Description

Golf at La Manga Club If any sport distinguishes La Manga Club as one of the best sports resorts in the world, it is golf. The resort is home to three 18-hole golf courses, each with its own particular style: the North Course, designed by world-renowned golf course architect Robert Dean Putman; the South Course, also designed by Putman and later updated by Arnold Palmer; and the Dave Thomas designed West Course; as well as an 18-hole pitch & putt course designed by Severiano Ballesteros. The magnificent golf facilities also include a Golf Practice Centre, which is amongst the best in Europe and the Leadbetter Golf Academy, where golfers can learn using the legendary David Leadbetters unique methods. These are but some of the reasons that have contributed to the numerous golf awards La Manga Club has won over the years, including Europes and Spains Best Golf Resort, for example in the Todays Golfer Travel Awards 2012, 2013 and 2014, as well being chosen as the venue for top level tournaments such as the Spanish Open and Spanish PGA championships. North course surrunded by Palm trees, lakes and natural storm gullies known as "barrancas" are key features of the North Course, which is slightly shorter than the South, with tighter fairways and larger greens. The greens have plenty of movement built in. A good example is the par 3 second, which has three distinct plateaux - a great test of putting. The North Course provides a stern test of shot making from golfers of all standards, with a deft touch required on the greens.
