HOTEL LA MANGA CLUB - PRINCIPE FELIPE
La Manga has for many years set the benchmark for golfing destinations. It has repeatedly been named European Golf Resort of the Year, thanks to three outstanding championship courses, and comprehensive facilities of the highest standard.
South Course
The South Course is widely regarded as La Manga's premier layout, and frequently hosts prestigious regional and national events, including the Spanish Open and European Tour Qualifying School. Originally designed by Robert Putman prior to opening in 1971, the South was reworked by the great Arnold Palmer in the early 1990s, and was sharpened up in 2004.
As a result, this is now a fair but thoroughly exacting test of golf. The front nine is the tougher, with a number of long, demanding par-3s and 4s, but there are birdie chances on the long holes. The closing stretch is less difficult, but avoiding the strategically positioned water hazards and bunkers is crucial around this par-73 cracker.
North Course
La Manga's North Course presents a different test, with tighter fairways and larger greens, all bordered by the resort's famous palm trees. The putting surfaces have recently been reconstructed in accordance with USGA design principles, and many have severe slopes and plateaus, that are tricky to say the least. Accuracy and sound course management are the most valuable traits around the 6,291 yard North, which is a gem that will be particularly enjoyed by the creative shot-makers out there.
West Course
The West Course is also a genuine championship layout, underlining the fact that La Manga has no weak links. Measuring in at 6,529 yards, the West winds its way gently through the idyllic pine trees, and has more severe slopes than its neighbours. The West is in fact the favourite of many repeat visitors, particularly because of its unique setting and outstanding views. The fairways are tight, so it is often prudent to play conservatively from the tee, while the West also boasts a collection of fabulous par-3s.
