The main changes involve the introduction of more water being brought into play, and more tree planting which will affect the overall playing strategy on the course, as well as considerably more movement on the greens. All this, together with the re-positioning of a number of tees makes for a more modern course lay-out, which will above all, provide a more interesting examination for the discerning golfer.
The Championship course at La Manga Club, the South, is probably one of the fairest tests of golf one can find. At 6499 metres from the White Tees, whilst being accepted as a top-calibre championship course, also provides a thorough test both for the scratch player and right across the handicap range.
Located in the centre of the valley, with wide palm fringed fairways and water hazards that come into play on 15 of the 18 holes, the South Course holds few hidden dangers.
The South Course has been the venue for many major professional tournaments; Spanish Opens (both ladies' and men's), PGA Championships and Qualifying Schools for both the men's and ladies' European Tours. In addition, it remains the firm favourite of many companies throughout the world as the perfect venue for their corporate events.
