Originally designed by Robert D Putman, this classic championship course was remodelled in 1992 by Arnold Palmer, who won the La Manga Spanish Open here in 1975. Completely refurbished in 2004 with more water being brought into play and located in the centre of the valley, with wide palm-fringed fairways and few hidden dangers, the South, whilst being a top-calibre championship course, is enjoyed by golfers of all standards. Many strategically positioned water hazards and bunkers will punish wayward shots. Length 6499 metres, par 73.
North Course
Recently completely renovated, the North Course is now, for many players, the golfing highlight at La Manga Club. The North Course is more undulating than the South and offers a different, yet no less challenging, round of golf. Relying on precision rather than length, an added challenge is provided by the 'barrancas' that snake their way through the course. These natural storm gullies feature on all three golf courses and add an extra dimension to the game. As with the South Course, and particularly on the back nine, water is a prominent feature.
West Course
Set amid serene pine woodlands, the West Course has frequent changes in elevation with which to contend. This is a deceiving course that demands the occasional blind shot. A tight front nine contrasts with the more open, but nonetheless challenging, back nine. Those who get the better of the charming and elusive West Course will have played a memorable round.
Par 47 - Pitch & Putt
The 18 hole, par 47 pitch and putt course is located close to the Tennis Centre. This picturesque course comes complete with bunkers and water hazards, offering ideal practice and enjoyment for the whole family.
Facilities
Beside the golf clubhouse is an 80-bay, floodlit driving range, complete with target greens as well as a large practice bunker, plus chipping and putting greens.
