South Course at La Manga Club

Flatter than north but longer. Tricky is you struggle with length as there is water and well protected greens. Generally very good condition. Pace of play can be an issue at times.

A slow round, but the course was in tip top condition.

We have previously seen the course in better overall condition. We were advised that a change of ownership took place last year and the new owners are in the process of bringing the course (s) back to there former glory. While we were happy overall we are very disappointed with your customer service. Unfortunately I got heatstroke and we didn’t play one of our games. We advised the club in case someone else could take our tee time. Some confusion happened and the club said they could not give us a refund as you had made the booking. They suggested we should contact you on our return and ask for a refund on our behalf. This we did but no feedback. Phoned again and told no response fromLa Manga apology and will chase and let us know. Again we have heard NOTHING. We returned on 17th September and got in touch 22/23 we are now 5th November and nothing not a very good advert for your customer service

Excellent, we played with a couple from Finland, weather fantastic, course great.

Slow round otherwise ok

All good accept for the condition of the bunkers which may be due high rain 2 days before we played it.

The prime course at La Manga. Greta condition and some great holes. Maybe more straight forward than the North but stunning views as you go around and a good test with large greens and huge bunkers.

Lovely course.No starter so was a delay in starting.The round took 5 hours.Only saw the drinks buggy once.

Stunning course great for driving good par 3s really enjoyed this one

Nice course but the same issue with range balls not being very good

This was our favourite of the three courses at La Manga - it was a balance between the West and North Course. It had a few tricky holes but also had the nice open holes where you can let loose with the driver.

I enjoyed this course as it was challenging but fun! The course was in okay condition but could definitely be better. Bunkers were not great and lots of bare patches around.

Great course in amazing condition

The course was very good the bunkers were a little inconsistent quite a number of bunkers lacking sand.No halfway house open and no drinks buggy came round whilst we were playing

No issues, large fast greens surrounded by large bunkers, tuff.

Enjoyed the South course much better than the North more interesting holes loved the wide fairways some tricky holes made you think!!

Took about 4.5 hours No hold ups

Course was playing really well but very busy with a local comp. Had to wait on tee box for 5-10mins every hole but it can be like that it’s gold. Need more drinks carts around the course as well.

The greens were tough but fantastic, running true and fast. The course was perfect as were the facilities. We played this 3 times over the 3 days. We paid for extra rounds in the evening which were quite pricey.

Lovely course , greens good , fairways a bit dry , with not much grass growth , but probably better in summer Can’t really fault with some good challenging holes

Fun to play, well placed hazards interesting fast greens.

perfect had a great round and everyone couldn't be more helpful

Excellent

Great course, amongst everything, toilets, bar, food buggy. would play again for sure

Again greens good but bunkers, tees and fairways need attention

Easy of the 3 but found on all the fairways very dried out and patchy, needs more water but do understand they have had a hot summer, is that a good excuse for them !

On Day 3, we tackled the tougher La Manga South course. This one really tested our skills with its doglegs, barrancos protecting the greens, and plenty of water hazards to keep us on our toes. It was a challenging but rewarding experience.

Lovely course although fairways were baked after a long hot summer. Tougher layout than the north with bunkers and hazards just where you didn’t want them! Very enjoyable round.

Great course back 9 tough with some tricky water holes, need to lay up and play sensibly.

Very dry and needed more upkeep

Long and tricky but beautiful manicured course with pacey greens

For me the best course at the golf club. The water features add some degree of difficulty but overall a great experience. The clubhouse staff are excellent and transfers are quick and easy

Beautiful course, but trouble everywhere for the high handicapper! Water, ravines, trees; no real rough as such, but there doesn't need to be. Bunkers can be tricky to play out of - well groomed but often little depth of sand, and tend to be moist in the morning - worth practising bunker play as well as putting before the round. Course map essential. Nice 19th hole spike bar.

A good course to enjoy on holiday.

I have played the course several times before and found it in very good condition including the greens which for February were excellent.

Great fun, challenging, highly recommend this experience.

Loved this one too! It is the longest and most challenging of the three courses - so much water to negotiate! It’s a beautiful course.

Slightly more difficult than the North Course as there is much more water to negotiate.

Great course in good condition

A good challenge and some interesting holes

Flat and walkable if you like

Not many people on course so all went well

Greens had been treated with no prior warning. Greens had heavy disease in places . This course is holding a seniors tour in a few weeks. No way the greens will meet thar standard.

The course itself was great fun to play, with some really beautiful and interesting holes. Sadly the greens had recently had maintenance so were far from good. This combined with a lot of disease and bare patches really made for them being far from good. That being said we were advised prior to the round that they had completed maintenance on the greens and that we could play one of the other courses should we wish.

This course had just undergone maintenance and to be fair they offered to switch us to a different course. In better condition this would be a good challenging course, preferable to north any day. Do try the west course as it's beautiful and even more challenging!

Favourite course , challenging and in great condition with 100 , 150 and 200 markers! Great feeling coming up the 18th in front of the hotel with great views the whole way round!

Very helpful starters and staff, some of the greens are very large, all are in good condition and fast. I found this a tad easier than the North course but don't expect to play to your handicap especially if it's your first time out. One issue we thought 53 euro for a buggy was expensive.

Greens had a few problems with disease but otherwise putted well. The Marshall said rounds should take 4 hours and 45 minutes but on occasions it was 5 hours. I think for good golfers it would have been easily completed in 4 hours.

I play off scratch so to play to that on a tough course is always going to be great fun and enjoyable, but the course makes you think. The greens were disappointing considering the Seniors open was there the day before.

Terrible greens, deceased

Slope 134. Very hard, so much sand. I've been to smaller beaches! Great condition and some lovely views. Lovely course.

Lovely course with receptive greens and in fantastic condition. Water on the course could look a bit nicer if topped up I suppose but that is very picky. Other than that, nothing to complain about.

Really enjoyed the experience of playing a former championship course.

played very good !! apart from we booked at 12 we got moved to without any notice to 1.30pm we had a flight home that day we Nealy missed it .. pro shop not interested.

The jewel in the crown, longer than the North, jowever equally as challenging.

Loved the course but once again there was no sign of a refreshments buggy nor was the halfway house open.

Good venue a little dated now but course is still a good test. Shame had a local young lad in front of us playing x4 balls on his own.

Weather great, course very good

We found the south course more difficult than the north and there was some work had been done on the greens recently. Quite a bit longer than the north course and more water but an enjoyable and relatively quick round.

Unfortunately the greens had recently been hollow tined and whilst this type of maintenance is necessary it did detract from the enjoyment of the course particularly as we played it twice during our stay. Also being told that we had not ordered/paid for buggies on the first day did not help our mood. Although this mix up was resolved by a very helpful chap in the pro shop.

Great golf course with some great feature holes with water. Tough, especially in the winds we had!

We were following five! Four players one instructor! Went to look ahead but noticed all play very slow in front of them. Waiting more than 15 minutes. We decided to stop.

An absolutely beautiful Golf Course

Tee times were changed without warning

Greens in need of some attention

Greens extremely bobbly and patchy

Great test of golf especially when the wind blows. A significant amount of work has and was been completed on the course during our stay. The greens need further investment.

Same as the north plus with no drinks cart also a negative.

There is obviously work needed to bring the course up to pre-Covid condition. Disappointed that we were not alerted to the fact that there were no drinks buggy available on the course.before we set off.

Very good

The course was undergoing maintenance, we were given half price buggies but were still disappointed that we had not been pre warned

Take plenty balls. All too easy to end up in the water.

Fantastic, what more can I say

Very good indeed. Slightly surprised how much of an upgrade it was on the North course that we played the day before.

A very flat course but long. Great views in places. Easy to walk it

Good experience

Difficulty was the length. Able to cope with this. Against paired with another couple. Course busy and it was slow 4 and 1/2 hours but an hour quicker than the previous day.

Fantastic course . Played in October . The greens are showing wear after the summer season but that being said a great days golfing overall. Lovely views .

as above for south course, this course slightly harder as longer and more water. golf as it should be, in the warm sunshine with palm trees, but not so many they get in the way!

The most overrated course I've played. The worst of the 3 courses at La Manga. In very poor condition.

Just as good as last year, will do it again

Some of the greens were in poor condition which we put down primarily to the recent heavy rain the region experienced

Championship course you have a number of long par fours and a lot of water .Very testing course that you have to plot your way around .Greens very difficult .Really enjoyed playing it this year .Price Of buggies is a big issue with our lads and La Manga may loose us to another complex in Spain or Portugal in future .

the cours was in a very good condition after the rainfall a couple of weeks ago

This is by far the best course at La Manga - an excellent layout asking many questions - fewer elevation changes than North course - but significantly longer - not quite so daunting in terms of carries. Significant wear damage on the greens same as for North course.

This is a long course and I can see why it is used as the championship course. Some nice looking holes with water features.

This was the prettier of the two golf courses we played but we were unnecessarily rushed by the green staff. The folk in front were playing very quick and apparently a hole and a half ahead of us by the 9th but we were consistently ahead of the folk behind who were never on the tee before we left the green. Other than that, the course is lovely. Some big water hazards but nothing unplayable. Again, great advice from Your Golf Travel on which two of the three courses to play, and in what order :-)

Very good overall, and probably the best of the 3 courses

Championship course, very long and plenty of water. 5 and a half hours to play and we were not held up. Wide fairways so definitely need the driver on this one.

Greens had been heavily used. 18th particularly needs repair.

A long course and one needing a buggy. need to book the buggies well in advance as not easily available.

Again picturesque course, few greens not been repaired so a few i bit bumpy but overall lovely

Lovely course - lots of water so sometimes challenging

Very good, great views. More water and more dry streams/rivers made it a bit tricky. More opportunities to get refreshments than the South.

Our least favourite of the La Manga courses. Not as interesting as the North.

Brilliant course in great condition

Great course if you hit long and want a challenge.

Great condition thanks to all the staff.

Great course good test of your golf .but the round took (five and half hours) In my option to many players all going from first tee .on one tee we had two four balls in front of us waiting to tee off . Trolleys on course to by water off well needed got to my fellow players well .well run by caddy master fun and friendly. Pro shop very expensive collared shirt (115 euro) love to play it again

Lots of water hazards and a more of a challenge than the North Course but I enjoyed it

Condition good considering storms prior. Many greens had unrepaired pitch marks but I guess to be expected on resort course

Very poor value for money. 48 euros for a buggy.

Same as our experience on the north course perfect!!! great golf on superb courses all staff are very friendly and helpful and the course was in great condition.

good quality course.

Enjoyed the course very much. Very different from other two courses.

i have a hip problem and hired a buggy but found out very quickly the buggy was diverted quite far from greens and and some par threes a difficult walk warden pushing us to play faster because course was busy due to West course closed explained about the walking problem and he allowed me to park 4m from green this helped. course closure not our problem golf is not a race

Nice course in good condition, play was a bit slow but when on holiday does that matter

A more picturesque course with lots of palm trees and more water than the north but fine. Hard to say which I preferred as the North & South courses are lovely

Lovely golf course longest of the 3 courses

2 very enjoyable rounds But our comments would be much the same as for the North Course . Especially with regard to the poor signage between the Green and the next Tee We are all aged , and very experienced golfers

Another good course. Played this twice and greens were slow and woolly on first round but were little quicker 2nd time around.

A beautiful course and fantastic greens, probably the best course overall, the round was slightly ruined by over zealous staff continually pushing us along and telling us to go quicker to catch up with the group ahead of us even though that 3 ball had started the round a full hole in front of us, and we were 2 holes in front of the group behind us!!

A great course with a challenge on every hole for all standards of player.

This was far better than the north course

This course is by far the prettiest course. Every view is special. Its long on the card but didn't feel long to play. Definitely one you should play. Greens are HUGE. Lots of water. All add to how stunning this place is.

Very good

Lovely time

It is longer and therefore more of a challenge to handicap golfers with more water in play. Generous fairways give u a chance to keep it in play.

Played South course twice also Harder and longer than the North but very enjoyable Plenty of water to keep you thinking Pace of play was excellent we were out at 9-03 as a 2 ball and didn’t see anyone else On 11th after a good drive take extra club to clear the water on second shot it plays longer than it states

I enjoyed this course, although some of our party felt the course was enjoyable but not very memorable

We had a 13.25 tee and the pace of play was awful. We had to divert back to the first tee to get 18 holes in because we had only completed 6 holes after 1h 45m We won't be choosing La Manga again

good course greens showed signs of wear long off the back

Love this course, but greens again suffering from too many unrepaired pitchmarks.

Mainly Long straight-ish fairways with some interesting ravines. Enjoyed the course - greens were a bit ‘spongy’ and needed some repairs but overall good. A bit slow with a slow 4 in front taking their time and not really caring about the Q behind. Good time to go, nice weather, not toooo busy.

Enjoyed the experience.

Lovely course - greens were in terrible condition, threadbare, lots of unrepaired pitch marks. I assume just end of season tiredness - but let down the playing experience.

Only being an average golfer, the course was a little difficult but loved the challenge. Great course. So enjoyed it! Took longer than North but expected. Would love to go back. The staff at the club house and buggy hire were so pleasant and helpful!!

Overall very good condition

Fantastic course, despite the high winds and raging hangover. THe course was in superb condition, the greens were soft and receptive allowing you to fire at pins. Fairways were more akin to greens in places, they were that well looked after. Again, speed was great, no waiting at all. PLayed this course again on the last day in 26 degrees and perfectly still. Despite being long, this is a course you can attack. Watch out for what felt like the biggest bunker in the world all the way up the right hand side of the 14th. Either smash your drive as hard and as far into the bunker as you can, to leave a 40-50 yard sand shot to the green, or place an iron on the slither or fairway up the right, leaving a much longer 2nd. Just dont drop it short or you will never make it in 2!

Enjoyed, lost just one ball. Buggy hire cost too expensive though.

A real length golf course - lots of position placement and glory shots to well protected greens. Wind was howling, which made the course very long. Greens in good condition, facilities in the clubhouse very good.

Enjoyed the round, especially the quality of the fairways compared to most I play at home.

Good course and interesting holes, not as difficult as the West Course. Rather irritating caddy master saddling our three ball with an additional player (although Juan was very friendly if slightly slow) then persistently telling us to speed up!

Much better condition and more forgiving than the West course. Nothing spectacular but faster round and most enjoyable. Elevated bar 38 overlooking the course with great staff and buzzing ambiance was cracking for a beer and burger after the round

Championship course which is long with a lot of very tough 2nd shots into greens . Plenty of water hazards . Fairways in great condition ,greens stop on high shots also good but difficult to read .It is a tough but very enjoyable course .

Nice course but greens could be better

The establishment was Great from the club house to the locker rooms. It’s was busy that day but that was it was Saturday when we played so slow play was inevitable. But hey when the sun is shinning and you are on a cracking course. There are not many other places to be. The greens weren’t impeccable to match the course but it’s to be expected with the weather we have had recently. Simply brilliant.

Great course but very slow, greens good considering amount of use.

Challenging but interesting.

I thoroughly enjoyed the challenge of the course. we played this course twice and on the second time we played with the orange ball where you add all the points your fourball scores with the ball. two players use it five times the other two four times. great craic but not for my fourball we lost it on the 2nd hole! first time around was 4 hours 20 second time just over 4 hours 30 but still very enjoyable.

the greens were very cut up and pitch marks all over the greens which tended to alter the putting line. other wise a great course

Great course in great condition.

Lots of foot marks over greens pitch marks not repaired or divots replaced

A 5 hour plus round but was fine in the sunshine. Good practice facilities and bar area. I feel the complex is short of golf buggies and they definitely need more drink wagons on the course.

Enjoyable course , due to being able to walk and appreciate the surrounding views ,Downside was the condition of the greens , badly pitched marked

the experience was good but greens need hollow coring as it is obvious by imprints on greens that thatch has accumulated
