GOLF

Golf is very popular in the Philippines. Because the golf courses were build early last century, the Philippines have some of the oldest fairways in whole Asia.

Golf legends like Robert Trend Jones, Arnold Palmer, Bernhard Langer and Jack Niclaus all had a hand in golf course development. Many courses are at par with the best in the world. At the moment there are more than 50 golf courses in the Philippines.

Three reasons why Golf is so popular in the Philippines:

1. The climate: You can play Golf all year round. The tropical weather with, just enough rainfall, abundant sunshine and the moderate temperatures keep the green in good shape.

2. The costs: Golf is not expensive in the Philippines. You pay for a green fee something between 10$ and 70$ per day, depending on location and the time of the week you play.

3. The surrounding: Many fairways are located in the mountains or at the coast. The friendly climate, the fantastic views, the mountain- or sea breeze, gentle people, all these things make the game an unforgettable experience.
