Wack Wack Golf & Country Club

One of the country’s most exclusive and elite golf clubs is the Wack Wack Golf & Country Club. Located 9.2 km East of the capital, it takes roughly 45 minutes to get there.

The club was built in 1930 by the American resident William Shaw, who established the club’s two 18-hole championship courses, called simply the East and the West courses.

Championship East Course

The East course is a bit longer running at 7,317 yards, and is a bit harder to play of the two courses here.

It has hosted some of the country’s top tournaments including Asian Tour events, the Philippine Golf Open Championship, and the 1977 World Cup.

Its small rolling and elevated greens, water hazards, and long fairways are what makes the course such a good golf venue for these elite tournaments.

A particular favorite among by players of all standards is its 8th Hole. A tricky Par-3, this hole has been known to be a “make-or-break” hole, even for the seasoned professional golfers.

Shorter West Course

The West Course is more suitable for the average golfer. It is a bit shorter in length running at 6,540 yards, and easier to play compared to the East Course.

The West Course is mostly played by the senior members, females and guests of the golf club. The course was upgraded into an all-weather championship course. It is where sponsored tournaments are generally held.

There are several facilities to accommodate players’ further playing and comfort needs. The club has a full driving range and tee houses on the two courses.

The clubhouse has a dining area, bar & lounge, banquet halls, function rooms, male & female air-conditioned locker rooms, gym, pro shop, gift shop, barber shop, beauty parlor, and swimming pool.
