This internationally famous 60-hectare, 18-hole par-72 golf course has a total yardage of 7,010 measured from the championship tee. The fairways are bounded by lines of elegant looking Agoho (pine) trees, native ipil-ipil, narra and in some areas mango trees. Most of the greens are elevated and are trimmed everyday to a height of 9/64 inch. The fairways are planted to carabao grass which is suited for the tropical climate. Indian Tulips serve as 150-yard markers. Villamor has been for many years the host club of Philippine Masters. Although flat, it has been challenging to international play in view of its arboreal features, augmented by some water hazards. Wind has also played a role in many tournaments.

Wack
Wack Golf & Country Club
Wack Wack has two fine 18-hole courses. One is the
internationally known
East Course
where frequently big tournaments have
been held like the Philippine Open and the World Cup of
1977, the other is the
West Course.
The East Course is a vast layout whose
challenge lies in its water hazards, vast greens and
length of its fairways. Its famous No. 16, a par 3 has
been known to be a make-or-break hole.
The West Course, shorter
and less troublesome, draws the senior and female members
of the club.
With a fine clubhouse Wack Wack is complete with
facilities according to international standards. A must
for the tourist golfer.
Facilities:
Driving range, main restaurants,
airconditioned board and function rooms, upon arrangement.
Bars, tee houses, around the two layouts, adequate locker
rooms for both sexes, swimming pool, tennis court and
massage parlour.
Availability:
