As evening unfolds, explore Marbella’s charming Old Town, wander the iconic Golden Mile, or indulge in beachfront dining where Mediterranean waves provide the perfect soundtrack.

Day 3 – A Spanish Reverie in Ronda
Take a pause from chasing PGA trophies by soaking up the revered atmosphere of Ronda, Spain’s “City of Dreams.” Wander through centuries-old streets perched high above the El Tajo Gorge. Don’t look down as you enjoy sweeping views of the Serranía de Ronda while crossing the iconic Puente Nuevo bridge. And visit the birthplace of modern bullfighting, where the likes of Ernest Hemingway fell in love with Spain’s ethos of grabbing life by the horns.
Return to Marbella and cap off the day with a perfect stroll through chic boutiques, a beach club escape, or a restorative spa session, before another day of hitting the links.
Day 4 – Picture-Perfect Golf & Relaxation
Today, school’s back in session at the Finca Cortesín’s Jack Nicklaus Academy. Grab the clubs and unlock the fundamentals that led Jack Nicklaus to 18 Major Championships, with new techniques driving (pun intended) your swing toward perfection. Beyond learning the nuances of trajectory, distance, and precision, have stunning mountain-to-sea vistas elevate the confidence behind every stroke, taking your game toward Marbella’s sun-kissed skies.
After giving your all on the course, embrace pure indulgence. Unwind at the resort’s award-winning spa, drifting between an 80-ft salt-water pool, personal trainers, and soothing treatments. Or bask at the exclusive beach club, where quintessential seaside charm provides the perfect backdrop for well-earned relaxation.
Day 5 – Golfing Nirvana & Spanish Cooking Class
With two lessons under your belt, return to Finca Cortesín’s Jack Nicklaus Academy for your final private session, where everything begins to “click,” and perfect technique meets Mediterranean bliss. Using the academy’s technology-driven insight paired with human coaching, finally reach that moment when a good swing becomes a truly effortless one, and you seize that addictive feeling when the ball sails exactly where you intended.
After achieving golfing enlightenment, pursue a culinary one as you follow one of the resort’s acclaimed chefs, such as Lutz Bösing, in crafting exquisite Spanish dishes, before savoring the delicious results and letting them fill your last leisurely evening with flavorsome triumph.
Day 6 – Departure
Now that you’re halfway to becoming a PGA pro, it’s time to take your game back home.
