La Manga Club Eyes Historic
Golf Awards Hat-Trick
Courses
Spain’s five-star La Manga Club resort
is targeting unprecedented success on
the global golf travel stage after being
shortlisted for three of the top honours
at this year’s World Golf Awards.
The iconic sports and leisure destination
in Murcia, south-east Spain, has won the
awards for ‘Europe’s Best Golf Venue’
and ‘Spain’s Best Golf Hotel’ at the event
for the last two years and is a leading
contender again when the 2019 winners
are announced in Abu Dhabi at the end
of October.
La Manga Club’s Hotel Principe Felipe
has been voted Spain’s best golf hotel
four times in the last five years and will
be optimistic of further success in the
category, while the resort could complete
a memorable evening with its renowned
South Course also nominated for the
award of ‘Spain’s Best Golf Course’.
Launched in 2014, the World Golf
Awards have quickly risen to be regarded
as one of the most prestigious awards
programmes in the golf tourism industry.
Nick Montgomery, general manager
at La Manga Club, said: “La Manga
Club continues to set the pace for golf
resorts across Europe, and to have been
shortlisted for these three top awards is
very gratifying.
“We have enjoyed considerable success
at the World Golf Awards in recent years
and such recognition is an illustration
of the long-term appeal and high regard
that the resort is held in, both with
golfers and across the golf industry.”
