Clark is the most golf-dense destination in the Philippines outside Metro Manila, and for many visiting golfers it’s the better choice.
Located in the plains of Pampanga about 80 kilometres north of Manila, the former US air base has been redeveloped into one of Southeast Asia’s more serious golf destinations. The numbers speak for themselves: more than 15 courses within a compact area, meaning you can play a different layout every day for two weeks without repeating yourself. Course quality ranges from strong resort tracks to genuinely challenging designs that hold their own against regional competition.
The standout names are well established. Mimosa Plus Golf Course delivers 36 holes split across two distinct layouts: the Mountain Course plays through forested terrain with elevation changes, while the Acacia Lakeview Course opens up with water features and wider fairways. Fontana Leisure Parks Golf Club combines a well-maintained layout with full resort facilities. Forest Hills Golf & Country Club is the course most serious golfers point to when asked what Clark does best, with a design that demands genuine course management.
Clark International Airport has direct connections to several Asian cities, which makes it a practical entry point for international golfers who want to skip Manila entirely. Green fees are competitive across the board, and the concentration of courses means more rounds per day of travel.
