The historic East course of Wack Wack Golf and Country Club in Mandaluyong was selected as the Best Golf Course in the Philippines during the 2012 Asian Golf Monthly Awards in Brunei recently.
The par-72 course, traditional home of the Philippine Open, bested Sta. Elena in Laguna and the Palmer course of the Orchard in Cavite for the award during the gala dinner of the region’s top annual poll of golf courses in the Asia Pacific.
Mission Hills’ Blackstone course won the best championship course award.
Wack Wack vice president Butch Campos received the award on behalf of president Dr. Philip Ella Juico.
Among the attendees at the gathering at Empire Hotel & Country Club were top Indian golfer Jeev Milkha Singh, who received an Asia Pacific Lifetime Achievement Award, and Colin Montgomerie, who received a Lifetime Achievement Award.
