No golf holiday to the south of Spain should pass without playing at least one of the two san roque's. Our group of 16 played the old and the new this September and not one single complaint was heard. These are two of the best courses we have ever played. After playing the old course we did a straw poll over a few beers to see which course everybody preferred and we ended up with a 50% split. The opening 3 holes on the new course were a real taste of what was to come and when we saw the index 17.... Fabulolus clubhouse with very friendly staff and no rip of prices.

]]> Comment on Finca Cortesin by Brian Moynihan http://www.golfinspainnow.com/blog/finca-cortesin/#comment-13 Brian Moynihan Thu, 18 Sep 2008 12:20:11 +0000 http://www.golfinspainnow.com/blog/?p=251#comment-13 Just returned from Spain having played Rio Real, San Roque old, Sotogrande and Finca Cortesin. Finca Cortesin has to be one of the best experiences that i've had on a golf course. From the moment we arrived we were trated like royalty. I had barely parked the car and a staff member was waiting to take our clubs to the first tee. We were then shown where all the amenities were and had a lovely breakfast overlooking the practice area which was superbly set up. When we arrived at our buggy having tsken some time at the complimentary driving range, all our refreshments for the day were already supplied. The course itself is magnificent, absolute immaculate condition from tee to green and a super test of golf. We had barely two holes played and another staff member greeted us with more water and fruit for the round. This continued for the full 18 holes. This, in my opinion, is a must if you are travelling to the south of Spain. The service at Finca Cortesin was fantastic with extremely friendly staff who made us feel very welcome at the Club.
