MANILA SOUTHWOODS MANOR

The Manila Southwoods Golf and Country Club is at the forefront of the golf club industry in the Philippines.

The Club's two (2) Championship Jack Nicklaus Signature golf courses, The Legends and The Masters are the first ever golf courses designed by no less than the legend himself in the Philippines.

The sprawling 140-hectares that make up Manila Southwoods Golf and Country Club, for the exclusive use of its members, is located in Carmona, Cavite approximately 30 kms. south of Makati, Metro Manila. These two-(2) golf courses were the first of many constructed by the leader of golf course development in the country, Fil-Estate Golf and Development Incorporated. State of the art golf course construction was implemented to provide all weather golfing conditions. A weather station and a computerized irrigation system further insures year round golfing enjoyment. The course was scientifically designed with the environment in mind and has an extensive drainage system that captures surface water and funnels it back to the lakes to recycle water.

The focal point of the clubs facilities is the Main Clubhouse that is perched over the 18th green, the 10th hole and the 9th island green of the Masters Course. The Club has a Verandah dining area, an air-conditioned bar, a fine dining area, men's and ladies locker rooms complete with jacuzzi's, saunas and bar.
