Anvaya Cove in Bataan Named Southeast Asia’s Best Golf Course

If you are dreaming of playing golf by the sea, with mountain views and lush greenery all around, here is some exciting news. Anvaya Cove Golf and Sports Club in Bataan has just been named the top golf course in Southeast Asia. Even better, it is the highest ranked golf course in the Philippines ever.

In the 2025 edition of the Top 100 Golf Courses Asia, Anvaya Cove earned the number one spot in Southeast Asia and ranked 15th overall in all of Asia. That is out of almost 7,000 golf courses across the continent.

Beating the best across Asia

Anvaya Cove came ahead of big names in the region, including Hoiana Shores in Vietnam and Sentosa Serapong in Singapore. Only three golf courses in the Philippines made it into the list, and Anvaya Cove led them all. The other two courses from the Philippines placed 87th and 94th.

This achievement proves that golf in the Philippines is now gaining serious international attention. It is a proud moment not only for the club but also for Filipino tourism and sport.

A moment of recognition

This honour is not just a win for the club. It helps raise the profile of Philippine golf and shows that local destinations can meet international standards.

This is not Anvaya’s first time to be recognised. The club has received multiple awards over the years for excellence and sustainability. These include:

• Ranked 19th in Asia in 2024

• Best Golf Club in the Philippines by Golf Digest in 2022
