The Philippines is for the golfer who wants championship design and a tropical holiday at a fraction of the cost of the better known Asian destinations.

Play in the dry season from November to April, with the coolest and most comfortable golf in December, January and February. April and May turn very hot, and the wet season from June brings heavy afternoon storms that can interrupt play, though mornings often stay clear.
