Practice your swing and learn how to golf with Dad

Welcome your dad to the official Pop's club at the golf course! The Club Intramuros Golf Course lies right in the heart of Manila—with a stunning view of the city hall and the National Museum of Fine Arts. If your dad is just starting to get his swing in check or is just down to casually try golfing, a bucket of 80 balls will only cost you P100 at this driving range. Depending on how fast you and your dad swing, that bucket can last you anywhere from 30 minutes to over an hour. As most casual players might not have their own golf clubs to use, the range also offers equipment rentals with rates starting at P200 per club or P1,200 for an entire set. That's just about P300 to get started. Should your dad really get into golfing, you can hire an instructor or coach for one-on-one practice sessions at P1,000 per hour.

Club Intramuros Golf Course is at Bonifacio Drive, corner Aduana Street, Port Area Intramuros, Manila. It is open from 5 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. on Tuesdays to Sundays. For more information, visit Club Intramuros Golf Course's Facebook page.
