Exclusive Country Clubs in Forbes Park
It’s no mystery that Forbes Park upholds its exclusivity. The gated community, established back in the 1940s, is home to some of the country’s wealthiest families and foreign diplomats. The privacy and serenity that it promises its residences are the primary reasons why many aspire to live in this neighborhood with its rich history. Aside from the lush trees and greenery, elegant churches, and majestic homes that fill the streets of the neighborhood, there are two private clubs that aim to provide entertainment and leisure for its residents.
Manila Golf Club
Tracing back to 1901, the outstanding greens and superior facilities of Manila Golf Club is the reason why it is one of the most prestigious golf clubs in the country. It is a regular venue for golf tournaments; the present course measures 6,325 yards from the championship tees with a par of 71. Members of the prestigious club receive exclusive access to the driving range and practice range and are entitled to hold tournaments. They also have unlimited access to the clubhouse amenities, in-house restaurant and bar, and function rooms.
Manila Polo Club
In 1909 the Manila Polo Club was founded by William Cameron Forbes on his passion for the polo. The Manila Polo Club is 25 hectares wide, and the exclusive club isn’t just limited to being a place for members to play polo; lifestyle facilities were created to accommodate the families that reside in Forbes Park. Aside from the two polo fields, there are tennis courts, badminton courts, a soccer field, swimming pools, a bowling alley, and a gym. There’s something for everyone to do inside the vast club, and the promised privacy allows for unadulterated enjoyment and relaxation. It also has dining outlets such as Italian restaurant The Last Chukker; Nanten, which offers authentic Japanese fare; and several coffee shops for others to hangout.
Whether it be the Manila Golf Club or the Manila Polo Club, residents of Forbes can take comfort in having go-to hangouts within the village, ones that feel just like an extension of their home.
