The Philippines’ Hann group of companies has announced the second of three world-class golf courses that will form part of a master-planned 450-hectare luxury integrated resort development in New Clark City called Hann Reserve.
The 18-hole “valley course”, scheduled to open in 2027, has been designed by South Korean professional golfer KJ Choi and follows the recent ground-breaking ceremony for a “river course” designed by Nick Faldo and due for completion in 2028. The other course will be a “mountain course” – designed by Nicklaus Design and targeted for a 2026 opening as part of the first phase of Hann Reserve.
Choi attended a ceremony in Clark over the weekend at which he said, “It is my utmost pleasure to be a part of this landmark integrated resort development in the Philippines and to offer a memorable golfing experience for Filipino golf enthusiasts and visiting players alike.”
Hann Chairman and CEO, Daesik Han, added, “We are excited and proud to create a truly world-class golfing experience befitting Clark as an equally world-class leisure and entertainment destination.”
When complete, the US$3 billion Hann Reserve will become a unique integrated leisure and lifestyle development, designed to be the most luxurious in the region and complemented by international luxury hotel brands Banyan Tree and Angsana Resort, Sofitel and Emblems by Accor, and The Luxury Collection and Westin by Marriott International. It will also boast a mixed-use commercial center and casino, along with exclusive residences supported by establishments such as an international school and a public park.
Aside from its three designer golf courses, the master plan also includes the first Professional Golfers’ Association of America (PGA)-affiliated player development facilities in the Philippines.
“Hann Reserve is truly envisioned as being one of a kind and a model for sustainability and eco-tourism that celebrates the local environment, culture, heritage and community,” said Hann Philippines Inc’s Vice President for Corporate Planning, Development and Compliance Neki Liwanag.
Phase 1 of Hann Reserve, to be completed by 2026, is slated to cost Php9 billion (US$162 million).
