Below is a list of the best golf courses in Manila, Philippines.

Play golf in Manila Philippines
Manila is the capital city of the Philippines, located in South East Asia. An incredible 7,000 islands make up the country with the largest being Luzon, home Manila.  Thanks to the popularity of the locals along, with visiting golfers, the country has a fantastic selection of golf courses, especially around Manila.

The Philippines are most popular during the dry season, between November and April. Temperatures are high during March and April, so it’s best to travel during the cooler months of December to February.

Situated on Luzon Island, Manila is a mix of modern skyscrapers and Spanish colonial architecture.  The main airport and entry point to the Philippines is Ninoy Aquino International Airport.

The nightlife is varied from great bars and clubs, to casinos and theatres, some showing Broadway shows.

There are around 75 golf clubs in this region, and we have listed what we think are the top courses near the city.

South Forbes Golf Club


The course was built in 2006. Relatively short in length as it just a par 67 and with seven par 3 holes, the course is by all means not easy to play as the layout was carved out of rolling country side with many holes laid out across hills and some chasms. What it lacks in length is fully made up with challenges off the tee and difficulties in going for the greens.
