Where to play: Army Golf Course in Fort Bonifacio

kagitingan-copy.jpgLocation:This course is inside Fort Bonifacio across the Driving range beside the parade grounds. There is easy access from C5 and the South Super HiWay.

Features:
It is a 9 hole course with different tee boxes for the second nine. It also has lights but they are not kept on every night. It’s a par 66 and the yardage is 4200 yards for the men and 3600 for ladies. The course is short and some par 4s are under 270 yards but the holes have big ponds and hazards forcing golfers to lay up. However, for a beginner, this is good because few beginners can hit drivers or three woods far enough to reach the green. However, because some of the par 3s have hard carries over water, then the beginner might even have to lay up on a par 3 unless you can afford to lose balls. Still, the course, overall is friendly and easy to walk and if the lights are on, you can play after work. There is not much traffic on the course so you will always see lots and lots of beginners practicing and hitting two or three balls on weekdays.

Amenities: There is, of course, a driving range and putting green but no real clubhouse, just a restaurant. The good thing is there are lots and lots of teaching pros around and the club is open to your having your teaching pro walk with you and teach you as you practice and play.

What You Need: Shots that can carry over hazards, ditches and bunkers. If you can’t make your ball fly and your shot just rolls along, then this “easyâ€
