Onward Mangilao Golf Club

Frequently Asked Questions

When is the best time of year to play Onward Mangilao Golf Club, considering Guam's weather?

You'll want to aim for Guam's dry season, typically from December to June, to get the most out of your round at Mangilao. The humidity is lower, and you'll avoid the heavier rains and potential typhoons that can impact play during the wet season. Expect warm temperatures year-round, so hydrate often.

What's the signature experience or 'must-play' hole at Onward Mangilao that truly sets it apart?

Without a doubt, the par-3 12th hole is Mangilao's crown jewel and a truly unforgettable experience. You're hitting over a dramatic ocean inlet to a green perched on a cliff, with the Pacific Ocean stretching endlessly behind it. It's a photo-op and a challenge you won't soon forget.

How challenging is Onward Mangilao, and what specific advice do you have for playing it well?

Mangilao is a fair but demanding test, especially when the wind picks up off the ocean, which it often does. Focus on accurate tee shots to avoid the jungle on one side and the ocean on the other, and pay close attention to club selection on the exposed holes. The greens are generally true but can have subtle breaks.

What should I expect regarding green fees and booking a tee time at Onward Mangilao?

Green fees at Mangilao are on the higher side, reflecting its resort quality and stunning oceanfront location, but it's worth the splurge for the views. We highly recommend booking your tee time well in advance, especially if you're aiming for a morning slot or playing during peak season, as it's a popular course.

Is Onward Mangilao a good choice if I'm looking for a full Guam golf experience, or should I combine it with other courses?

Mangilao is absolutely a must-play for its unique cliffside holes and breathtaking ocean vistas, making it a cornerstone of any Guam golf trip. While it offers a fantastic round, we suggest pairing it with a visit to one of Guam's other courses, like LeoPalace, to experience the island's full range of golf landscapes.
