Vision & Implementation

The Manila Southwoods Golf and Country Club is designed to be the consummate golf and leisure experience, an environmentally responsible haven for enjoyment with a world-class reputation for service excellence, a pride and inspiration of the Filipino Nation.  

On September 20, 1990 the Manila Southwoods Golf  & Country Club was officially introduced to the public by its owners and developer, the Fil-Estate Golf and Development, Inc.

 It is the first master planned residential development and championship golf course in the Philippines, comprising 430 hectares.

 It is said to be a masterpiece and a veritable "Garden of Eden" created by Jack Nicklaus, the 1998 Golfer of the Century Awardee and designer of 120 other golf courses in five continents.  He made sure that Southwoods is unique, part of the natural character of the terrain, modern and classy.

Manila Southwoods is located at the CALABARZON area of Barangay Cabilang Baybay, Carmona, Cavite.  It is approximately 34 kilometers south of Metro Manila via the South Expressway.

The club features two 18-hole golf courses - east course - the Masters, and the Legends.  Both are designed for world-class tournament championship play.

In addition to the golf club facilities, Manila Southwoods is a self-contained master- planned community with mixed-use residential and commercial areas.

With the Tifton greens supported by a computerized irrigation system, both courses are truly all-weather.  All the other materials, like the pea gravel, the top sand dressing, and the greens mix, were tested and approved by the U.S. Golf Association.
