dist. 452 mts Longest Par 4 on the Costa del Sol and stroke index 1. Very wide fairway. Tee shot must avoid all bunkers to reach the green. Second shot requires a long iron to a big green. A very fast green with downhill putts can ruin chances of making Par. Only top level golfers putt for birdie.

Hole 8

Par5 Dist. 525 mts Very difficult Par 5 with a very tight fairway. Tee shot must be faded to avoid bunkers on the left. Long hitters should probably go with a fairway wood off the tee. Second requires great strategy as bunkers and heavy rough surround the lay-up area.

Hole 9

Par 4 Dist. 348 mts Short Par 4, great holes don't have to be long. Easy tee shot to wide fairway but difficult approach to green. Most players will go for the green with a short iron, but the green is small so many will miss and face a delicate chip shot.

Hole 10

Par 3 Dist. 207 mts One of the best holes on the course. Spectacular Par 3 with great views of Estepona Mountains. The green is not very long or very small (Spanish guitar shaped) but is well protected by a water hazard on the right. Be careful of the wind. Club selection is always difficult from an elevated tee.

Hole 11

Par 5 Dist. 573 mts Double dog-leg Par 5. A very wide fairway and a blind second shot to a small landing area covered with bunkers. A beautiful natural stream runs along the right of the hole. With almost 600 meters a very few will have a chance to put for birdie.

Hole 12

Par 3 Dist. 205 mts Number 12 will be a difficult hole to forget. Elevated tees to a huge green surrounded by several deep bunkers. It's the biggest putting area on the course and one of the most difficult ones to read.

Hole 13

Par 4 Dist. 383 mts Finca Cortesin's Signature hole. Par 4. The drive is played to a wide fairway, avoiding a water hazard running across the front of the green. Bunkers right and left. The green is large and sloping, allowing several pin positions that equally affect both the approach shot and the putting.

Hole 14

Par 4 Dist. 323 mts Short Par 4 that will see many birdies and probably eagles. The designer decided to give players a break after a few very long holes. Wide fairway, big green and many bunkers that make this hole truly beautiful, especially viewed from the clubhouse.

Hole 15

Par 4 Dist. 414 mts One of the most demanding holes on the course. Tee shot is very difficult since a huge water stream must be flown to reach the fairway. Second shot will probably face an uneven lie to a small and well protected elevated green.

Hole 16

Par 4 Dist. 424 mts Great hole to face at the end of a round. Long, demanding with a very narrow green that has several difficult pin positions. Many bunkers on the left side of the green will make you hit the right side which will leave very fast downhill chip shots.

Hole 17

Par 3 Dist. 162 mts Shortest Par 3 on the course, but without doubt the most technical of all. Precision will be needed when attempting to hit the green. The slopes on this hole make it the most difficult green to putt on. Great views of the Estepona Mountains.

Hole 18

Par 5 Dist. 519 A great finishing hole. This Par 5 it is a great finishing hole that allows big hitters to really smash the driver. The lay up must be precised to give us the opportunity to approach a narrow green. Good estrategy will help us to have a good chance of birdie.
