We pride ourselves on providing a truly exceptional golfing destination.
For those who appreciate a thoughtfully designed challenge, the Andy Dye course, affectionately known as the "Beast of the East," is a true spectacle. Andy Dye masterfully incorporated the natural beauty of a meandering canyon, creating a course filled with strategically placed, deep bunkers and a compelling risk-and-reward element on each hole. The Sir Nick Faldo course, at a formidable 7,443 yards, offers a demanding test with its tight driving holes and unforgiving bunkers, where precision is paramount. Even with its challenging nature, the greens of the Sir Nick Faldo course are maturing into one of the most respected tests of golf in the country.
If you prefer a course that caters to the weekend golfer, the Isao Aoki course presents wide fairways and minimal rough, making it more forgiving. However, its greens can still offer a delightful challenge if you're not careful with your approach. For a touch of artistry, the Greg Norman course showcases his signature landscaping, lush vegetation, and water features, offering a visually stunning and enjoyable experience. Regardless of your preferred style, our state-of-the-art clubhouse facilities are second to none, ensuring your visit is comfortable and memorable. We eagerly await your arrival for an unforgettable golfing getaway.
Summit Point Golf & Country Club, established in 2006 to cater to the growing number of visitors in the Lipa City area, offers an exceptional golfing experience just a scenic 87 kilometers south of Manila.

Prepare to be transported to golfing meccas as Summit Point Golf & Country Club meticulously recreates legendary holes from prestigious locations like the hallowed grounds of St. Andrews, the manicured perfection of Augusta National, the dramatic coastal beauty of Pebble Beach, and the challenging contours of Spyglass Hill and Cypress Point, among others.

Sherwood Hills is a truly exceptional golfing destination, holding the distinction of being one of only three Jack Nicklaus signature courses in the entire country, and it’s even the Golden Bear’s personal favorite. Located just a convenient half-hour drive from the hustle and bustle of Makati City, this course is an absolute must-play for any golf enthusiast. Its creation stemmed from a moment when Jack Nicklaus, while overseeing construction at Manila Southwoods, was invited to view another property. He was so impressed by what he saw that he personally designed these eighteen superb holes, which have consistently been ranked among the top five courses in the Philippines. Furthermore, since 2011, the Sherwood Hills course has earned a prestigious spot on the Rolex World’s Top 100 Golf Courses, a testament to its world-class quality.
What sets Sherwood Hills apart is how masterfully Jack Nicklaus embraced the natural topography. The course, characterized by its open spaces with minimal trees but abundant thick brush, unfolds in a style reminiscent of an inland links course. It stretches over 7,265 yards and boasts remarkably wide fairways, which are a delightful feature for golfers, complemented by mostly smaller greens. These generous fairways are perfect for employing the classic bump-and-run technique, a hallmark of traditional links golf. Be prepared for the unique challenge of cogon grass in the rough; it can be quite formidable, especially if you find yourself with a significant distance still to cover to reach the green. The front nine is dramatically sculpted with volcanic gorges gracing one side, and the first hole even presents a challenging tee shot over a gorge before the green.
The back nine at Sherwood Hills offers a picturesque journey, weaving along the edge of one of the three serene lakes that are beautifully integrated into the course's layout. This section culminates in a demanding 452-yard par 4, where the green is strategically placed on another of the tranquil lakes, providing a memorable finishing hole. The course thoughtfully balances longer, strategic par 4s, with eight of them exceeding 400 yards, and more approachable par 5s, where reaching the green in two shots is a distinct possibility. After your game, you can relax and rejuvenate in our well-appointed clubhouse, which offers a delightful restaurant, a fully stocked pro shop, and comfortable locker rooms with showers. For those looking to refine their skills, our practice facilities include dedicated chipping and putting greens, as well as a driving range. We sincerely hope you'll come and experience the magic of Sherwood Hills for yourself.
