Valley Golf & Country Club (North)

Overview: The North Course at Valley Golf & Country Club offers 18 holes at par 72 in a parkland setting in Antipolo, in the hills east of Metro Manila. The club’s current scorecard lists 5,839 yards from the regular blue tees, with shorter senior and red options also shown. The course uses the rolling Valley property rather than a flat resort template, and its mix of elevated views, tree-lined corridors, hazards and changing lies places a premium on finding the right position. It is the more recent of Valley’s two named routings.

History: Valley Golf began as a club formed in 1958, with the original South Course opening in 1961. As play increased, the club acquired adjoining parcels and expanded a nine-hole all-weather layout into an 18-hole complex known as the North Course, formerly the Executive Course. The official corporate history dates that addition to 1989. It also specifically identifies the North as the course open to non-members and tourists, giving this private-club property a distinct visitor-facing role.

Did You Know? The North is not simply a second name for the older South routing. It grew out of a separate nine-hole expansion and became an 18-hole course with its own identity. The club’s scorecard shows a par-72 arrangement and an island green on the sixth hole, while the fifteenth tee is noted for its view across the complex. Those details explain why the North is often treated as a full championship-style round rather than an add-on nine.
