The Philippines is home to around 200 golf courses and several world-class resorts across its stunning tropical islands. Here’s our best stay & play resort package and nearby courses.
The Philippines is made up of more than 7,000 islands in the western Pacific Ocean in southeast Asia. These tropical islands provide a beautiful landscape of rainforests, picture-postcard beaches and coral waters.
The islands enjoy a tropical climate with temperatures ranging from 25°C to 35°C between November and April, and though the wet season falls between May and October, the rain rarely impacts plans to hit the fairways.
