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 .
