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!

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 Caf้ Bar Restaurant to offer you that all important post round refreshment.

Las Ramblas, Torrevieja

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 is worth hiring a buggy on all the courses!!

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 caf้ 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

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.
