I am "glad" that Jimbo63 was not sure about the elevations on the real course in Malaga because if this version is real close to it, then you will definitely have aches and pain at the end of your day !
With plenty of elevation, sometimes quite steep, slanted and/or sloped fairways, blind tee shots, and some well-placed bunkers, this par 72 is unlike many courses and is quite challenging.
For once, the par-4 1st hole is not representative on what you will face on this course as it is "almost" flat, compared to most of the other holes. The par-3 2nd, for example, has a blind tee shot, a slanted fairway and bunkers around the downhill green, whereas the dogleg par-5 3rd hole, one of my favorites, requires a steep uphill blind tee shot to reach the downhill slope, before aiming for the green with a lake on the left side to watch for.
Another blind tee shot is needed on the par-4 4th hole to fly over the lake and (hopefully) reach the downhill green but, as Jimbo63 said, this short hole (only 253-yard long) should have been a par-3...
After the nice par-5 5th hole and its two uphill shots, another blind tee shot awaits you on the par-3 6th to reach the green below the sloped fairway, before facing two of my other favorite holes on the front 9.
The right dogleg par-5 8th hole, with its nice panoramic view from the tee box, a big patch of high grass in the middle of the fairway and a slightly elevated green, is very scenic and quite "flat", compared to the left dogleg par-4 9th, with its very steep uphill tee shot, heavily-slanted fairway and downhill green...
The back 9 is no pushover either, with the very tough left dogleg par-5 11th hole with, again, a steep uphill tee shot, a twisted fairway with a steep downhill slope and trees in the way hiding the view of the fairway and the green, making it almost impossible to get an eagle.
If you still have enough strength, you might want to try to reach the green of the par-4 14th hole (about 290 yard-long) but, with its steep uphill tee shot and bunkers in front of the green, good luck !
The following hole is the most spectacular on the whole course : with its vertiginous drop, the left dogleg par-4 15th hole has a gorgeous panoramic view, a slanted fairway, and a little creek on the left side with 5 bunkers nearby, and another 4 bunkers guarding the green : simply awesome...
After "surviving" this hole, the downhill right dogleg par-4 16th, and the par-3 17th, with its elevated green, will seem "easy"... As for the left dogleg par-5 18th hole, quite scenic with houses and a sports complex overlooking the green, it has a downhill slope, a slanted fairway, and is quite short giving you one last chance to putt for an eagle and/or birdie.
Finca Cortesin has definitely a look of its own and, whether or not the elevation reflects the reality does not matter, as Jimbo63 did a great job with this course and should be thanked for all his time and efforts...

fun course and a real roller coaster, many thanks for sharing another great design

Nice work on this one. i really dig the elevation changes...any course that has 35 -50 yard drops is gonna be fun to play...tough plot and you did a great job cuttin the course into those slopes.

Nice touch on the driving range and plantings behind the clubhouse...thanks for this

Well done mr.Jimbo
Four and a half stars rating!

I had my shot of Cortizone..err Cortesin and I nice course as well! plenty to go wrong on this one! tricky approach shots and I loked the view from the 15th Tee not an easy round but enjoyable challenge. one for the keeper file

Another enjoyable course Jimbo and you are certainly improving with every course you make.The fourth hole was a par four.,it would have been better as a par three. My favorite hole was the ninth with its rolling,twisting fairway. Anyway it was all excellent work and more power to your elbow.

Very enjoyable course to play,smooth and nice layout, tks for sharing
