Pradera Verde Golf & Country Club (Arayat)

Overview: The Arayat Course at Pradera Verde plays 18 holes to par 72 in a parkland setting in Lubao, Pampanga. The mapped black-tee card lists 6,596 yards. The course is part of a larger golf destination positioned between Clark, Angeles, San Fernando, Subic and Manila, and its relatively flat setting gives the round a different feel from the hilly courses around Tagaytay. Tournament coverage describes the layout as a serious test in changing wind and weather, with the score depending on disciplined positioning and consistent approach play.

History: Pradera Verde was developed as a golf and wider open-space project in Pampanga, with the masterplan completed in 2018. The Arayat routing is now used for Philippine Golf Tour and Ladies Philippine Golf Tour events, including the 2026 ICTSI Pradera Verde Championship. Those tournaments establish the course’s current competitive role, but the reviewed sources do not provide a reliable architect or a separate opening date for the Arayat course, so those fields remain unset rather than being inferred from unrelated course listings.

Did You Know? The course takes its name from Mount Arayat, the prominent volcanic landmark that rises east of Pampanga. Pradera Verde’s location also places it within reach of Clark’s golf-travel market while retaining a countryside setting. That combination explains the course’s growing role in tournament golf: it can serve a major event but remains part of a destination designed around open space and multiple nearby golf hubs.
