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.

Finca Cortesin appoints new ambassador

Finca Cortesin, host of the 2023 Solheim Cup, has appointed Spanish professional and Ladies European Tour (LET) player Ana Peláez as its new ambassador to mark the approaching six-month countdown to the tournament.

The LET star further solidifies Finca Cortesin’s reputation as one of the top quality and lifestyle destinations in the world, while also demonstrating the resort’s dedication to supporting women’s sports.

A native of the Costa del Sol, Ana Peláez has stood out last year for her technical ability and her precision in the game, after having achieved victory at the Madrid Ladies Open in May 2022.

The 25-year-old Spaniard has high hopes of making Suzann Pettersen’s European team in September and is widely regarded as one of the country’s promising young players.

“It is an incredible opportunity to represent Finca Cortesin and have their unconditional support as I play week after week on the Ladies European Tour. Playing and training in the Solheim Cup 2023 venue is amazing and will boost my career”, said Peláez.

“The resort has a great track record of supporting local women and girls in the industry by providing them with the necessary conditions to succeed”, concluded.

“Finca Cortesin is delighted to welcome Ana Peláez as an ambassador. Having Ana as an ambassador for the resort will help us to consolidate our position as the venue for the Solheim Cup but also contributes to promoting golf among the new generation of Spanish golfers”, said Vicente Rubio, general director and president of Finca Cortesin.

“The resort is eager to collaborate with Ana to highlight the significance of Spain’s first-ever hosting of the Solheim Cup. We are dedicated to giving you all you need to fight for a place on the European squad in September of this year as the event’s host”, Rubio continued.
