TIEZA Reinforces the Legacy of Club Intramuros Golf Course as a Premier Sports Tourism and Heritage Landmark
The Tourism Infrastructure and Enterprise Zone Authority (TIEZA) proudly underscores its commitment to cultural preservation, sports tourism, and sustainable tourism development through its continued stewardship of the Club Intramuros Golf Course (CIGC)—one of the Philippines’ most historically significant recreational sites and a distinctive gem in the country’s golf tourism landscape.
Strategically located within the storied walls of Intramuros, the Club Intramuros Golf Course offers a rare combination of athletic pursuit and heritage immersion. Established in 1906 during the early American colonial period, the course is not simply a leisure amenity but a living mark of Manila’s layered history.
Its manicured greens and fairways sit against the backdrop of Spanish-era fortifications, old watchtowers, and historic artillery—making it one of the few golf courses in the world built entirely within a preserved heritage district.
More than a destination for golf enthusiasts, the Club Intramuros Golf Course plays a vital role in sustaining cultural identity and community vibrance.
It serves as a green lung within the capital’s historic center, a venue for sports tourism activities, and an iconic tourist spot that connects modern recreation with the Philippines’ colonial heritage.
A testament to TIEZA’s mandate to protect, preserve, and promote tourism assets
As one of TIEZA’s managed properties, the Club Intramuros Golf Course exemplifies two of the agency’s four core mandates: (1) to develop and maintain quality tourism infrastructure, and (2) to preserve cultural and historical assets for future generations.
TIEZA’s dedication to the preservation of CIGC ensures that its historic significance is honored while continuing to meet standards for sports tourism facilities.
Current efforts include heritage-sensitive landscaping, structural conservation, facility upgrades, drainage and irrigation improvements, and sustainability-focused maintenance work—each guided by the agency’s responsibility to balance preservation with modern tourism needs.
“TIEZA is committed to protecting tourism assets that reflect our cultural roots and elevate the Philippines as a global destination,” said TIEZA COO Mark T. Lapid.
“The Club Intramuros Golf Course is a symbolic reminder of our past and a vibrant platform for sports tourism. Its continued preservation is made possible through the support of every Filipino traveler.”
Building tourism together: how travel tax contributions sustain CIGC
TIEZA emphasizes the collective power of Filipino travelers in shaping the country’s tourism landscape. A portion of travel tax collections directly supports the operations, upkeep, and preservation of tourism assets under TIEZA’s portfolio—including the Club Intramuros Golf Course—ensuring the continued protection of its historical structures and the improvement of its tourism facilities.
This includes maintenance of the course’s fairways, greens, and heritage-sensitive landscaping, and upgrading of facilities such as lighting, safety features, and visitor amenities for year-round playability.
Every contribution made by travelers helps TIEZA sustain the CIGC as a safe, enjoyable, and historically significant site—allowing both local and foreign visitors to appreciate the unique experience of golfing within the centuries-old Walled City.
Strengthening golf tourism in the Philippines
As golf tourism continues to grow globally, the Club Intramuros Golf Course stands as one of the Philippines’ most strategic assets. Its central location, night golf offerings, rich heritage value, and picturesque setting make it a key attraction for international golfers and tour operators seeking distinctive, memorable experiences.
CIGC complements the country’s broader network of world-class golf courses, further positioning the Philippines as an emerging golf tourism hub in Asia.
As part of TIEZA’s long-term tourism development roadmap, enhancements to the course are expected to support increased visitor arrivals, economic activity for Intramuros and nearby communities, and wider recognition of Manila as a historic yet dynamic destination.
A living heritage, sustained by collective support
With its blend of history, heritage, and sport, the Club Intramuros Golf Course represents a triumph of cultural preservation and tourism development. Its continued protection is a shared responsibility—made possible through TIEZA’s stewardship, the support of the Department of Tourism, the involvement of the Intramuros Administration, and the contributions of Filipino travelers through the travel tax.
Recently, President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. emphasized his vision for the revitalization and sustainability of Manila City landmarks and centers. TIEZA supports this direction and recently launched the “Sundays at Club Intramuros” initiative to give the community an opportunity to enjoy non-golf activities such as walking, jogging, light exercises, and small group picnics within the historic Intramuros walls.
As TIEZA advances its mission of Building Tourism Together, CIGC remains a powerful reminder that preserving the country’s past plays an essential role in shaping a stronger, more vibrant tourism future.

127 years ago today, #Freemason #Filipino-Chinese Dr. José Protasio Rizal Mercado y Alonso Realonda, was executed by #Spain's #Spanish overlords, and Roman #Catholic Church priests, in the #Philippines.
On December 30, 1896, he was walked from his prison in #Intramuros to Bagumbayan (later called: #Luneta and then #RizalPark) in #Manila. It's more or less 2 km by [modern] road.
The main/primary monument for Rizal is located 100m SSE of where he was shot by the #Spaniards.

A Spanish detachment & a priest accompanied him, as garrisons were stationed in #Intramuros & #Luneta bec of fear of uprising. A bugler & a drummer led the way. As Rizal neared the execution site, he exclaimed "Oh Father how terrible it is to die... how one suffers. I forgive them from the bottom of my heart." He saw his executioners—70th Regiment composed of 8 Filipinos, & behind them Spanish shooters in case they hesitate.

The voluntary disarmament of the city was not acknowledged by the Japanese. The burning of Sto. Domingo Church in #Intramuros on 27 Dec 1941, immortalized by Fernando Amorsolo's painting, was one of the casualties wrought on the city after the Open City declaration. The defense of Bataan & Corregidor, even when ending in defeat due to the reinforcements that would never come, successfully prevented the Japanese from using Manila Bay as harbor for their ships. It delayed the invasion by 4 mos.

In May 1898, the U.S. through Adm. George Dewey, assisted the return of the exiled Emilio Aguinaldo to #PH, to resume the PH Revolution vs. Spain. Dewey verbally promised Aguinaldo that the U.S. had no imperial aspirations on PH. Apolinario Mabini was among the 1st to express doubts on U.S. intentions on #PH. The suspicious actions of the U.S. in Aug 1898 on their possession of #Intramuros, forbidding Filipinos to enter the city heightened tensions bet. Filipino & U.S. troops.
