The Costa del Sol or Golf as it is now known has over 80 golf courses stretching along its coastline, one of the newest, in fact just 14 years old is the fantastic Finca Cortesin golf course. Situated just a mile or so inland from the ocean, the golf course runs up through the valley adjacent to the village of Casares. This 18 Hole Championship golf course is one of the longest in Europe measuring just over 7,400 yards from the back pegs, although only 11 years old it already holds its own in the world of great golf courses.
