Morong, Bataan — Anvaya Cove Golf & Sports Club has officially been recognized as the top golf course in Southeast Asia, earning the highest regional ranking in the prestigious Top 100 Golf Courses Asia list. The announcement marks a milestone for Philippine golf, with Anvaya Cove securing the 15th spot in Asia —surpassing renowned regional contenders such as Vietnam’s Hoiana Shores Club (16th) and
Singapore’s Sentosa Golf Club Serapong Course (17th).

The award was formally presented by Jung-Tae Kim, chairman of the Top 100 Golf Courses Asia Panel of Raters, who flew in to personally hand over the honor to key representatives of Ayala Land Premier (ALP) and Anvaya Cove. Among those present were Joe Dagdagan, general manager of ALP Clubs Raymond Bunquin, general manager of Anvaya Cove Golf & Sports Club; Kristine Grace Apale-Zaide, Senior Project Development Division Manager for Premium Land & Houses of Ayala Land Inc; and Joshua Zacarias de Jesus, Project Development Division Manager for Premium Land & Houses of Ayala Land Inc.

Anvaya Cove, a residential development of ALP—the luxury residential brand of Ayala Land, Inc.—has emerged as a benchmark for excellence in golf course design, sustainability, and guest experience.

According to Dagdagan, out of nearly 7,000 golf courses across Asia, only three from the Philippines earned a spot in the prestigious Top 100 list. Anvaya Cove’s standout ranking at number 15 places it significantly ahead of the other two Philippine entries, which ranked 87th and 94th respectively underscoring its position as the country’s leading golf destination and the top-ranked course in Southeast Asia.
