La Manga Club Resort South
La Manga Club South is the resort's original championship course, designed by Robert Dean Putman when La Manga opened in the early 1970s and later remodelled with input from Arnold Palmer. It remains the toughest and most storied of the three courses, and the one most closely tied to La Manga's tournament history.
Water comes into play on fifteen of the eighteen holes, and the back nine turns notably harder than the front, asking for real composure once the round is already underway. Wide fairways offer room off the tee, but the demanding mix of short and long holes means nothing here plays itself. South's pedigree speaks for itself: it has hosted five Spanish Opens, including Arnold Palmer's celebrated 1975 win, and continues to host the European Senior Tour's Farmfoods European Senior Masters today.
The wider resort brings a full golf academy and decades of championship infrastructure to back up the round. Book La Manga Club South for the toughest test at one of Spain's most historic golf addresses, still hosting professional golf today.

Enjoyable course. Quite long and back nine tougher than front.

My favourite course this trip. The course tests all your skills from tight driving holes to long par 3s and plenty of water to avoid. The par 3 second, my ball was momentarily on the green and then I saw it start to roll right, down the bank into the adjacent pond. Although the course was playable a few fairways were burnt but this didn't spoil the day. The greens were slower than expected but they were true. Unfortunately I didn't get to sample the 19th hole experience.
