The Manila Southwoods Golf and Country Club has earned worldwide acclaim for its two Jack Nicklaus Signature golf courses. Both Championship courses have hosted prestigious international tournaments, including the World Amateur Golf Team Championships in 1996, The Philippine Opens of 1994, 1995, 1996 and 1999 and the Casino Filipino Open in 1999.

The Legends, completed in 1992, is a friendly course for high handicappers and at the same time presents a real challenge for more accomplished players trying to shoot low numbers. 

The Masters, at 7,225 yards and with water in play on 15 holes, requires both length and finesse. Universally acclaimed as one of the best courses in Asia, the touring pros of the Asian PGA voted the Masters at Southwoods “Venue of the Year” for 1999 and 2000.

Played from the proper tees, the Masters and Legends courses offer fair challenges for golfers of all levels. Jack Nicklaus’ attention to architectural flow and the variety of shots that must be boldly struck combined with superb conditioning and maintenance, a sterling clubhouse and a convivial though thoroughly professional staff, make playing golf at Manila Southwoods a thoroughly pleasurable experience.
