Philippines Activities
 Golf
Tee off and experience the beautiful settings of the Philippines’
unique golfing enclaves, from lush valleys to mountaintops, seaside
resorts, or just within the cityscapes. The courses have been designed
by golf's premier architects, radiating the strategic brilliance
of such greats as Jack Nicklaus, Arnold Palmer, Gary Player, and
Robert Trent Jones, Jr., among others. Play at venues that have
been proud sites of some of the most prestigious international and
local tournaments, like the Johnnie Walker Classic, the World Amateur
Golf Championships, the World Cup, The Asian PGA, and the Philippine
Open.
BAGUIO COUNTRY CLUB (Baguio City)
Tel. No. (074) 442-5060/5069
It is one of the oldest and finest courses in the country. Even
at par 61, this does not indicate an easy round due to its restrictive
layout of tight fairways and rolling hills.
CAMP JOHN HAY (Baguio City)
Tel. No. (074) 442-2101/2102
Smell the pines as you walk through the fairways of this par 69
all-weather course. Laid out about 5,000 ft. above the sea level,
it was recently redesigned by the Nicklaus Group.
EASTRIDGE GOLF COURSE (Binangonan, Rizal)
Tel. No. (02) 651-2240/2298
Two man-made lagoons, one in the front nine spanning 1.3 hectares
and the other at the back nine at 2.3 hectares, are the most distinct
features of this 80-hectare 18-hole par 72 course.
STA. ELENA GOLF CLUB (Sta. Rosa, Laguna)
Tel. No. (049) 549-1277/1278
Another Robert Trent Jones, Jr. creation is this 27-hole all-weather
championship course. The 120 hectares of gently rolling terrain
gave the designer the opportunity to create a number of memorable
holes that wind their way through the natural movement of the property.
THE MANILA SOUTHWOODS (Carmona, Cavite)
Tel. No. (046) 430-0262
Venue of the World Amateur Golf Championship 1996, this course is
composed of two 18-hole Jack Nicklaus signature courses: the "Masters"
course punctuated by traps and water hazards, and the "Legends"
course accentuated by high mounds.
WACK WACK GOLF AND COUNTRY CLUB (Mandaluyong City)
Tel. No. (02) 723-066
Wack Wack has two fine 18-hole courses: the internationally known
East Course, where some of the biggest tournaments have been held;
and the shorter, less troublesome West Course, which usually draws
the more senior and female golfers of the club.
