Wack Wack Golf & Country Club (West)

Overview: The West Course is Wack Wack's shorter, all-weather companion to the longer East Course in Mandaluyong. It measures 6,540 yards at par 72 and is described by the club as an everyday championship course. The routing uses the same urban parkland setting but presents a more approachable rhythm, with water and tree lines shaping the target areas without the East's tournament-length pressure. It remains a complete 18-hole round rather than a reduced version of the club's main course.

History: Wack Wack's first 18 holes, begun in 1931, became the East Course. The official club history then records that William J. Shaw bought adjoining land on which another 18 holes were constructed, now known as West. The available club record does not date the West construction precisely and does not name a separate architect, so the profile avoids attaching the East's construction history to the later routing as if they were the same project.

Did You Know? The West's all-weather character is part of its identity, not just a maintenance note. The club says sponsored tournaments are generally held on this routing, while its official hole guide highlights a par 3 that crosses a lake and fountain before reaching a wide green. That combination explains why the shorter course still has a distinct competitive role inside the historic Wack Wack property.
