The South Course is the main championship course at La Manga Club, it hosts a number of competitions as well as having hosted the Spanish Open five times and many other major competitions.

A current handicap certificate is required to play this course. The South Course is long, not by today's professional standards, but by us mere mortal standard's it is long enough, measuring around 7150 yards (6499 metres) from the white tees, with a par and standard scratch of 73 (from the yellow tees). It is designed in a parkland style, with fairways lined with many palm trees all waiting to interfere with your next shot and containing many lakes, wide barranca and bunkers just to add to the difficulty.

The 18th is where Arnold Palmer made an eagle 3 to win the Spanish Open back in 1975, this hole also finishes in front of the Hyatt Hotel.

Major maintenance work on the South Course was completed a while ago and what a gem has now been produced. It was most definatley been worth the wait for completion of the maintenance work.
