Frequently Asked Questions
What's the golf experience like at the Puerto Princesa City Baywalk Golf Course?
You'll find a straightforward, enjoyable 18-hole course right by the bay, offering some genuinely pleasant views, especially as the sun starts to dip. It's not a championship layout, but it's well-maintained and provides a fun challenge for all skill levels, often with a friendly local vibe.
Is Puerto Princesa a worthwhile destination for a dedicated golf trip, considering it only has one course?
While it's not a multi-course golf mecca, Puerto Princesa is absolutely worth it if you're looking for a relaxed golf experience combined with incredible natural beauty. We recommend it as a fantastic add-on to explore Palawan's wonders, rather than solely for a golf-intensive vacation.
When is the best time of year to play golf in Puerto Princesa, and what should I know about booking?
The dry season, from November to May, is your best bet for ideal playing conditions - expect sunny skies and less humidity. Booking ahead isn't usually critical unless you're playing on a weekend, but it's always smart to call the course a day or two before your desired tee time.
What are the typical costs for a round of golf in Puerto Princesa, and is it good value?
You can expect green fees to be quite reasonable, often in the range of 1,500-2,500 PHP for 18 holes, which usually includes a caddy. We think it offers excellent value for a well-kept course with scenic views, especially when compared to other regional destinations.
Beyond the golf course, what unique experiences should I plan for in Puerto Princesa to complement my golf trip?
You absolutely must visit the Puerto Princesa Underground River, a UNESCO World Heritage site - it's an unforgettable natural wonder. We also highly recommend island hopping tours to Honda Bay for snorkeling and beach relaxation, making for a truly well-rounded Palawan adventure.
