Courses

Frequently Asked Questions

With only two courses, is Western Visayas a worthwhile golf destination, or should I look elsewhere in the Philippines?

Don't let the low number fool you-Western Visayas offers a distinct and memorable golf experience. We found both courses provide unique challenges and stunning local scenery, making it a perfect short golf getaway rather than a multi-week tour. It's less about quantity and more about the quality of a relaxed, authentic Philippine golf day.

When's the best time of year to plan a golf trip to Western Visayas to avoid bad weather?

We always recommend visiting during the dry season, typically from November to May, for the most enjoyable rounds. You'll find clear skies and comfortable temperatures, perfect for tackling the courses without the interruption of sudden downpours. Avoid the peak rainy season from June to October if you want consistent play.

What's the overall vibe of a golf trip to Western Visayas, and can I easily combine it with other activities?

The vibe here is wonderfully laid-back and authentic; it's not a bustling golf resort scene, but a chance to experience local charm. You can absolutely combine golf with exploring the region's beautiful beaches, historical sites, or sampling the fantastic local cuisine. We found it easy to balance a morning round with afternoon adventures.

How much should I budget for a round of golf in Western Visayas, and is it easy to secure tee times?

Expect green fees to be quite reasonable, typically ranging from 1,500 to 3,000 PHP per round, often including a caddy fee. While it's generally easy to secure tee times, especially on weekdays, we always advise booking a few days in advance, particularly if you're planning a weekend game. The caddies are excellent and truly enhance the experience.

What kind of golf challenges can I expect from the courses in Western Visayas?

You'll encounter courses that demand precision rather than brute force, often featuring tight fairways, strategic water hazards, and undulating greens. One course offers stunning ocean views and tricky coastal winds, while the other provides a more inland, tree-lined test of accuracy. Be prepared for a good walk and some thoughtful shot-making.
