Sta. Lucia Land delivers world-class fairways

It has been known to many primarily as a gentleman’s game. But the last three years have offered a whole new perspective on golf.Today, golf has also become a fun family activity amid a newfound appreciation for the game as a way to spend quality time with loved ones. As it was the first sport to be allowed to resume during the pandemic, many have taken a sudden interest, eager to practice their swings and take a stab at achieving the perfect drive.“As the first sport allowed during the pandemic, golf has emerged as a favored form of recreation for many over the past three years. While golf has long been known as an avenue for one to destress, or at times, close business deals, the pandemic has given it a new meaning as it has also become a family bonding activity,” said Sta. Lucia Land Inc. president Exequiel Robles.“Today, you would see more parents bringing their children to driving ranges and well-manicured fairways for a round of golf. Even in our own projects, we have also seen a different kind of enthusiasm from our members. Now you would see them regularly play with their kids and other family members,” Mr. Robles added.Sta. Lucia Land is one of the country’s pioneering and leading developers of world-class golf courses, which have since served as a venue for prestigious international tournaments. Its impressively built fairways, designed by globally renowned golf experts, have long served as an extension of many boardrooms where businesses are discussed and deals are closed.“The game has somewhat changed as golf enthusiasts now come from various age groups. You now see kids developing a love for the sport as well as retirees eagerly engaging in the game as a form of exercise and recreation. More are now coming in with their whole family in tow to play a round of golf,” added Sta. Lucia Land chairman Vicente Santos.

So if you’re looking to try your hand in golf, here are some exceptionally masterplanned Sta. Lucia communities that also come with well-designed, world-class courses, out to challenge your newfound skills.
