Alta Vista Golf and Country Club was built in 1994 in the city of Cebu, but it was not officially operational until 1997. This makes the course a considerably young course in comparison to many others in the Philippines. It was build by the Santa Lucia Realty and Development Inc Group and Aznar family, but all 18 holes of the the club were designed by legendary pro golfer, Gary Player.
Due to the fact that this course is located within Cebu City, you will find narrow fairways and small greens, but all are very well-maintained. Current reviews of the course have also shared that you will find the caddies to be quite knowledgeable about the course and the game, which is a unique feature that you may not always find here at other courses in the Philippines. It is not a known to be a flat course and please do expect to see a lot of water hazards along with an amazing view of the bay.
Alta Vista Golf and Country Club also has a driving range, practice facilities, a pro shop, golfer lounge, bar, and restaurant. gives various services to players. The original vision of the course was to be a private, members-only course, but as of recently, they have opened the golf course up to the public. It is not categorized as a semi-private course and for all non members, they operate on a first come first serve basis. The club facilities (except the restaurant and locker room) may still be restricted for the use of members only.
