Orchard Real Estate Golf and Country Club

Frequently Asked Questions

When's the best time to play Orchard Real Estate Golf and Country Club to avoid the heat and rain?

You'll find the weather much more agreeable for a full 18 holes during the dry season, typically from November to May, with less humidity and a lower chance of afternoon downpours. We always aim for a morning tee time to beat the peak midday heat, even in the cooler months, ensuring a more comfortable round.

What makes Orchard Real Estate Golf and Country Club's courses unique, and which one should I play?

Orchard boasts two distinct layouts, the Palmer and the Player, each offering a different challenge. The Palmer course is known for its strategic bunkering and water hazards, demanding precision, while the Player course offers wider fairways but punishes errant shots with dense jungle. We recommend playing both if you have the time, but if you're looking for a true test of strategy, start with the Palmer.

How easy is it to get to Orchard Real Estate Golf and Country Club from Manila, and what should I expect for travel?

Getting to Orchard from Manila typically takes about an hour to an hour and a half, depending on traffic, so plan accordingly. We always suggest arranging transport through your hotel or a reputable car service for a hassle-free journey, as local taxis can sometimes be less reliable for longer trips. Factor in potential rush hour delays if you're heading out during peak times.

Can I play Orchard Real Estate Golf and Country Club as a non-member, and what are the typical green fees?

Yes, Orchard welcomes non-members, though green fees are on the higher side compared to some other Philippine courses, reflecting its premium status. Expect to pay around ₱4,000-₱6,000 for 18 holes, which usually includes a caddie and cart. We always advise calling ahead for current rates and to book your tee time, especially on weekends.

What's the clubhouse experience like at Orchard, and are there good dining options after a round?

The clubhouse at Orchard is quite impressive, offering a comfortable and well-appointed space to relax after your game. You'll find a good selection of local and international dishes at their restaurant, perfect for refueling, and the pro shop is well-stocked with gear and souvenirs. We particularly enjoy grabbing a cold San Miguel Light on the veranda overlooking the 18th green.
