La Manga golf course is located in Murcia Spain, it is regarded as one of Europe's premier sports and leisure destinations. It has 3 fantastic championship golf courses, each with their own unique style and terrain. The South Golf Course was designed by Dean Putman but later remodeled by Arnold Palmer. It is regarded as the toughest course with long holes and plenty of water hazards.
The West Course was designed by Dave Thomas and the North Golf Course by the world renowned course architect Robert Dean Putman.
La Manga's South course is famous for hosting many major professional tournaments, including several Spanish Opens and PGA Championships for both men and women
The South course is a par 73, with a lenth of 6,499 meters from the white tees. Water hazards are a major hazard on 15 and 18 holes. The course has wide fairways with a good mix of short and long holes.
The front nine holes are challenging with two par 3s more than 200 meters in length and some daunting par 4s, which require accurate driving to avoid the lakes and bunkers. The back nine holes are shorter with a number of intriguing dog-leg holes.
The West course is a par-72, with a length of 5,714 m from the white tees. It was opened in 1990 and is the newest of the three 18-hole golf courses. It has recently been added to the list of top 100 best courses in Europe. All three La Manga courses are included in the best 40 courses in Spain.
The West course features frequent changes in elevation creating different challenges from the two other courses. The front nine holes require accurate tee-off driving to avoid the 'barrancos', which are natural storm gullies. The back nine holes are also challenging but are more open and located on the hillside
The North golf course is a par 71, with a length of 5,755 m from the white tees. Like the South and West courses this course has large greens that are hard to miss but difficult to make two puts on a regular basis. The fairway grass is lush which usually ensures your ball is sitting up, ideal for making low scores. Lakes, palm trees and the natural storm gullies known as the 'barrancos' are the main features of the North Course. The North Course is slightly shorter than the South Course, with tighter fairways and larger putting greens.
