The Masters course at Manila Southwoods Golf & Country Club is one of two championship layouts at the sprawling resort development in Cavona, Cavite, roughly 40 kilometers south of Manila. The course was designed by Gary Player and opened in the early 1990s, reflecting Player's signature approach to course architecture: strategic bunkering, elevated greens, and demanding shot values that reward precision over length. The design sits within the broader Southwoods property, which encompasses residential communities and multiple recreational facilities across the region's rolling terrain. The course routing takes advantage of the site's natural topography, with holes that move through tree-lined fairways and across water features typical of Philippine resort golf. Player's design emphasizes risk-reward positioning, with bunkers and water hazards placed to challenge aggressive play while offering conservative routes for those who prefer position over distance. The greens are characteristically firm and contoured, demanding accurate approach play. The Masters has hosted regional tournaments and serves as the primary championship venue for the Southwoods complex, attracting serious golfers throughout Southeast Asia. The course maintains a membership structure alongside resort play, and the club culture reflects both the competitive aspirations of local and visiting players and the broader leisure amenities of the property. The setting combines manicured fairways with views of the surrounding landscape, typical of modern Philippine resort golf developments that cater to both domestic and international visitors.
