Villamartin, Torrevieja
www.villamartin.es
Again within 45 minute drive of Los
Belones this course is as old as the North and South Courses at
La Manga Club, inaugurated in 1972. Another Par 72 and 6,132 metres
in length Villa Martin is internationally known, although it has
been known to suffer from overplay. Again situated on the outskirts
of Torrevieja it also can be a headache trying to park near the
entrance. If you have the time it is worth playing to compare against
the rest and because of the name! |
Altoreal, Murcia
www.altoreal.es
A challenging 6,200m 18 hole course situated
only a few kilometres north west of the city of Murcia. Within a comfortable
60 minute drive from Los Belones. The Course was designed by Dave Thomas,
who designed the West Course at La Manga Club. The Course covers an area
of two 9 hole courses which both begin and end at the same point. It is
a Par 72 Course with 6 lake areas and many sand traps! In summary eleven
Par 4 holes; three Par 3; four Par 5; in a natural environment with more
than 20,000 trees including olive, pine and carob trees. Golf equipment,
golf school, bags and caddie cars can be hired. The Club has a very pleasantly
appointed Club House with Café Bar Restaurant to offer you that all important
post round refreshment. |

Las Ramblas,
Torrevieja
www.lasramblas.es
Right next door the Real Golf Club is
another more challenging 18 hole course. This course was inaugurated
in 1991 and is a sister course to Villamartin and La Finca. The fairways
and greens meander through small treelined valleys crossing ditches
and dry river beds. It is 5,770 metres long and has not too many opportunities
to use your 1 Wood, but if you play to the Par 72 on your visit you
are doing well. It is an enjoyable challenge not the most favoured
course in the area and the Club House and facilities are disappointing.
Due to the "uphill down dale" nature of the course it is worth hiring
a buggy, but mind you in the summer months unless you are fit it isworth
hiring a buggy on all the courses!! |
Real Golf
Club, Lomas de Campoamor
www.lomasdecampoamor.com
The closest golf club to Los Belones is a very attractive 18 hole
course south of Torrevieja. In the centre of the Course is an impressive
4 Star Hotel which houses both the Club House and café bar and restaurant.
The terrace outside the bar has amazing views overlooking the course
and in the distance the Mar Menor and Mediterrenean. The Golf Club
is a comfortable 40 minute drive up the A37 motorway to Torrevieja
from Los Belones. It is arguably the easiest playing course out of
the five listed with open fairways forgiving the player the occasional
miss hit! Worth a visit if not solely for the views in the bar and
restaurant afterwards! |

La Finca, Algorfa
www.lafinca.es
The newest course in the area was
opened in 2002 with many resident golfers at La Manga commenting
on what a great course it is. It is testing for all golfers whatever
their ability. It is a very attractive panoramic course with many
water features and plenty of obstacles to test your game. Great
restaurant and bar but some of the facilities for the clubhouse
are still being finished as it is a relatively new course. Within
easy 75 min driving time from Los Belones up the A37 Motorway. |
La Manga Golf Resort, La Manga
www.golf.lamangaclub.com
La Manga Golf Club opened in 1971.
The North and South Courses at La Manga are located in a valley
surrounded by mountains and with stunning views of the Mar Menor.
Palm trees abound in these two courses, while the West course, sited
in a mountain was carved out of a pine forest. The Club offers an
excellent golf shop, caddies and one of the best practice areas
to be found in Spain, with 90 driving range bays, 3 putting greens,
short game area and practice bunker. The La Manga Club Golf Academy
organises comprehensive training courses for all levels of players
and private tuition. |
