May 15th, 2012

Luke Donald used La Manga Club as a launch pad to become the world’s best golfer and this month golf fans can try to emulate him – with last minute golf breaks at the Spanish resort available at some truly unbelievable value rates.

Donald spent his summer holidays perfecting his skills on the luxury venue’s fairways and greens as a youngster and visitors can enjoy rounds on any of La Manga Club’s three 18-hole championship courses at fantastic discount prices.

While the UK suffered its wettest ever April since records began last month, the five-star resort has been basking in summer-like temperatures in the mid to high 20s.

As well as golf, the amazing golf break packages include twin-share accommodation in La Manga Club’s fully serviced, four-star Las Lomas Village apartments, breakfast and access to Spa La Manga Club’s fitness centre, indoor pool, saunas and steam rooms.

In addition, people travelling with young children can take advantage of free kids’ meals for the under-fives and complimentary entry to the resort’s Junior Club for youngsters aged five to 12.

And if you don’t fancy golf, the daily rounds are exchangeable at the same rate for selected spa treatments, tennis or dinner.

Golfers seeking a little bit of extra comfort can stay in the luxury resort’s fabulous Principe Felipe Hotel, where there are more fantastic spring break offers.

Rugby legends to gather at La Manga Club for Help for Heroes

April 6th, 2012

Record-breaking former England and British Lions prop Jason Leonard tops the list of star names from the rugby world heading to Spain’s La Manga Club next month (May) to take part in the first-ever Help for Heroes Golf Classic, a charity golf tournament sponsored by QBE.

Leonard, capped a record 114 times by his country, will join fellow 2003 World Cup winner Mark Regan and ex-England captains Phil de Glanville and Dick Greenwood at the fundraising event from May 2-6, which is being organised by Rugby’s Golf Club.

Other rugby celebrities from the home nations including former Wales internationals Tom Shanklin, Jeremy Pugh, Gavin Thomas, Gareth Cooper and Mike Roberts are also set to grace the fairways at the award-winning five-star Spanish resort.

And the likes of ex-England aces Jamie Salmon, David Trick and Matt Perry have also confirmed their participation alongside Radio 5Live rugby correspondent Ian Robertson in the star-studded charity event, which is being run in association with QBE, business insurance specialists and an official partner of England and Premiership Rugby.

Leonard said: “As president of Rugby’s Golf Club and a keen supporter of Help for Heroes, I was delighted when QBE asked us to organise their La Manga Golf Classic. We’re all looking forward to it; the golf itself, the rugby fellowship and the chance to raise funds for this great cause.”

Greenwood added: “I recently had a wonderful day out at Twickenham running an event at the special ‘Help for Heroes’ match.

“Without a doubt, the best moment of the day came when a very quiet gentleman who had been sitting with recovering soldiers asked if he could make a contribution to Help for Heroes and handed over a cheque – for £20,000!

“It goes without saying I am really looking forward to supporting this outstanding cause further by joining Rugby’s Golf Club and taking part in the QBE La Manga Classic.”

The Help for Heroes Golf Classic features three days of competitive golf in a Stableford team format on La Manga Club’s South and North courses, with competitors playing alongside a different rugby celebrity each day.

Packages start from £999 per person and include four nights in the five-star Hotel La Manga Club Principe Felipe, breakfast, welcome and gala dinners and prize-giving with entertainment.

Non-golfing partners are also welcome to attend and can enjoy all the festivities for just £599 and all packages include a donation to the Help for Heroes charity.

The luxurious setting of La Manga Club is the ideal venue for the competition with its three championship golf courses perfectly complemented by the rest of the resort’s wide-ranging facilities, including a 28-court tennis centre and 2,000sqm spa complex.

The QBE Golf Classic is organised by Rugby’s Golf Club. For further information please visit www.helpforheroeslamanga.co.uk  or email info@helpforheroeslamanga.co.uk

Ecco Tour Golf Tournament attracts over 120 players

March 20th, 2012

Last week’s ECCO Tour Winter Series at Spain’s La Manga Club attracted 122 players from 12 countries.

Following two rounds on La Manga Club North Course and one on La Manga Club South Course, the overall winner of The Ecco Spanish Open was Norway’s Chrisian Aronson on -10, followed by fellow countryman Øystein Engevik on -8 and Dane Lucas Bjerregaard on -7.

Amongst the players was two time European Tour winner Steen Tinning, returning to the course where he started his European Tour career at the Q-School in 1986. At that stage, Tinning shot a magnificient 10-under 61 on the North Course – a course record that still stands more than 25 years later. Unfortunately, this time round, Tinning didn’t make the cut, finishing on +6 after the first two rounds.

For full scores and details, visit the Ecco Tour Winter Series website

The action continues this week with the Mediter Real Estate Masters from 21st- 23rd March 2012. All the best to all the participants!
