La Manga Golf Resort comprises a private estate covering 1500 acres with three 18-hole Championship golf courses (North, South & West courses), tennis clubs, football training areas, shops, restuarants plus a superb choice of luxury accommodation, a 5* Hyatt Regency Hotel, over 2000 villas, apartments and townhouses.
La Manga Club has been voted Europe’s top resort for golfing holidays three times in the last five years.
The North Course is 6400 yards from the back tees. Shorter and more undulating than the South course, with tighter fairways and larger greens, the North Course rewards a player who can call on precision rather than length, an added challenge is provided by the wide variety of water hazards and barrancas that snake their way through the course. The fast, reconstructed greens – all built to USGA specification – demand a particularly deft touch; none more so than the short par-3 2nd, which has three distinct plateaux. A great test of putting.
The recently (2004) rebuilt South Course is one of Europe’s most challenging and prestigious courses. Located in the centre of the resort, with wide palm-fringed fairways and water hazards that come into play on 15 out of the 18 holes, the South Course is La Manga Club’s classic championship course.
The West course (formally known as La Princesa) is of a different style to the Parkland North and South Courses. It is a shorter, tighter the numerous ravines, water hazards and dense Spanish countryside means there is a definite premium on accuracy. The course is heavily tree-lined and it is advisable to hire a buggy.
