Villas for Rent in La Manga Club Spain

Playing Golf at La Manga Club

La Manga Club is a fantastic golf holiday destination with its three championship courses and outstanding practice facilities it's no wonder that it has been voted Europe's top golf holiday resort twice in the past five years. The resort has also recently been chosen as the official winter training base of the German PGA.

La Manga Club has played host to many international tournaments including the Spanish Open, PGA Spanish Championships, Spanish Junior Championships, Ladies' Spanish Open and Senior Spanish Open for men.

The three top-quality, 18-hole championship courses all benefit from uniquely tranquil surroundings and provide many superb views. Whether you are fine-tuning your technique or learning the rudiments of the game, La Manga Club offers a truly diverse and unique golfing holiday experience.

SOUTH COURSE Par 72
Originally designed by Robert D Putman, this classic championship course was remodeled in 1992 by Arnold Palmer who won the La Manga Spanish open in 1975. 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. A handicap certificate is required to play on the South Course.

NORTH COURSE Par 71
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 Par 73
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. Charming and elusive, those who get the better of the West Course will have played a memorable round.

LA MANGA CLUB GOLF ACADEMY
Whatever your age or ability you can learn to play golf or fine-tune your existing skills at the La Manga Club Golf Academy. The 5-day academy courses consist of three hours tuition each morning, Monday through Friday, and ideally suited for beginners and improvers alike. Resident professionals are also available for private tuition.

Perhaps even more exciting is the unveiling of the new V1 digital swing analysis system. The superb quality of the digital reproduction enables the Pro to identify even the very slightest deviation from the perfect. The Dead Solid Swing Analyser system also allows the flight of the ball and club head action through the hitting area to be recorded, which means that the student can see not just the movement of the swing but also, more importantly, the result of his or her action to the ball.
