Philippines stay and play golf packages give you the most direct and logistically clean version of a golf holiday in the archipelago: accommodation, rounds, and transfers bundled into a single booking, with the resort experience built around the golf rather than treated as a separate arrangement.
The current flagship package in the Philippines stay and play collection is Fairways and Bluewater Golf Resort Stay and Play on Boracay Island, a 4-day, 3-night format covering two rounds at the only championship course on one of the world’s most recognised beach islands. Designed by Graham Marsh across 150 hectares of rolling island terrain, Fairways and Bluewater Resort Golf and Country Club is an 18-hole championship layout with ocean views and strategic bunkering throughout. The resort attached to the course has private beach access, infinity pools, and spa facilities on the same property, which means golfers who finish their round walk back to a beachfront resort rather than organising a separate transfer. The combination of a properly designed championship course and White Beach on the same island is the core proposition of the Boracay stay and play format.
GolfLux can extend the Philippines stay and play collection on request to include additional resort options across Tagaytay Highlands, Splendido Taal Golf Club, Manila Southwoods Golf and Country Club, and Alta Vista Golf and Country Club in Cebu, depending on your preferred destination, group size, and travel dates. Contact GolfLux directly to discuss the available formats and current pricing.
The Philippines stay and play collection currently features one package: Fairways and Bluewater Golf Resort on Boracay, a four-day, two-round stay at the island’s only golf facility. That is the complete picture, and it is worth being direct about it rather than suggesting a broader selection exists.
The honest reason this works is that Boracay is one of the few destinations in the Philippines where the stay and play format makes complete logistical sense. Fairways and Bluewater Resort operates the golf course and the hotel on the same 150-hectare property, with the beach, dining, and resort amenities within the same footprint. Arriving on Boracay means taking a short ferry from Caticlan Airport to the island and transferring directly to the resort. From that point, every element of the trip, golf, accommodation, meals, beach time, is on-site. You do not coordinate between separate vendors, manage transfers between hotel and course, or navigate the resort’s relationship with a third-party club. The Fairways and Bluewater Golf Resort Stay and Play 4 Days 2 Rounds covers exactly that self-contained format across four days with two rounds on the Graham Marsh-designed course.
The course itself is a serious layout built across 150 hectares of the island’s interior terrain, with rolling fairways and ocean views visible from several holes. Two rounds across four days gives enough time to approach the layout differently on each visit, adjusting to the wind direction and course conditions without the experience feeling repetitive.
Boracay has one course. If two rounds across four days is not enough golf for your trip, the practical structure is to combine Boracay with Manila or Clark on either end of the island stay.
Manila sits about an hour away by air from Caticlan Airport, with Jack Nicklaus courses at Manila Southwoods, tournament-pedigree layouts at Wack Wack, and Arnold Palmer’s design at Orchard Golf and Country Club all within reach. Two or three rounds in Manila before flying to Boracay gives the trip a meaningful volume of different layouts before the island finish. The 5 Days Golf in Manila and Boracay covers exactly this routing. Clark, north of Manila with its own international airport and a concentration of courses including Mimosa Plus and Pradera Verde, is the alternative entry point for golfers who want to avoid Manila traffic entirely. The 5 Days Golf in Clark and Boracay follows the same structure from the north.
For golfers whose priority is purely the stay and play format on Boracay without a mainland leg, the single package on this page covers that cleanly.
The Boracay stay and play package suits golfers who want the beach holiday and the golf in equal measure, with neither side requiring its own separate itinerary. Boracay’s white sand beach is one of the most consistently well-regarded in the Philippines, and a non-golfer spending four days there while their partner plays two rounds has a full program that does not depend on the golf schedule. The island has water sports, spa facilities, restaurants along the main beach road, and enough activity to fill mornings and evenings without advance planning.
It also suits golfers making their first trip to the Philippines who want to experience the island side of the country before committing to a mainland golf circuit. Boracay’s compact geography makes it easy to navigate, the resort handles the logistics, and the combination of golf in the morning and beach in the afternoon is a format that does not require any planning beyond the booking itself. For golfers who want more courses across a longer Philippines itinerary, the Philippines Golf Packages page covers the full range of multi-day options across Manila, Clark, Cebu, Tagaytay, and beyond.
The 4-day Fairways and Bluewater Golf Resort Stay and Play package covers 3 nights at the Fairways and Bluewater Resort on Boracay Island, two rounds of golf at Fairways and Bluewater Resort Golf and Country Club, private airport transfers between Caticlan or Kalibo Airport and the resort, and GolfLux’s 24/7 local support throughout the stay. Caddie fees and golf cart access are included. Flights, additional meals, and personal items are not included. Contact GolfLux for current pricing based on your travel dates and room preference.

The most practical route to Boracay is to fly into Caticlan Airport, also known as Godofredo P. Ramos Airport, which is the closest airport to the island. From Caticlan, a short bangka boat transfer takes approximately 10 to 15 minutes to reach the island. Alternatively, Kalibo International Airport, served by more airlines including budget carriers, is around 1.5 hours from Caticlan by road before the boat crossing. GolfLux coordinates the airport pickup and boat transfer as part of every Boracay package, so there is nothing to arrange independently on arrival.

Yes. The Graham Marsh-designed course plays across naturally rolling terrain with strategic bunkering and ocean views, and the layout is enjoyable and manageable for a range of handicap levels without being technically punishing on every hole. Multiple tee box options allow golfers to adjust the challenge, and the course is not as exposed to wind as some coastal layouts in the Philippines, making it a consistent and enjoyable round regardless of conditions. Professional caddies are available throughout and provide meaningful assistance with yardages and green reading for visiting golfers.

November to May is the dry season on Boracay and the most reliable window for both golf and beach time. December to February is peak season, when White Beach and the golf course are at their most popular, so advance booking is strongly recommended for this period. March and April offer dry conditions with lower accommodation rates and a quieter island atmosphere. June to October brings the wet season with stronger winds and heavier rain, which can disrupt both rounds and beach plans. Most golfers planning a Philippines stay and play package target the November to May window.
