Canlubang Golf and Country Club

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the main difference between Canlubang's North and South courses, and which one should I play?

You'll find the North Course is generally more forgiving with wider fairways, making it a great warm-up or a pleasant round if you're not looking for extreme challenge. The South Course, however, is where the real test lies-it's tighter, more undulating, and demands precise shot-making, especially on its tricky greens. We recommend playing the South if you're seeking a true championship experience.

When is the best time of year to play at Canlubang to avoid the heat or rain?

To truly enjoy Canlubang, aim for the dry season, typically from November to May. You'll experience cooler mornings and less humidity, making those long walks much more comfortable. Avoid the peak rainy months from June to October, as downpours can make conditions soggy and less enjoyable.

Is Canlubang Golf and Country Club open to the public, and what should a non-member expect regarding green fees?

Canlubang is primarily a members-only club, but you can often play as a guest if accompanied by a member or through a reciprocal arrangement. Expect green fees for non-members to be on the higher side, typically ranging from PHP 3,000 to PHP 5,000, not including caddie fees and cart rentals. It's always best to call ahead and inquire about guest play availability and current rates.

How easy is it to get to Canlubang from Manila, and what's the best way to travel there?

Getting to Canlubang from Manila is quite straightforward, usually taking about an hour to an hour and a half, depending on traffic. We highly recommend arranging private transportation or a ride-sharing service for convenience, as public transport options directly to the club are limited. The drive itself is scenic once you're out of the city sprawl, leading you into the lush Laguna countryside.

What makes playing at Canlubang a unique experience compared to other courses in the Philippines?

Canlubang stands out for its two distinct, mature championship courses set within a sprawling, well-maintained estate, offering a sense of grandeur you don't always find. The elevation changes on both courses provide stunning views of the surrounding Laguna landscape, especially on the South Course's back nine. You'll appreciate the consistently excellent course conditions and the challenging yet fair layouts that truly test your game.
