Wack Wack Golf and Country Club
Frequently Asked Questions
I'm visiting Manila and want to play Wack Wack. Is it difficult for non-members to get a tee time?
Getting a tee time at Wack Wack as a non-member can be tricky, as it's a very exclusive club. Your best bet is to play as a guest of a member or inquire about reciprocal arrangements if your home club has one. We recommend calling well in advance to check for any limited public slots, especially on weekdays.
When is the best time of year to play Wack Wack to avoid the heat and rain?
You'll find the most comfortable playing conditions at Wack Wack during the dry season, typically from November to May. We highly recommend aiming for the cooler months of December to February, when the humidity is lower and the fairways are at their prime. Avoid the peak rainy season from June to October if you can.
Wack Wack has two courses, East and West. Which one should I prioritize playing, and what's the main difference?
If you only have time for one, we suggest the East Course for its historical significance and championship pedigree. The East is generally longer and more demanding, while the West offers a slightly more forgiving, yet still challenging, round. Both are meticulously maintained, but the East truly tests your strategic thinking.
What's the caddie situation like at Wack Wack? Should I expect a forecaddie or a full-service caddie?
You'll definitely have a caddie at Wack Wack, and they are typically full-service, walking with you and providing excellent local knowledge. They are invaluable for reading the greens and navigating the course's subtle undulations. We recommend being generous with your tip, as they work hard to enhance your experience.
What's a unique challenge or a must-see hole at Wack Wack that I should look forward to?
Keep an eye out for the iconic 13th hole on the East Course, a par-3 that demands precision over water. The course's mature trees and strategic bunkering provide a classic test, but it's the subtle elevation changes and well-protected greens that truly define the Wack Wack experience. You'll appreciate the old-school design that rewards thoughtful play.
