One of the most visually stunning golf courses in the Philippines, Alta Vista Golf and Country Club sits 500 feet above Cebu City on Pardo Hill with breathtaking panoramic views of the city, Cebu Strait and surrounding islands from virtually every hole. Designed by Gary Player’s Black Knight Design Group of South Africa, the 6,237-yard par 72 championship course opened in 1997 and is built on a mountain ridge with barely a flat lie on the entire layout. The narrow fairways and dramatic elevation changes — with tee boxes perched above deep valleys — make for one of the most unique golfing experiences in the Visayas. The Spanish Colonial-inspired clubhouse is a landmark on Pardo Hill. Alta Vista has hosted numerous tournament championships and remains one of the most coveted rounds in Cebu. Open to the public with booking via GolfPH or walk-in.
