About this course

The Country Club in Calamba, Laguna represents Tom Weiskopf's work in the Philippines, situated in a region south of Manila known for its volcanic terrain and tropical climate. Calamba lies in the shadow of Mount Makiling, and courses in this area typically navigate rolling topography shaped by ancient lava flows and enriched by volcanic soil. Weiskopf, who designed courses internationally during his post-playing career, brought his characteristic emphasis on strategic shot-making and natural land movement to this layout. The course occupies land that reflects the broader Laguna landscape—a mix of elevation changes, mature vegetation, and the kind of dramatic contours that define golf in this part of Luzon. Weiskopf's design philosophy generally favored wide fairways that reward precision over power, with greens that integrate into existing landforms rather than imposing artificial features. The tropical setting means dense tree cover, often including native hardwoods and palms, frames holes and defines playing corridors. The Country Club serves a membership drawn from the Manila metropolitan area and the surrounding provinces, part of a network of private clubs that anchor golf culture in the Philippines. The facility includes the amenities typical of established country clubs in the region—clubhouse dining that often blends international and Filipino cuisine, practice facilities, and social spaces that function as gathering points for families and business communities alike.

Getting there

The journey to The Country Club begins at Ninoy Aquino International Airport in Manila, the Philippines' primary gateway, followed by a southbound drive of roughly ninety minutes through the evolving landscape of Luzon's Calabarzon region. The route traces the South Luzon Expressway before peeling off toward Calamba, where the urban sprawl gradually yields to the volcanic foothills beneath Mount Makiling's verdant slopes. As the road narrows and the air cools, the final approach delivers you to one of the country's most storied and discreetly guarded clubs - a sanctuary of old-world Philippine golf tradition set against a backdrop of rainforest and legend.
