Golfing at La Manga Club
La Manga Club has always been a fantastic golf holiday destination, and with its three championship courses and outstanding practice facilities, it is perhaps hardly surprising that it has been voted Europe's top golf holiday resort twice in the past five years. The resort has also recently been chosen as the official winter training base of the German PGA.
La Manga Club has played host to many international tournaments including the Spanish Open, PGA Spanish Championships, Spanish Junior Championships, Ladies' Spanish Open and Senior Spanish Open for men.
The three world class, 18-hole championship courses all benefit from uniquely tranquil surroundings and provide many superb views. Whether you are fine-tuning your technique or learning the rudiments of the game, La Manga Club offers a truly diverse and unique golfing holiday experience.
South Course
Originally designed by Robert D Putman, this classic championship course was remodelled in 1992 by Arnold Palmer, who won the La Manga Spanish Open here in 1975.
Located in the centre of the valley, with wide palm-fringed fairways and few hidden dangers, the South, whilst being a top-calibre championship course, is enjoyed by golfers of all standards. Many strategically positioned water hazards and bunkers will punish wayward shots. Length 6361 metres, par 72.
North Course
Recently completely renovated, the North Course is now, for many players, the golfing highlight at La Manga Club. The North Course is more undulating than the South and offers a different, yet no less challenging, round of golf. Relying on precision rather than length, an added challenge is provided by the 'barrancas' that snake their way through the course.
These natural storm gullies feature on all three golf courses and add an extra dimension to the game. As with the South Course, and particularly on the back nine, water is a prominent feature.
West Course
Set amid serene pine woodlands, the West Course has frequent changes in elevation with which to contend. This is a deceiving course that demands the occasional blind shot. A tight front nine contrasts with the more open, but nonetheless challenging, back nine.
Those who get the better of the charming and elusive West Course will have played a memorable round. |
