Solheim Cup. Solheim Cup 2023 in Spain has a big impact on the country's economy

Solheim Cup has many positive effects in Spain’s economy

Arturo Bernal, the Minister of Tourism, Culture, and Sports for the Junta de Andalucia, went to Finca Cortesin, in the Costa del Sol, to see for himself how the Solheim Cup 2023 is being prepared.

82.000 tickets have already been sold for the event, which takes place from September 18th to 24th, and the organisers expect a full house. Bernal said, “We’re going to see a show that will stay with us forever, and its effects are already being felt on every level”.

Some changes have been made to the course’s path so that it can meet the needs of the Solheim Cup. The new hole 1 makes it possible to build a platform that can hold 3,000 people. This will let fans get very close to the golfers.

The counsellor thinks that the Solheim Cup will bring in 200 million euros from the media. “We also think that the direct and secondary effects will add up to about 300 million euros. We’re talking about a global impact of about 500 million euros, with an event that will not only make Andalusia and Malaga a place of reference but also create a new icon of golf courses around the world”, he said, referring to Finca Cortesin.

Bernal also wanted to point out that the drought was especially hard on the Junta de Andalucia and the golf industry. In this way, he said, “80% of the golf clubs in Andalusia use recycled water to water their greens. And the rest that can’t, are watering their plants with non-potable water.

Sotogrande prepared unique events

Sotogrande is celebrating its 60th anniversary this year with a series of activities that will highlight the transformation that has taken place in this ideal destination for golf holidays over the last 60 years.

This is a diamond anniversary, so there will be lots of fun things to do for locals and tourists.

The 60th anniversary celebrations go off on April 23, with a paddle surfing competition, which is guaranteed to be a hit with the younger crowd. There will be a series of races separated into several categories, then an awards presentation and a cocktail party.

And then, on May 1st, there will be a solidarity race at the Puerto Deportivo de Sotogrande. Participants will have the option of running either 5 or 10 km. All proceeds will be donated to two local charities, Coordinadora Alternativas and Por Una Sonrisa.

The Sotogrande way of life will be celebrated all spring and summer long with a full schedule of golf, polo, music, and cultural activities.

The final event of this special year is a golf tournament, on August 5th, at La Reserva Club golf course.

Sotogrande, in the Costa del Sol, is one of the most popular golf holiday destinations in Europe due to the world-class golf courses, like Valderrama and Real Sotogrande, often among the best courses in Europe.

It’s also important to mention that this area was officially declared the best golf destination in Spain recently.

Sotogrande has some of the best golf courses in Spain

The website Top100GolfCourses.com, which is devoted to ranking and analysing golf courses, has recently determined that Sotogrande, which is located on the Costa del Sol, is the best destination to play golf in Spain.

The Real Club Valderrama has been named the best golf course in Spain for the second year in a row. The golf course is used to host elite events, like the Ryder Cup in 1997, and it will host a LIV Golf event in June.

Real Club de Golf Sotogrande, the area’s oldest golf course, recently jumped to second place in the national rating, highlighting the high calibre of the area’s golfing options, which are among the best in Europe.

La Reserva Club, ranked 13th, adds credibility to the region’s golf scenario, as does Almenara Golf, a club with 27 holes that was recently remodelled by the renowned Manuel Piñero.

“According to the most up-to-date standings in Spain, Sotogrande is hands down the finest place to play golf. Having the area’s golf facilities rated so highly is especially satisfying because the strength of golf throughout the region is recognized”, said Rita Jordão, Sotogrande’s Director of Sales and Marketing.

“We are constantly investing in our properties in Sotogrande SA and, together with the other Sotogrande clubs, we are committed to continually providing the best facilities for our residents, members and visitors”, added Rita Jordão.
