Destination imageryA public Seiichi Inoue course 15 minutes from Alabang, with old trees and raised greens.

Hallow Ridge Filipinas Golf, spelled Hollow Ridge Pilipinas Golf on some booking sites, is one of the easiest courses for a visitor to reach and book from Manila. It is a public course in San Pedro, Laguna, about 15 minutes from Alabang and 35 to 40 minutes from Makati, and it takes reservations by email and phone. Japanese architect Seiichi Inoue designed it in the late 1960s, according to Golfasian, and mature trees, raised greens and water make it more testing than its location suggests.
Book directly by emailing reservations@hallowridgegolf.com or calling 0969 202 8333, according to Primer. Golfasian also confirms tee times for groups of up to four, and a KKday voucher covers the green fee if you prefer to prepay. Foreign visitors pay a higher rate than local players, and weekends and holidays cost more than weekdays. Primer lists the course as open from 05:00 to 20:00, and Pelago and KKday also sell Hollow Ridge tee times.
Weekday green fee for foreign visitors, as listed by Primer in July 2025; caddie (from ₱600) and cart (₱1,000) are extra.

The course is a par 72, listed by Golfasian at a little over 7,100 yards (its page gives both 7,121 and 7,163). Inoue placed many greens above the fairway, so approach shots need to carry to the putting surface rather than run on. Water and old trees frame most holes, and accuracy from the tee counts more than length. Primer calls the par-five 6th the signature: the tee shot, second and approach all carry water. The par-four 4th has out of bounds on the left and forest on the right of a narrow fairway. Bunker sand is firm and compacted, so open-faced splash shots tend to skid. Golfasian reports that the lockers, showers, range, coffee shop and function rooms have been renovated.
Budget roughly ₱4,600 to ₱5,100 per foreign player for a weekday round with a caddie and a cart, depending on whether you share it, before the tip. The long opening hours make a late-afternoon round possible after a morning in the city. The range costs ₱300 an hour on weekdays and ₱400 at weekends, with a tee girl for ₱100. Caba Garden Cafe in the clubhouse is known for binagoongang bagnet, crispy pork with shrimp paste.
The course is on Magsaysay Road, San Antonio, San Pedro, just south of the Metro Manila boundary. Golfasian puts it about 40 minutes from Manila’s Ninoy Aquino International Airport (MNL) and 35 minutes from Makati; Primer says 15 minutes from Alabang. A Grab car or hotel transfer is simplest.

Alabang and Filinvest City, 15 minutes north, have the nearest international hotels, malls and restaurants, and are a good base for southern Manila golf. Makati and Bonifacio Global City are close enough for a day trip if you prefer to stay in the city centre. Nuvali in Santa Rosa, further south along the expressway, has newer hotels if you would rather stay out of the city altogether.
Several southern courses are within 45 minutes: Manila Southwoods in Carmona, Eagle Ridge in General Trias, and the Tagaytay Highlands and Midlands courses up on the Taal ridge. In San Pedro itself, the San Pedro Apostol Parish Church is the town’s old centre, and Tagaytay’s views over Taal Lake make an easy half-day trip.
The dry season from November to April is best. Low-lying Laguna gets very hot and humid from March to May, so the first tee times of the day are the ones to ask for. The monsoon from about June to October brings heavy rain, and the many water hazards can spill onto low holes after a storm.
