SUMMIT POINT GOLF & RESIDENTIAL ESTATES
🇵🇭 Lipa, Batangas, PH
Designed by Robert Trent Jones, Robert Trent Jones, Jr.
Summit Point Golf & Residential Estates sits in the elevated terrain of Lipa, Batangas, roughly ninety kilometers south of Manila. The course represents a collaboration between Robert Trent Jones and Robert Trent Jones Jr., bringing the family's signature design principles to the Philippine highlands. The property takes advantage of natural elevation changes and volcanic topography characteristic of the Batangas region, with views extending toward Taal Lake and the surrounding countryside.
The routing incorporates the rolling terrain into a layout that emphasizes strategic bunkering and large, contoured greens typical of the Jones design philosophy. Water features appear on several holes, and the course requires thoughtful club selection given the elevation shifts throughout the round. The climate and soil conditions support dense tropical vegetation that frames many fairways, while the higher elevation provides somewhat cooler temperatures than Metro Manila.
Summit Point functions as the centerpiece of a residential development, serving both members and resort guests. The club facilities include dining areas that overlook the course and surrounding landscape. The layout has hosted regional amateur competitions and corporate tournaments, contributing to its profile among courses in the southern Luzon golf corridor. Players traveling from Manila often combine rounds here with visits to other Batangas courses or the nearby lake resorts, making it part of a broader golf destination area south of the capital.
