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.
