Built in 1907 by Irish expatriates working on the Panay Railways, the Iloilo Golf and Country Club—originally known as the Santa Barbara Golf Course—holds a storied place in Philippine sports history. Recognized as the first Philippine club affiliated with Scotland’s prestigious Royal and Ancient Golf Club of St. Andrews, this heritage site is officially recognized by the National Historical Institute. What began as an exclusive 9-hole course for British migrants was expanded to 18 holes and opened to Filipino golfers in the 1920s, officially adopting its current name in 1947.

Located in Medellin, Northern Cebu, Queen’s Castle Golf and Resort is the region’s newest championship venue, featuring an 18-hole, par-72 course spanning 6,292 yards. Standing out from typical Philippine courses, it uses premium US-imported Platinum TE Paspalum grass to provide a noticeably softer playing surface than standard carabao grass. An advanced drainage system keeps the course playable even through the rainy season.

Set against stunning coastal backdrops, Liloan Golf Club in Cebu delivers a top-tier golfing experience designed for players of all skill levels. The course pairs meticulously maintained fairways and rolling greens with strategic bunkers, making each round both a fun challenge and a visual treat thanks to its panoramic ocean views.

Tucked away in a tranquil valley in Danao City—just 45 minutes from the Cebu International Airport—Club Filipino Inc. de Cebu provides a peaceful retreat for golfers looking to escape the city's hustle. Designed by Peter Chiongbian and his team, this 18-hole course is thoughtfully crafted to suit all skill levels. Mid-to-high handicappers will enjoy a balanced and accessible game from the White Tees, while advanced players will find a true test of strategy and precision from the Blue Tees, which carry a 70.5 course rating.

Founded in 1928 by a group of American, British, and Spanish expatriates, Cebu Country Club holds the title of the oldest golf course in Cebu. Originally a 9-hole layout, it expanded to an 18-hole, Par 71 course in the early 1960s before transitioning to a Par 72 in the 1980s. The layout was later redesigned by golf legend Gary Player in the 1990s.

Established in Cebu City in 1994 and officially opened in 1997, Alta Vista Golf and Country Club is a relatively modern course compared to many of its Philippine counterparts. Developed through a partnership between Santa Lucia Realty and Development Inc. and the Aznar family, the 18-hole course was designed by golf legend Gary Player.
