Mayon Golf Course ☆ Follow

Mayon Golf Course is a 72-par, 18-hole championship layout located in Brgy. Padang, Legazpi City, Albay, Philippines. The course is situated at the base of Mayon Volcano, a landmark noted for its symmetrical cone, and winds through the Bicolano landscape. The design incorporates the natural terrain, with fairways and greens positioned to offer views of the volcano from nearly every angle. The total yardage varies by tee, ranging from 4,929 yards from the red tees to 6,379 yards from the gold tees, providing a challenge for players of varying skill levels. The course features a mix of strategic challenges, including doglegs, elevated greens, and water hazards. Hole 2 is a short par 3 played over a ravine, while Hole 7 presents a par 3 with a pond guarding the front of the green. The back nine introduces significant elevation changes and wind exposure, particularly on the long par 3 11th hole. The finishing holes provide dramatic finishes: Hole 17 is a narrow par 4 with a sloping fairway, and the 18th is a 465-yard par 5 that requires a carry over water to an elevated green overlooking the clubhouse. Key characteristics of the layout include out-of-bounds areas on the 4th hole and a blind approach on the 9th hole. The 15th hole is a long par 5 that features a risk-reward carry over a ravine on the second shot. The course is supported by a driving range with covered bays and target greens, as well as caddie services and club rentals. The terrain is described as lush, with fairways nourished by volcanic soil, and the mountain air is noted to influence club selection on several holes.
