Club Filipino De Cebu

Overview: Club Filipino De Cebu is an 18-hole course in the Pulangyuta valley of Danao City, north of Cebu. The blue tees are listed at 6,128 yards and the routing plays to par 71, with Gary Player Design credited for the course. Valley contours give the layout a naturally shaped feel, while the fairways and changes in elevation create a round that asks for placement rather than constant power. Its location also makes it a practical golf stop for visitors building a Cebu itinerary around the airport and the island’s other courses.

History: The Club Filipino organisation dates to 1935, when President Manuel L. Quezon encouraged the formation of a club for the Filipino community in Cebu. The Danao course is a later chapter in that story, and available tournament records show the venue repeatedly involved in the PAL Interclub tradition. Those records establish a long competitive connection, but they do not provide a dependable opening date for the present 18-hole routing, so the profile keeps that field unset.

Did You Know? Club Filipino appears repeatedly in the PAL Interclub archive, including championship results from the middle decades of Philippine golf. A 2005 tournament at the course was staged as a 36-hole event celebrating the club’s 70th anniversary. That combination of an old Cebu institution and a separate Danao valley setting is what gives the course its distinctive place in the country’s golfing history.
