A golf course does not always need unusual terrains, steeps, wind, or dog-legs to be considered an exciting game. Villamor Golf Club is a perfect example of it. Unlike other golf courses and country clubs with angled fairways, the Villamor Golf Course has a pretty flat designed layout and fairway.
What makes this 18 hole Par 72 golf course unique is the dominance of several trees like narra, mahogany, eucalyptus, and mango. Combine that with the challenge of narrow fairways and water hazards, no wonder Villamor is known to be one of the popular choices as the every day golf course.
Besides the playability, another benefit is that the Villamor golf course is very accessible and is located in the heart of the city, minutes away from Manila’s Ninoy Aquino International Airport Terminal 3.
Golfers who seek to play golf at Villamor Golf Club can visit Pro Shop near the golf course. It provides quality equipment for the golfers. Others can visit the barber shop for a quick groom before the game starts. Beforehand, golfers can practice their swing and putt in the golf club wide course. Afterwards, they can place their golf equipment in the locker, then take a fresh bath inside the shower room. Lastly, golfers can also enjoy most of their time relaxing in other Villamor Golf Club facilities like cafes and tee houses.
Villamor is an 18-hole par-72 championship golf course located on the corner of Lawton Avenue and South Super Highway. It sits just to the south of the Makati Business District, on the highway going south. The course has a total yardage of 6,681. It is fairly flat, but still challenging to golfers of all standards due to the trees and water hazards. The fairways are lined with agoho, ipil-ipil, nara and mango trees. Indian tulips mark the 150-yard point on each hole. The grass on the fairways is native carabao grass, which is ideally suited to the tropical climate. Facilities include a driving range, practice putting greens, practice pitching greens, golfer lounge, tee house, pro shop, men and ladies changing rooms, massage facilities. I have not tried the massage facilities but the tee house and changing rooms are clean and serviceable.
