La Manga (North)
Murcia » La Manga (North)
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.
A brilliant third is needed if
a birdie is to be secured as the
green has been designed in the
shape of a volcano.

Murcia » La Manga (West)
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.
