Three 18-hole Championship Courses
With a choice of three superb, 18-hole championship courses, each with its own unique style and terrain, but all offering tranquil surroundings and many outstanding views, there is something to challenge and inspire golfers of all ages and abilities.
In addition, there is an 80-bay, floodlit driving range, complete with target greens as well as a large practice bunker, plus chipping and putting greens.
The Academy of Golf
Whether you’re an experienced pro or a first time novice, you needn't worry, because La Manga Club expertly caters for all levels.

The tales - and pictures - you bring home will make you the envy of your clubhouse friends.
So whether you are fine-tuning your technique or learning the rudiments of the game, La Manga Club offers a truly diverse and unique golfing experience. Look no further for your next golf holiday, golfing break or corporate golf event!
Pitch and Putt
La Manga Club also has it’s own 18-hole, picturesque par 47 pitch and putt course complete with bunkers and water hazards, offering ideal practice and enjoyment for the whole family.
South Course
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.
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 6361 metres, par 72.
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.
Weekly Golf Tournaments
Official competitions open to all are held at La Manga Club three times a week. These have proved very popular as they allow all golfers the chance of playing some competitive golf as well as occasional golf during their stay.
