Zamboanga Golf Course & Beach Park

Originally known as the Zamboanga Golf and Country Club, it was founded in June 1910 by Gov. John "Blackjack" Pershing of the Moro Province. This is one of the oldest golf courses in the Philippines with Pershing himself as the club's first president.

Approx. 6 kms. on the west coast, accessible by jeepneys and minibuses.

The golf club, a par 72 at 6,404 yards, is considered as one of the best in Mindanao. It is a golf course that both the average and professional golfer will enjoy. The course has elevated greens which can be tricky.

Unusual Bunkers

It has an interesting layout with winding fairways, doglegs, and good elevated greens using Tifton 228. Its bunkers have an unusual pinkish sand from Sta. Cruz Island.

Although Zamboanga's first nine has a fairly flat terrain, the second nine is fairly rolling, skirting around the Basilan Strait for a fine ocean view.

Interesting rounds along this tree lined layout await the average golfer, or the seasoned campaigner.

Their facilities include a driving range, practice putting green, and tee houses. The club also has a restaurant, function rooms, male and female locker rooms, and shower facilities.
