Located in Murcia on the Costa Calida (warm coast), this is a swanky 4* resort with courses for serious golfers and plenty to keep non-golfers entertained.
As the name ‘warm coast' suggests, the weather remains warm for most of the year. Autumn golf weekends at La Manga see stag parties tee off in temperatures of up to 25 degrees. You'll need to bring something more than shorts and flip flops though, as the temperatures dip to around 12 degrees at night.
La Manga runs excellent offers and promos on golf stag weekends in autumn and winter. The weather's a damn sight finer than it is in Blighty and the golf courses, facilities and on-site academy are all first class.
There are four golf courses in total at La Manga.
The North course (18 holes, par 71) is a sweeping, undulating affair with sprawling USGA-standard greens, swaying palm trees, lakes, natural storm gullies and interesting water obstacles that will keep improvers on their toes.
The South course (18 holes, par 73) is the championship course. Located slap bang in the heart of the valley, it's got palm-lined fairways, water hazards on most of the 18 holes, punishing bunkers, testing par 4's and a particularly tricky ravine on the final hole. Excellent if you're looking for golf stag weekends that present a true challenge.
The West course is quite different. This 18-hole, par 72 golf course is set within lush pine woodland and has a more natural, undulating feel than the others. Don't be deceived by the tranquillity! There are hills, storm gullies, surprise changes in elevation, blind shots and narrow fairways to contend with.
Finally, you've got the pitch and putt course.
Golf weekends at La Manga aren't just about the golf. Non-golfers can get stuck into everything from football, tennis, crickets and rugby to mountain biking, diving and snorkelling. You definitely won't be bored.
After a hard day's golf, refuel at the American burger joint or chow down on Italian, Indian or Spanish food before hitting Mulligan's pub or one of the swankier lounge bars.
