One of the oldest golf courses in the Philippines, built in 1904. Even non-golfers might enjoy walking around the beautifully maintained grounds and spotting the old American-era structures
Historical Trail and Cemetery
A quiet walk through remnants of the original military camp, including an old American cemetery that gives you a sense of the area's unique colonial history
