The Orchard Golf & Country Club, Cavite
The Orchard Golf & Country Club is one of the premier golfing destinations in the Philippines, offering 36 holes of championship golf designed by two of the sport’s greatest legends—Arnold Palmer and Gary Player. Located in Dasmariñas, Cavite, just an hour from Manila, The Orchard is set amidst rolling hills and fruit-bearing trees, reflecting its name and heritage as part of a sprawling hacienda estate.
Known for its world-class facilities, diverse course layouts, and lush surroundings, The Orchard has played host to the Philippine Open, international invitationals, and national amateur championships. Whether you’re a seasoned player or a corporate guest, The Orchard offers a memorable golfing experience anchored in excellence and prestige.
Course Layout & Design
The club features two distinct 18-hole courses:
- Arnold Palmer Course – A bold design with wide fairways, strategic water hazards, and elevated greens. It encourages aggressive play but penalizes wayward shots with well-placed bunkers and natural outcroppings.
- Gary Player Course – A more technical layout requiring accuracy and finesse, with tighter corridors, undulating terrain, and a greater emphasis on short game precision.
Both courses play to par 72 and are maintained in pristine condition year-round. Combined, they span over 13,800 meters (15,100 yards), offering variety and challenge for players of all skill levels.
Signature Holes
- Palmer Hole 9 – A picturesque par-4 with a water-protected green and a split fairway, ideal for risk-reward shot-making.
- Player Hole 17 – A challenging par-3 over a ravine with a multi-tiered green—accuracy is essential.
