La Manga South Course is the flagship layout at the renowned La Manga Club and is widely regarded as one of the best golf courses in Spain. Originally designed by Robert Putman and later enhanced by Arnold Palmer, the course underwent a major refurbishment in 2004, further elevating its championship status.

Set in the heart of La Manga valley, the South Course features wide, palm-lined fairways, strategically placed bunkers, and an abundance of water hazards.

The front nine is particularly challenging, with long par-3s and demanding par-4s requiring accurate driving between water and sand. Its combination of length, design pedigree, and pristine conditioning makes it a must-play for golfers visiting the region.
