The natural layout of hilly and rolling terrain interspersed with mature trees and natural obstacles attracted the Scottish railway engineers to build the country’s first golf course in Barangay San Sebastian, Sta. Barbara, Iloilo.
Established in 1907, the Iloilo Golf and Country Club golf course started with only 9 holes. Today, it has become a challenging 18-hole course (6,056 yardage) and plays to a par 70. No two holes are ever similar, as it was designed on its natural state.
Barangay San Sebastian is just some distance from the new Iloilo Airport. Certainly the sight of the greens and fairways is something to behold from up in the air before the plane touches down or when it lifts up way above the town.
