Fresh from taking delivery of a range of new greenkeeping machinery, the multi award-winning venue in Murcia, south-east Spain, is offering players an improved golfing experience by fitting its golf carts with the latest Sentinel GPS navigation system.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Incorporating a wide range of features including instant touch screen information<\/strong>, aerial views of each hole, distances to the green and obstacles from any position on the course, internal power supply and cameras that monitor the users\u2019 actions during every round,<\/strong>\u00a0 the seven-inch screen is easy to use and is the ideal device for golfers bidding to improve their scores.<\/p>\n

The tracking system<\/strong> has initially been installed in 55 of La Manga Club\u2019s golf carts<\/strong> \u2013 including 37 new ones \u2013 with the remainder of its 120-buggy fleet due to be fitted with the GPS technology<\/strong> over the coming months.<\/p>\n

Other redevelopment plans at La Manga Club<\/strong> this summer include installing new signage on its three 18-hole courses, improved landscaping and access to each hole and the refurbishment of Bar 37 in the golf clubhouse, while members and guests can already enjoy an improved experience with the redesign of the resort\u2019s golf shop.<\/p>\n

Eduardo Ruiz, golf director at La Manga Club,<\/strong> said: \u201cIn order for La Manga Club to maintain its position as Europe\u2019s most popular golf destination<\/strong>, it is vital that the resort continues to invest.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re delighted with the new look of our golf shop while the installation of the new GPS technology<\/strong> will not only enhance the five-star golf experience that we can offer but also improve the time it takes to play a round of golf, a big problem in the modern-day game.\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
