Destination imageryA flat Gary Player layout with water on almost every hole and an island green at the 15th.

Beverly Place anchors a Sta. Lucia Land housing estate in Mexico, the Pampanga town between Angeles and San Fernando. Gary Player designed it, and its 2009 opening makes it one of the younger layouts around Clark. The ground is flat, but water comes into play on almost every hole, and the club has pool, tennis and a driving range beside the clubhouse. The developer says it is open to the public every day, and it is an easy add-on to a Clark-based week.
A 2017 Sta. Lucia Land article lists the club as open to the public daily from 05:30 to 19:00, with Monday set aside as maintenance day, so check for restrictions before booking a Monday round. Some directories describe Beverly Place as members and guests only, which conflicts with the developer’s statement, so it is safest to book through an agent who confirms the tee time with the club. Golfasian, which describes Beverly Place as a public course, does this for groups of up to four. No green fee is published online. In a 2023 feature Sta. Lucia Land said the club was the first to run a Women’s Golf Day, with a complimentary green fee for women every Friday; ask whether it still runs before you plan around it.
The par-71 course measures 6,307 yards from the regular tees and carries a slope of 128. Golfasian notes that the back nine was built first, with the front nine added later. Player kept the fairways generous, so the tee shot is the easier part of most holes; the work is in the approach, because many greens are raised and guarded by raised bunkers. Large lakes shape the 2nd and 8th, a hidden creek crosses the 1st, and the 15th green sits on an island. Sta. Lucia Land describes primary and secondary cuts of rough beside the fairways. Golfasian’s description rates the back-nine greens as good and the front-nine greens a little slower, which is worth knowing before you judge your putting on the first few holes. Mounding, gardens and flowering plants frame many holes.
Beverly Place works best as a half-day round from a Clark or Angeles hotel, with lunch in the clubhouse dining room or on its veranda. Women travelling in a group may want a Friday round if the free green fee is still offered. Bring more balls than usual; with water on nearly every hole, a wayward approach is rarely recoverable. The club has tee houses on the course for drinks between holes.
Mexico lies south-east of Angeles, and Golfasian puts the course about 25 km or 41 minutes by car from Angeles City. Clark International Airport (CRK) is the nearest airport. From Manila, take the North Luzon Expressway north towards San Fernando; allow at least 90 minutes from the city depending on traffic.
Nearby: 1. Mimosa Plus Golf Course (Clark Mimosa Golf & Country Club) (18 km) · 2. FA Korea Country Club (Fontana & Apollon) (23 km) · 3. Luisita Golf and Country Club (39 km) · 4. Hallow Ridge Filipinas Golf (Hollow Ridge Pilipinas Golf) (89 km)
There is no hotel on the estate, so most visitors stay in Clark or Angeles. The Quest Plus hotel at Mimosa Plus and the larger freeport hotels put you about 40 minutes away. San Fernando, the provincial capital, is closer and has business hotels and malls, which suits golfers who want to be near the expressway.
Combine Beverly Place with Mimosa Plus and FA Korea in Clark for three different styles: an old air-base parkland, a Korean-run club and Player’s water course. Luisita in Tarlac is about an hour north. In December, San Fernando hosts its Giant Lantern Festival, when huge illuminated lanterns are paraded and judged, and the town is known for lantern workshops all year.
Plan for November to April, when Central Luzon is dry. Mornings from December to February are the most pleasant. Heat builds through March to May, and the monsoon rains from June to October can flood low courses, so with this many lakes, expect slower conditions after storms.
Explore golf by monthThe developer, Sta. Lucia Land, says the course is open to the public daily. Some listings still describe it as members and guests only, so book through Golfasian or call the club to confirm a tee time before you drive out.
Gary Player. The par-71 course opened in 2009, with the back nine built before the front. It measures 6,307 yards from the regular tees with a slope of 128.
Monday is the club’s maintenance day. The course is otherwise open from 05:30 to 19:00, so plan Monday golf at another Clark course unless the club confirms a tee time.
