Noemí Jiménez took time out from her globetrotting tournament schedule to help Finca Cortesín Hotel, Golf & Spa celebrate Women’s Golf Day. The 23-year-old Marbella-born European Tour star hosted an exclusive golf clinic for female golfers of all ages and abilities as part of Finca Cortesín’s commemorative event on Tuesday 6 June.
Beginners and more experienced players enjoyed a two-hour lesson with Jiménez – who was ranked third in the world amateur rankings in 2015 before turning professional – in a fun and friendly setting at the deluxe Spanish resort.
Ladies also had the chance to play nine holes on Finca Cortesín’s award-winning 18-hole championship course before those attending rounded off the four-hour afternoon event in style with a well-deserved cocktail.
Launched last year, the global Women’s Golf Day initiative encourages women and girls of all abilities to participate. Hundreds of venues in around 50 countries hosted special events this year.
Opened in March 2009 and set across a vast 215-hectare estate, Finca Cortesín is one of Europe’s most exclusive contemporary golf and lifestyle destination resorts, and was recently named “Best Golf Resort in Europe” by users of the website Leadingcourses.com.
Designed by renowned architect Cabell Robinson, the resort’s championship course has hosted numerous high-profile tournaments including the Volvo World Match Play Championship in 2009, 2011 and 2012. Complementing the par-72 layout are outstanding practice facilities including a state-of-the-art Jack Nicklaus Golf Academy.
Located in the hills between Marbella and Sotogrande, Finca Cortesín’s other world-class facilities include an elegant 67-suite hotel, Hotel Cortesin, a 6,000 square metre beach club and an award-winning spa featuring Spain’s only snow cave, with bespoke treatments by French beauty brand Boilogique Recherche.
Hotel Cortesín offers the choice of four restaurants including El Jardín de Lutz, serving authentic Spanish cuisine, and the Michelin-starred signature Japanese restaurant Kabuki Raw. The development also features an exclusive collection of villas which are available for purchase or rental.
