MANILA, Philippines - For a leisure sport like golf, aside from a well-designed course, a relaxing atmosphere surrounded by great views of nature while being close to family-friendly amenities changes the nature of the game.
This is exactly how Clark SunValley Golf & Resorts differs from other golf courses in the Philippines. A $400-million project of Donggwang Clark Corp. (DCC), the Philippine subsidiary of the SunValley Group of South Korea, this world-class tourism estate in Clark, Pampanga is set to change the Philippine tourism horizon and redefine the country’s leisure business.
Nestled atop rolling mountains right beside the historic Sacobia River with a majestic view of Mt. Pinatubo, Clark SunValley Golf & Resorts is within a vast 304-hectare mountaintop property with two challenging courses (the 18-hole Sun and Valley Course and the 18-hole Clark Course for members only) and a clubhouse, now both fully operational.
Clark SunValley Golf & Resorts’ golf courses are very well-maintained, with the right amount of hazards and a fair share of windy conditions making each hole appropriately challenging yet fun and playable. While the courses are naturally surrounded by woods, DCC continues to plant trees to further enhance its beauty, isolating the holes from each other through an attractive and tranquil environment.
DCC has recently started to sell memberships to golf enthusiasts in the country. “We offer a one-time membership fee good for two persons, with no green fees, monthly and annual fees. Just sign up and enjoy our two challenging courses while enjoying a perfectly relaxing view of nature,” said managing director Tug ho Rhewy of SunValley Group of South Korea.
The Clark SunValley Golf & Resorts is one of the biggest multi-resorts under development in Southeast Asia, extending DCC’s expertise of bringing luxurious living close to nature. Aside from the golf courses and clubhouse, nearing completion very soon are the residential villas and commercial mall, international school, waterpark, casino and a luxury five-star international hotel, making the Clark SunValley Golf & Resorts a world-class recreational village.
“We want to introduce a ‘unique lifestyle’ in an integrated tourism resort estate such as the Clark SunValley Golf & Resorts, providing Filipinos and foreigners alike a ‘unique leisure experience’ in the beautiful country of Philippines,” said Rhewy.
The SunValley Group of South Korea is known for its state-of-the-art golf courses, hotels, water theme parks, housing and other property development-related projects. Currently, it operates Sorak SunValley, Dongwon SunValley, Iljuk SunValley and Yeoju SunValley Country Club in Korea, as well as Yabe SunValley and Higo SunValley in Japan, and has completed more than 10 residential megaprojects.
