Nicklaus. Palmer. Player. Faldo. Langer. Couples.
You don't need their first names to know who they are. They are
among past and present-day cream of the crop when it comes to
links. And not one of them would put his stamp of approval on
a golf course without being representative of their excellence.
By design, the quality of many golf courses in the Philippines
have these legendary golfers' signatures on them. Of the more
than 300 courses in the Philippines, over 70 are world-class.
"The Grand Tandems of Philippines Golf"
in cavite takes you to the Riviera with its rolling hills, verdant
foliage, coconut trees, cool springs and waterfalls. Puerto Azul's
water hazard on its par 3 17th hole, is the China Sea itself.

approach shots. "Four of the best" amidst cosmopolitan
surroundings in the heart of the business district, sports Eastridge
Golf Club with its beautiful, man-made lagoons. Wack Wack Golf
