Philippines Golf Academy

The city of Manila – the capital city of the Philippines, wherein a plethora of fun surprises awaits any traveler. From five-star malls, posh establishments and city resorts; even to the culturally diverse haunts, humble family estates to hole-in-the-wall joints, Manila virtually has everything to please everyone’s tastes. So diverse are Manila’s offerings that even golfers – yes, even them – have a lot of green to put at. Here are a few recommended golf courses that Manila has to offer:

Camp Aguinaldo Golf Club
Located at the heart of the EDSA revolution (well, not really, but the area is within the vicinity of the EDSA people power revolution), the Camp Aguinaldo Golf Club features a challenging course, even for seasoned golfers. The 18-hole golf course features a lot of hazards, tight driving holes and its signature par-3 island green. For a short-distanced course, the Camp Aguinaldo Golf Course Club provides enough challenge that it has local golf celebrities as its regulars.

Valley Golf & Country Club
More or less an hour’s away (depending on traffic) from the Makati city district, the Valley Golf & Country Club’s golf courses provide the much needed thrill (and for some, relaxation) one gets from traveling. The two courses – the executive course and the south course – are exclusively composed of only the best Tifton grass, guaranteeing the first-class golfing experience any golfing enthusiast is looking for. The 18-hole, par-70 executive course is known for it’s hole 6 island green; while the par-72 south course is known for holding multiple Philippine Open golfing competitions.

Alabang Country Club
Located within the prestigious and secure village of Barangay Ayala Alabang, the par-72 Alabang Country Club golf course is known for its tricky sand traps. The course caters to golfers of all levels, and provides sufficient facilities (such as the pitching green, putting green and two halfway tee houses) for a relaxed, laid-back game.

Royal Northwoods Golf and Country Club
Ever wanted to golf while having a majestic view of a wondrous mountain range? The Royal Northwoods Golf and Country Club can do just that. Located north of Manila, this 60 hectare, 18 hole golf course’s natural beauty is only offset with its strategically placed water hazards and sand traps. Make sure not to be distracted by the Mount Arayat and Sierra Madre mountain range!
