Alabang Country Club (ACC), a premier destination for relaxation and recreation in the South of Metro Manila, has undergone a remarkable transformation. These extensive renovations are designed to elevate the club’s facilities, offering an enhanced experience for its members while maintaining its legacy of leisure and tradition.

The upgrades seamlessly blend modern amenities with the club’s storied history, reinforcing its commitment to providing a world-class environment for relaxation and recreation.

From revamped athletic facilities to upgraded dining venues, every corner of the club has been thoughtfully reimagined to provide comfort, sophistication, and enjoyment.

ACC president Paul Cortez highlighted that these enhancements were made possible through the cooperation and dedication of everyone involved.

“The changes were funded by the transfer fees we collected from new members,” Cortez said as the club looks forward to celebrating its 50th year in 2031.

The driving range, initiated during the term of former ACC president Dr. Brian Cabral, is expected to be fully operational in time for the Mango Tee Invitational next month.

Cortez said the first level would be ready while the second is being completed.

Pickleball courts: A growing trend in sports

One of the most notable additions to the club is the upgraded pickleball courts.

This fast-growing sport, which combines elements of tennis, badminton and ping pong, has become a favorite among members looking for an exciting and social way to stay active.

The newly-renovated courts offer a state-of-the-art playing surface and an improved layout that ensures both beginners and seasoned players enjoy the game in a welcoming environment.

With its rising popularity, the club’s investment in pickleball reflects its dedication to providing diverse sporting options that cater to a wide range of interests.

Perfect for unwinding after a game or a busy day, the lounge provides comfort and a strong sense of community.
