Golf Course
The Golf course is one of the oldest in the Philippines. It was established in 1911 by Gen. John Pershing and is the only 18 - hole golf course, among the four major golf courses in Mindanao. The front nine is a flat terrain with trees along the side of the fairways. The back nine is a rolling terrain with a majestic view of Basilan Straight. It is a challenging course with winding fairways and greens dotted with bunkers and sand-traps. It is a par 72 course with a total length of 6,404 yards, sitting on 64 hectares of land. It also has a 250 - yard long driving range that can accommodate 12 players, a Clubhouse and other 1st - class amenities.
Beach Park
A 1.2 kilometer stretch of cobble stone-lined beach that was used as the landing area of the American Liberation forces in 1941. It is also a former headquarters of the Japanese army, hence it got its moniker “Yellow Beach”. It is the most accessible beach in Zamboanga.
