Sherwood Hills Golf & Country Club
About this course
Sherwood Hills Golf & Country Club occupies rolling terrain in Trece Martires City, part of the Cavite province south of Metro Manila. The course bears Jack Nicklaus's signature, reflecting the design principles the architect applied to numerous international projects during his prolific career. The property sits in an area that has seen considerable residential and golf development over recent decades, as the region has grown into a popular destination for Manila-based golfers seeking weekend retreats within reasonable driving distance of the capital. The layout takes advantage of natural elevation changes characteristic of Cavite's inland topography, with fairways that move through varied terrain rather than occupying flat ground. Nicklaus designs typically emphasize strategic bunkering, generous landing areas for well-struck shots, and greens that reward precision in approach play. The course incorporates water features and mature tree plantings that frame holes and define playing corridors, elements common to championship-caliber courses in tropical climates. Sherwood Hills functions as both a golf facility and a country club with residential components, serving a membership drawn largely from Metro Manila's professional and business communities. The club provides dining and social amenities that complement the golf experience, following the country club model prevalent throughout the Philippines. The course contributes to Cavite's reputation as a significant golf region within Luzon, where multiple championship layouts have been developed to serve the growing demand for quality golf in the greater Manila area.

Getting there
Sherwood Hills Golf & Country Club is reached most conveniently via Ninoy Aquino International Airport (MNL) in Manila, approximately 45 kilometers to the north, followed by a 45-minute to one-hour drive south through the Cavite province toward Trece Martires City. The route transitions from the congested outskirts of Metro Manila into increasingly rural landscape, passing through small towns and agricultural land as the terrain begins to rise gently into the foothills. Private aviation options are available at nearby airstrips serving the greater Manila region, though most international visitors arrive through MNL. The final approach winds through the verdant countryside surrounding Trece Martires, where the club's manicured grounds emerge as a serene sanctuary of championship fairways and lush tropical vegetation, a welcome respite from the intensity of the capital.
