La Manga Club – North Course
La Manga North Course is an 18 hole, par 71 course that was
designed by Robert Putman. Its undulating contours, including
storm gullies, palm trees, lakes and ‘barrancas’ all create a
unique element to the challenge on offer. Although this
course is slightly shorter than the South course (5753 metres),
its tight fairways demand precision rather than length. The
large greens are all constructed to USGA standards, and
provide a great test of putting. Danger on this course comes in
the form of water hazards and ‘barrancas’ that snake their way
through the course.
La Manga Club – West Course
La Manga West Course is a Dave Thomas designed course
where golfers will feel that every facet of their game is being
put to the test on each shot. Set amongst pine woodlands, the
West Course’s design provides a distinctive character along the
undulating land. The changes in elevation often deceive golfers
in their choice of club. The tight front nine demands accurate
driving to avoid the gullies while the back nine, up amongst
the hills, is more open but nonetheless challenging. The unique
surroundings with amazing views makes this a very popular choice
for golfers.
La Manga Club – South Course
La Manga South Course was originally designed by Robert D. Putman
in 1971 and subsequently remodelled by Arnold Palmer in 1992. At 6,449
meters off the white tees, the South is a top calibre championship course.
The front nine are particularly tough, with two par 3’s over 200 metres and
some daunting par 4’s which will demand accurate driving between lakes
and bunkers, requiring long irons or fairway woods to the green. The back
nine, although shorter, has a number of intriguing dog-leg holes. Located
in the centre of the valley, it has wide, palm-fringed fairways and water
hazards on 15 out of its 18 holes. La Manga Club is a sports and leisure
resort , which is home to three of Europe’s finest golf courses. It has been
nominated as one of the five top sports resorts in the world.
