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.

    • First golfing trip to Thailand, and Golfasian were amazing! From the initial emails queries right through to meeting me for a round of golf in Bangkok, Golfasian were invested in making my trip memorable and they completely excelled my expectations. The team took the time to fully understand my interests and structured a tour across Thailand that was incredible. The drivers, the caddies, tte ournament staff, and the support staff all do an awesome job to make things as seamless as possible for you. They really know their stuff, they know the courses, the caddies, and the accomodation which ensures you gain the eperience you are truly looking for. Thanks to AJ, Richard, Brian and the extended team in Chiang Mai (two ball tournament) for a magical Thai golfing experience, I'm absolutely hooked and I'm already preparing my next adventure with Golfasian after being home for two days! If you are looking for the ultimate golfing experience in Thailand (or anywhere in SE Asia for that matter), be sure to book it through Golfasian.

    • Our recent trip to the Pattaya area for 6 rounds of golf was excellent, and went very smoothly. Golfasian's itinerary was well executed, and everything worked like clockwork. Their drivers were exceptional in their service, and would register us at the golf club while we went straight to the locker room or driving range.

      All this at very reasonable price levels makes Golfasian the number one choice for our group, and this is confirmed by us planning our golf holiday through Golfasian for the 8th year in a row.

      Thank you Ian Morgan, and see you guys next year.
