Vince Siy

I am a golf enthusiast who resides in the Philippines. I have also played extensively in Canada, especially British Columbia. I carry a mid single digit handicap and have been a junior golfer. I love golf course architecture and all its variety. My dream is to play Augusta, but would settle for Masters tickets.

Anvaya Cove 28/01/2017

3^rd 62^nd

Anvaya is hands down the most beautiful and scenic course in the Philippines. A massive statement to make, but you'll understand once you're there. I would go as far as s...

Country Club - Philippines 25/01/2017

1^st 46^th

The second iteration of the ultra-exclusive Country Club has officially made it the longest course in the country. Playing 7,650 yards from the champion tees, this beast...

Carnoustie (Championship) 09/07/2016

1^st 5^th 10^th 28^th

If there is one word to describe Carnoustie is that it's fair. The course is laid out for you and there are barely any blind shots, which is a bit different from most cou...

St Andrews (Old) 08/07/2016

1^st 2^nd 3^rd 9^th

It's like playing in the middle of town. The walk paths are filled with locals, tourists, and the occasional vehicle. If it's your first time, you will definitely need a...

St Andrews (Castle) 08/07/2016

4^th 27^th 87^th

Yes, some of the greens are a bit extreme, but I wouldn't call them unplayable. These enormous, undulating, multi-tiered complexes will definitely wreck your day though i...

Orchard (Palmer) 24/04/2016

6^th

A typical Arnold Palmer designed course, there is plenty of risk-reward here. You will be tempted to reach for your driver on the short par 4s but be careful as many a ro...

Canlubang (North) 24/04/2016

17^th

The North Course is in my opinion the more difficult of the Canlubang tracks. Although it is not monstrously long, sound strategy and shot-making skills are needed to sco...

Mount Malarayat (Mt. Makulot & Mt. Lobo) 24/04/2016

10^th

This is one of the quirkiest courses in the country. It has strangely shaped multi-tiered greens, double fairways, and uncommon flora. Very scenic and tranquil, and consi...

Tagaytay Highlands 24/04/2016

27^th

Very scenic mountain course with extreme(!!!!) elevation changes and a lot of blind shots. The terrain is so extreme that a golf cart is mandatory to make your way around...

Wack Wack (East) 24/04/2016

7^th

I have played the East Course more times than I can remember. It is a very challenging track, tree-lined with several long par 4s and only two par 5s. At over 7200 yards...

Manila 24/04/2016

18^th

Manila Golf is the most prestigious club in the Philippines. It is situated in one of the nicest residential areas in Manila, and is only a few minutes to the heart of th...

Sherwood Hills 24/04/2016

5^th 94^th

Sherwood is a semi-private club a couple of hours away from Manila. The layout is typical Nicklaus sprinkled with a few risk reward holes and very good bunkering. Pace ca...

Big Sky 22/04/2016

9^th 50^th

The best thing Big Sky has going for it is the view. Enjoyable track, but won't really push your game IMO. Layout is a bit flat with easy to hit resort sized greens. Not...

Shaughnessy 22/04/2016

3^rd 23^rd

The Augusta National of Vancouver. You need to be accompanied by a member. Played from both the regular and back tees a few times and always found the track to be tough,...

Northview (Ridge) 19/04/2016

31^st

The Ridge course in my opinion is the better of the 2 Northview courses. It is a typical Arnold Palmer design with a lot of fun risk-reward type holes. The scenery is fan...

Sta. Elena (Makiling & Banahaw) 19/04/2016

2^nd 54^th

This is a private club so you will have to be accompanied by a member. One of the best courses in the country. A definite must play if you can. Conditions are second to n...

Riviera (Langer) 19/04/2016

9^th

One of the most challenging courses in the Philippines. Definitely not for beginners. This course is long especially from the tips and have hazards abound. Greens are tri...

Manila Southwoods (Legends) 19/04/2016

8^th

It is the easier and shorter course in Southwoods. It has wider fairways and better scenery than the Masters course. Greens are tricky and fast, but will still hold good...
