Murcia » La Manga (South)
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.
