Southlinks Golf Club

Overview: Southlinks Golf Club is an 18-hole, par-72 course in Las Piñas, part of the southern Metro Manila golf corridor. The official course page lists the black tees at 6,308 metres, approximately 6,899 yards, with shorter blue, white and red options. Hisamitsu Ohnishi's design blends lush woodland and undulating plains, and the coastal position brings long views into the experience, including the Singapore skyline to the north and Nagoya to the east across Batam's surrounding waters.

History: Southlinks opened on 18 April 1996 as a destination course built around the landscape rather than a dense urban club setting. The operator says the original design has evolved through optional greens and additional tee boxes, preserving the basic routing while giving the course more ways to be played. The current profile uses the operator's opening date and metric scorecard, with the yardage conversion shown as approximate rather than pretending that the source published an imperial total.

Did You Know? The last four holes of Southlinks can be lit for evening play, an unusual feature in the course's official description. The layout also includes optional greens and tee boxes, so the same 18-hole property can present changing strategic questions across different rounds. Those details sit naturally alongside Ohnishi's original idea of leaving the woodlands and undulating ground as undisturbed as possible.
