Dakak Golf · Dapitan, Philippines

Beachside championship golf in the Philippines

Rediscover Dakak · A coastal classic, renewed

Tucked into the northwest coast of Mindanao, Dakak has long been one of the Philippines' best-kept golfing secrets: an 18-hole championship course where the fairways run between tropical forest and the sea.

This year the course has been brought back to life. Fresh work across the layout returns Dakak to the condition its setting deserves, and the resort is welcoming golfers back to play it.

Come for a round. Stay for the beach, the sunsets over the Sulu Sea and a course that plays tougher than its yardage suggests.

The course

An 18-hole championship course with coastal character

Just over 6,000 yards, par 71 and deceptively demanding. Elevation changes, sea breezes and tight landing areas make every club choice count, from the first tee to the final green.

Strategy and placement. Narrower lines through the trees reward the golfer who thinks before reaching for the driver.
