Club de Golf Nestares 2026 tournament: the full report
Some tournaments stay in your memory long after you sign the card, and the one at Club de Golf Nestares was one of them. Codex Golf had the honour of sponsoring it, of watching the players compete with real appetite and of handing out prizes worthy of the day. This is the report of a day of golf in Cantabria that ended with smiles, handshakes and new bags over shoulders.
The course at Club de Golf Nestares set the stage
Blue sky, high sun and green fairways with the mountains behind. Club de Golf Nestares welcomed the players with that mix of competition and good humour you only get at club tournaments, the ones where you play for pride against the people you share a locker room with the rest of the year.
Next to the fairway they set up the prize table, the club’s cloths on show and the gear waiting for its owners. Around it, the row of banners marking out the route and the meeting point everybody ended up passing through at some moment of the day.
Codex Golf was there from start to finish
Sponsoring a tournament is not about putting up a banner and leaving. At Club de Golf Nestares we were there with our el adn del golf banners, with the prize table set up and, above all, with our hands in the prize-giving, greeting the players one by one as they came in off the course.
Among the prizes there was one with a name of its own: a voucher for a Codex Golf fitting, valid until 31 December 2026. A prize that is not used up in one afternoon, but that keeps working for the player once he gets home and starts thinking about his clubs.
The prize-giving brought everyone together on the grass
The prize-giving at Club de Golf Nestares was the moment of the day. Club bags, boxes of gear, caps, and that group photo that gets repeated at every club but never comes out the same twice. There were hugs, handshakes and more than one joke about the shots of the day.
The good thing about a prize-giving like this is that it does not sort people by handicap. The result is rewarded, yes, but the whole day is celebrated: the ones who signed a great round and the ones who left a ball or two along the way and still went home feeling it had been a perfect day.
The local brands backed the day
A club tournament stands on a lot of people who never appear in the winners’ photo. At Nestares, the row of banners told that story without needing any speeches: Vallucas, Animalario, Albergue Corconte, Fdez Prieto Abogados and CISE were alongside the club together with Codex Golf.
That fabric of local brands is what lets a small club run a tournament with real prizes. And it is also what turns a competition into a date on the calendar that people look forward to from one year to the next.
A well-planned sponsorship leaves its mark on the club
From the sponsor’s side, a day like the one at Club de Golf Nestares is worth far more than an advertising impression. You are standing in front of players who already play the sport, at home, in a moment when they are in a good mood and up for talking about clubs, about the swing and about how to shave off those shots that slip away on the green.
From the club’s side, a sponsorship adds prizes, adds atmosphere and adds reasons for the member to sign up. That is why at Codex Golf we like being at tournaments like this one: you build the relationship with the player better on the 1st tee than in any advert.
Frequently asked questions
Where is Club de Golf Nestares?
Club de Golf Nestares is in Cantabria, in the north of Spain, with a layout surrounded by trees and mountains. It is the setting for the tournament covered in this report.
What is a golf fitting and why is it given as a prize?
A fitting is a study of your clubs to adjust them to your swing: shaft, lie, length, grip and head. It works very well as a prize because it stays with the player all season, not just on tournament day.
How long is the fitting voucher handed out at the tournament valid for?
The voucher handed out carries its validity printed on it: until 31 December 2026. Whoever holds it only needs to contact Codex Golf to book a day.
How do you propose a tournament sponsorship to Codex Golf?
Write to us from the contact page with the date, the club and the format you have in mind. From there we work out what fits each case, just as we did with the Nestares tournament.
