The Sta. Elena Golf Course

Voted #1 in the Philippines by  Asian Golf Monthly

The Sta. Elena golf course was built in 1990 on a former hundred year old sugar plantation. Sta. Elena's golf course comprises three combinations of nine holes totaling twenty-seven holes. The Makiling course makes up the first nine holes. The Banahaw course makes up holes ten to eighteen. The last set of nine holes is called the Sierra Madre course. Each set of nine holes is named after a specific geographic landmark which serves as its backdrop; Mount Makiling, Mount Banahaw and the Sierra Madre range of mountains.

The Golf Course was designed by the renowned Robert Trent Jones Jr. Throughout their history, both the club and the Golf Course have won numerous awards and accolades:
