Finca Cortesin Hotel, Golf & Spa has become the 25th member of the European Tour Properties portfolio and only the second Spanish venue to achieve the prestigious European Tour destination status.

Featuring an exclusive collection of villas, available for purchase or rental, the resort joins fellow Spanish venue PGA Catalunya Resort in the network.

“We are delighted to be able to welcome Finca Cortesín to our world-class network,” said David MacLaren, head of European Tour Properties, “and look forward to working with the team to help ensure it maintains its outstanding reputation with both golfers and non-golfers.

“Finca Cortesín already enjoys an enviable reputation and we are greatly looking forward to promoting its wonderful facilities to an even wider audience. We are proud of the shared knowledge we encourage between our member venues and Finca Cortesín will add enormously to this while also being able to benefit from a privileged relationship with the European Tour, and our wide-ranging resources.”

Added Miguel Girbés, director of golf at Finca Cortesín Hotel, Golf & Spa, “It’s a great honour for Finca Cortesín to be joining the European Tour Properties network, one of the world’s most respected golf organisations.

“Having hosted a number of high-profile tournaments, including the Volvo World Match Play Championship, Finca Cortesín has come a long way in a short space of time. It was a logical step to become a part of the network, and we’re excited at the opportunities that this new relationship will bring.”

Concluded Rene Zimmer, general manager at Finca Cortesín Hotel, Golf & Spa, “We’re very privileged to be joining European Tour Properties, a group that features some of the game’s most famous and celebrated names.

“We believe that membership will help us to not only continue to deliver an outstanding experience to our guests, but also to assist in increasing our influence in new and existing international markets.”
