Anvaya Cove: A Paradise for Golf Enthusiasts

    For those interested in immigrating to the Philippines, check out this Philippines travel guide: If you had to describe the Philippine coastal course that opened at the end of 2013—Anvaya Cove Golf & Sports Club—in one word, "Wow!" would certainly be appropriate. This "wow" factor includes: another masterpiece by Kevin Ramsey, who designed Nine Bridges (one of the world's top 100 courses); and the magnificent fusion of mountains and sea hidden within the views of most holes. Inheriting the legacy of Nine Bridges, Anvaya offers more than just a stunning seaside golfing experience; it also features distance and hole designs that are quite challenging even for professional players. The par-5 2nd hole follows the ridge, where golfers can catch their first glimpse of the sea and the Bataan mountains across Subic Bay. Several exquisite par-4 holes offer views of Subic Bay or downhill shots toward the beach; some holes jump directly onto 30-meter-high coastal cliffs, allowing you to listen to the roaring waves; and there are holes over 100 meters above sea level that cut through tropical jungles—the course perfectly presents the design philosophy of Ramsey's firm, Golfplan: it looks difficult, but it plays fairly.

 

 

Destination - The Warm Southeast Asian Breeze of the Thousand-Island Nation

Despite having just experienced a typhoon, the Philippines has quickly recovered its tourism enthusiasm as a nation of a thousand islands. It remains the top choice for a nearby island getaway for diving, surfing, and relaxation during the winter and spring. Charming coastal destinations like Boracay, Manila, Bohol, and Subic Bay can satisfy the small joys of families or solo travelers looking to sunbathe, enjoy the warm breeze, and relax in peace. More importantly, it now gives golf and island lovers another compelling reason to visit: top-tier golf. Like Nine Bridges, Anvaya Cove Golf & Sports Club is a private club; those who purchase property here receive a membership, while visitors can book tee times through special club arrangements or hotel reservations.

Hotel - Coastal Luxury in the Philippines

Anvaya Cove is more than just a resort. The Philippine real estate giant, Ayala Land, has built an integrated golf lifestyle community on the coastline about 2.5 hours by car from downtown Manila, on the west side of the Philippine Sea near Subic Bay, encompassing luxury residences, a golf course, a hotel, and a club. The associated luxury hotels include the Fairmont Makati and the Raffles Makati. The resort is adjacent to the Subic Bay Freeport and the Clark International Airport, formerly an air force base, perfectly uniting the needs of golf travelers and high-end residential living at Anvaya.

It is worth mentioning the resort's Beach & Nature Club, which features two restaurants, a water sports center, a comprehensive swimming pool, forty villas, and a vast stretch of the resort's private white sand beach. All members of Anvaya Cove Golf & Sports Club automatically enjoy the facilities and services of both clubs. Based on the natural terrain where "mountains meet the sea," the entire resort has created an integrated vacation home on the coast of the thousand-island nation, allowing visitors to enjoy the tranquility of the mountains and the coastal scenery simultaneously.
