Where you'll play
This club offers the largest golfing facility in the Philippines, with an incredible four championship-level courses. It takes only up to one hour to drive there from Makati City, through the South Superhighway and Carmona, Cavite.
You are spoilt for choice here, as these golf courses will suit players at all levels. All four courses are par 72 but with different lengths.
The Isao Aoki course has 6,990 yards, the Greg Norman course has 7,123 yards, the Andy Dye course has 7,323 yards, and the Sir Nick Faldo course runs at a hefty 7,443 yards.
The Andy Dye golf course is known locally as the “Beast of the East,” as it is strategically laid out with numerous deceptive and fairly deep bunkers. Dye used his 18 holes to add difficulty and some cunningly placed sand traps. Initially, his layout took maximum advantage of a spectacular natural canyon that meanders through the course, using traditional and classic golf design with the fundamental elements of risk and reward holes.
The Aoki Course was deliberately designed for the weekend golfer, with its wide-open fairways and negligible rough. The course is not that heavily contoured or bunkered, but some of the greens could pose a problem if you end up on the wrong side of the pin placement. In deference to its designer, the clubhouse has a sushi bar and fishponds, and even the changing rooms have a Japanese-style bath and sauna.
Sir Nick Faldo has designed a long 7,443-yard up-and-down course that will present a golfing test to golfers of any level. There is an array of comprehensive and tight driving holes, where he tests you with bunkers in the most unwelcome spots along the 18 holes. A well-struck drive, however, will most certainly be rewarded.
The greens will test your approach shot and putting touch, as some slope radically away from the line of play. The Faldo course is maturing into one of the most challenging golf courses in the Philippines.
The Greg Norman course has the Norman trademark of carefully planned landscaping, verdant thickets, and water displays. For the top-level golfer, he has created signature holes offering the ultimate golfing pleasure.
Greg Norman has designed a course that has been subtly shaped on the fairways and greens, where accuracy and distance will be put at a premium. It does appear to be a challenging course; however, it would be enjoyed by all.
Their clubhouse facilities are second to none. It might be advisable to book an early tee-off to drive down from Manila before the rush hour traffic.
This all-weather golf course is located on hilly terrain, and was designed by golfing legend Greg Norman.
The course opened in 2002. Each hole has four sets of tees, and the yardage from the back tees is 6,997.
Norman’s par 72 course is both beautiful and challenging. It is a truly majestic course sprawled on a 152-hectare man-made valley nestled amidst the mountain ridges of the Grand Taal, with a dramatic view of the Taal Volcano and lake.
Because of the elevations, it is recommended that you rent a golf cart and hire a golf caddy to assist you in navigating through the course and determining distances towards holes.
Surrounding the Splendido Taal golf course is the 87-hectare fairway lots and residential enclaves of the Splendido Taal Residential Estates.
After your round, enjoy a meal at the club’s fine dining restaurant called La Esquina. A Norman gem.
The Vista Country Club stands as an emerging gem for golf enthusiasts, nestled in the vibrant heart of Pampanga, Clark. This championship 18-hole, par-72 course unfolds across a generous 7,100 yards, seamlessly integrated into the region's gentle, rolling landscape. It presents a delightful challenge, characterized by generous fairways that offer a sense of freedom, yet are artfully guarded by strategically placed bunkers and alluring water hazards. The gently undulating greens are a testament to meticulous care, promising an enjoyable yet engaging experience for golfers of every stripe. The Vista Country Club is designed to be a welcoming haven for casual players while still demanding strategic prowess and precise execution from those seeking a deeper test of their golfing mettle.
Beyond the well-crafted fairways and greens, what truly sets The Vista Country Club apart is its serene countryside ambiance, enveloped by an attractive natural environment. Imagine teeing off with breathtaking panoramic views of the surrounding picturesque landscape, a truly peaceful backdrop to your game. The club's commitment to consistently maintained playing surfaces ensures a delightful experience from the first tee to the final putt. This modern course design, coupled with its tranquil setting, creates a perfect escape for a relaxing round. The convenient proximity to Clark International Airport further enhances its appeal, making it an ideal stop for any golfer planning a holiday in the Philippines, promising a memorable and rejuvenating escape.
You are wholeheartedly invited to discover the charm and playability of The Vista Country Club. Whether you envision a leisurely afternoon with cherished friends or are meticulously planning a multi-course golf itinerary in the Clark region, the course promises an experience that lingers. It's more than just a game of golf; it's an opportunity to reconnect with nature, enjoy beautifully crafted holes, and create lasting memories.

Come experience the best of golf in Pampanga.
Around 23 minutes from Angeles City, Mimosa is located in the shadow of Mount Pinatubo, close to the ex-American Clark Air Base in the Pampanga region. The Philippine country club is two-hours from Manila, making golf on the day of the drive over a good possibility.
Mimosa Plus Golf Course dates back its existence from the time of the Americans in the Philippines. It’s already an iconic golf course with two 18-hole courses—the challenging Mountainview (a par-70) and the scenic Acacia Lakeview ( a par-72). Set against stunning foothill mountains and luscious greens of plants and trees, golf–minded individuals visiting Mimosa will be treated to spectacular scenery.
In 2016, Filinvest, the new owners of Mimosa, took the initiative to develop, renovate, and modernize the courses with the help of Nelson & Haworth Architects. The new Mimosa Plus offers good course conditions, enhanced playability, visually exciting holes, and striking bunker complexes. Greens are large with subtle contours, and the latest variety of zoysia grass turf the fairways, rough, and greens. Outside the main areas are preserved wildlife sanctuaries with over 5,000 different species of flora and fauna.
The Mimosa Plus Golf Course in Clark is open for visitor play and a must-stop for anyone golfing in the Philippines.
