Únete a nosotros en España
Let’s be honest. After the past 2 years, we all deserve a nice vacation!!!
One of our goals as a Professional Staff is to continue to find new and exciting offerings to provide the membership at Lookout Point. One of the many reasons you choose to join a private golf course such as ours, is to get access to new and exciting experiences. With that in mind, we are thrilled to present (for the first time) what we hope will be an annual or bi-annual tradition. In March of 2023 (20th - 28th) we will be heading to the Andalusia region of Spain for an 8 night “Cant be missed” golfing & cultural experience.
With the help of “Golf Away Tours” we have developed a fantastic itinerary that provides a great combination of pre-planned experiences and golf outings (including playing the #1 rated course in continental Europe - “Real Club Valderrama”.) The itinerary has been designed specifically with couples in mind, as it features plenty of downtime for you to explore the sights, sounds, & beaches of the Costa Del Sol, from the home base of Marbella, Spain.
MARBELLA, SPAIN
Welcome to Marbella, Spain. Marbella is, without a doubt, one of the Costa del Sol's major tourist centres, thanks to the high quality of the facilities and services it provides.
But Marbella is also a paradise for golf lovers. A dozen magnificent courses allow golfers to play in between the amazing backdrop of the Mediterranean sea and the Andalusian mountain ranges. The historic part of town, sitting on a beautiful bay, shelters lovely corners of a typically Andalusian flavour, with whitewashed houses and orange trees adorning the streets and squares. With 26km of beaches & coastline, the nightlife, restaurants & shopping experiences in the Puerto Banús area - you wont have a problem finding somewhere to explore or unique things to do.

"Amàre" not only means "love" but also gives the feel of the "sea" and displays a very natural and unforgettable world that you will not be able to resist.
Amàre Marbella is a unique hotel in Costa del Sol that brings together the perfect ingredients for a delightful stay: it's an adults only hotel, on the beachfront and close to Marbella's old town.

There's no detail that has been passed over to give you the best imaginable holidays for couples. Savour the beauty of the sea at Amàre Beach, dive into relaxation lying in the Amàre Pool or just switch off in the Amàre Lounge .
THE GOLF COURSES
1. Real Club Valderrama
Valderrama is one of the best maintained courses in the World and has been regularly included among the Top 100 courses in the World since 1989.
Many people will know the course from TV coverage since it has hosted a plethora of professional tournaments, including the 1997 Ryder Cup, Volvo Masters, The WGC-American Express Championship, and currently hosts the Andalucia Masters on the European Tour each October. It is widely recognized as the “Augusta of Europe”.
#38 in the World - Golf Digest
#1 in Europe
#1 in Spain
2. Finca Cortesin
Finca Cortesin is ranked one of Spain’s best golf courses by the prestigious Golf Digest Magazine.
Finca Cortesin is the host site of the 2023 Solheim Cup and has hosted the Volvo World Match Play Championship in 2009, 2011 & 2012.
In 2017, Finca Cortesin underwent a significant renovation of all 18 greens. A video showcasing that transformation is embedded below.
3. Real Sotogrande Golf Club
The course Real Club de Golf Sotogrande is considered as one of the masterpieces of Robert Trent Jones who chose this course as one of his five favorites from more than 500 courses he designed worldwide according to what he wrote in his book GOLF – THE MAGNIFICIENT CHALLENGE – published in 1988.
The quality of the course is very well reflected by the quality of the champions over a period of many years. Among others there are Severiano Ballesteros, Jose María Olazabal, Roberto de Vicenzo, Sergio García, Padraig Harrington or Rory McIlroy.
4. La Reserva Club
Carved into the hillside with stunning vistas down to the Mediterranean Sea and up to the Andalusian hills, La Reserva’s 18-hole championship course was designed by acclaimed golf course architect Cabell B. Robinson. Opened in 2003, with wide, sweeping fairways that lead on to large greens, gentle but challenging undulations, and a birds’ nest location high up on the escarpment, it has fast become a must-play for any golfer visiting southern Spain – and a fitting next chapter in Sotogrande’s proud golfing legacy.
5. San Roque - Old Course
The legendary Old Course at The San Roque Club is steeped in history, hosting 15 consecutive European Tour Schools from 1993-2007 and the Spanish Open in 2005. Some of the greats of the game ignited their careers here and have gone on to win major championships.
Dave Thomas and Tony Jacklin designed the Old course and it opened for play in 1990 at an alleged cost of $1million per hole. It remained pretty much unchanged until Seve Ballesteros made changes to the bunkering.
RONDA, SPAIN
Included in the trip is a Day Tour to Ronda, Spain with an English Speaking Guide. On this tour you will experience a 3 hour walking tour of the historic city of Ronda, followed by a gourmet lunch and wine tasting at the luxurious Cortijo Los Aguilares winery. The day tour includes:
Ronda visit for 3 hours
Tajo de Ronda: impressive geographical accident of about 100 meters deep, dividing the city in two: New and Old.
Puente nuevo: New bridge: you have to see it to believe it, if you think it was built in the eighteenth century. Without electricity and only with the materials of the place.
Casa Don Bosco: One of the few possibilities to see a house of the recent local bourgeoisie. And the best views of Ronda, on El Tajo.
Santa María la Mayor: Built on the old main mosque. The Mihrab is still preserved. Its construction lasted so long, that we can follow the Gothic, the Renaissance, the Baroque and the modern, in the excellent oils of Raimonde Pagegie.
Plaza de Toros (Bullring): one of the oldest in Spain.
Wine Tour & Lunch
THIS TOUR WILL OPEN YOU THE DOORS OF OUR HOME, THE CORTIJO. AFTER A PRIVATE TOUR OF THE ESTATE, YOU WILL SIT AT OUR TABLE IN THE UNIQUE SET-UP OF A TRADITIONAL ANDALUSIAN “CORTIJO” KITCHEN, NEXT TO A WARM FIRE IN WINTER OR ON A FLOWERED AND SHADED TERRACE IN THE SUMMER.

Wine-pairing private lunch hosted by our wine specialist
