Golf in the Philippines: Golf Courses, Driving Ranges and Country Clubs

History of Golf in the Philippines and Golf Trivia
Irish engineers building the Panay railroad introduced the game in the country.

Santa Barbara Golf Course, established in 1908, in Iloilo was the first golf club in the Philippines (not the golf course around Intramuros).

According to pop historian Ambeth Ocampo, "Wack-Wack Golf and Country Club was founded by William Shaw because his wife and 'mestizo' child were not welcome in the Manila Golf Club then in Caloocan" back in those days when Filipinos were separated from the Americans due to segregation (and you thought the Americans treated Filipinos fairly, huh?)

Since then the Philippines became a golfing paradise and mecca!
