Mon 24.07.2023 Marbella, Spain - Finca Cortesin Golf Club The resort course has been designed with an American touch and is a treat for the eyes, as well as a golfing delight. Extremely wide fairways await you on your round, with more than 100 bunkers and some pronounced undulations. The course has an open design so that there are plenty of breathtaking, far-reaching views to be seen as you play.
Cadiz/Spain, 8.00 - 18.00 hrs
Tue 25.07.2023 Cadiz, Spain - Montenmedio Golf & Country Club - (additional course) In the hills of Cadiz, the broad fairways stretch through an impressive collection of mature trees. The vegetation also repeatedly demands precision from players. Those who stray from the fairway will have trouble finding their ball again. The rather tricky greens with their treacherous bunkers don't make this course any easier to play, but the captivating views of typical white villages such as Vejer de la Frontera, Benalup and Medina will reward players before the final scores are totted up.
