Well, I've just returned from a vacation in Spain, staying in my uncles villa. thankfully, my uncle is golf-mad.
his villa is a 5 minute drive from la manga club, and on out second day there we played the south course, and it is a masterpeice! fairways like carpet, greens like tiles, and well designed, with lots of water. lots of water. i've came to the conclusion that its a huge lake, with a few tees, fairways and greens thrown onto it!
after a few more rounds, we decided to go to la finca golf club, a new layout, only opened within the last few years i think. this course i thought was far superior to la manga, and half the cost!

plus, i shot a 78 on my first try at la finca, so maybe thats why i like it!

i expect to see the spanish open played here before too long!
take a look at the 17th hole on that website, its my favourite golf hole ever!
