Edwin Andrews Air Base, Sta. Maria, Zamboanga City +6362-993-4067 +6362-991-1070
Golfers who play in the 18-hole, Par 72 golf course with a 5,667 yardage will also enjoy a magnificent view of the mountains. Seasonal winds will provide the challenge on the short but narrow front nine which also has smaller greens. The longer back nine has wider fairways. The course also has water hazards and sandtraps on a relatively flat terrain. Well-maintained greens are covered with Korean Carpet Grass. Carabao and creeping grass cover the fairways for low maintenance reasons.
