Clark Sun Valley Golf & Country Club

This 36-hole Korean-owned golf course, Clark Sun Valley Golf and Country Club is a mere 27 minutes from Angeles City and is very close to the city. If you are coming from Manila, allow around two hours, but that will depend on the time of day.

This relatively new club has two good 18-hole golf courses. The first 18 holes are called the Clark Course or the Dongwon Course and are 7,127 yards long. The second 18-hole golf course is the Sun Valley Course, which is shorter at 7,015 yards.

The golf club is located in a valley with incredible slopes and elevations, making it a fun but challenging golfing experience.

The two 72-par golf courses have uphill and downhill sloping fairways, thick bushes, and ravines, creating a thrilling course for golfers of all levels. In addition to the elevated tee boxes and tricky fairways, undulating greens are surrounded by bunkers and sand traps.

Sun Valley is known for its breathtaking views of natural attractions, such as streams and waterfalls, and its panoramic view of Mount Pinatubo.

Golf carts are compulsory but very welcome as the elevations are very steep. They have large double buggies here so that you can drive around the course with your playing partner.

Its Korean-run clubhouse sits on top of the course and provides meals ranging from Korean to Filipino dishes. In addition to restaurants, the clubhouse is also equipped with facilities, including lockers, shower rooms, tea houses, cafes, and a Pro Shop.

It may not be a course for the purist, but it is excellent fun and numerous photo opportunities.
