Hann Philippines Inc. is set to introduce a new leisure destination with the upcoming opening of Hann Reserve, a nature-centric estate in New Clark City, slated to open in March.

Agnes Liwanag, vice president for real estate and property development of Hann Philippines Inc., said during a press briefing recently that preparations are underway for the development of the 450-hectare property, which is currently in its first phase.

The project will feature a championship golf course integrated with wellness amenities, education facilities and residential communities, forming what the company describes as a single, interconnected ecosystem.

Hann Reserve is the latest addition to the Hann Resorts portfolio, which includes Hann Casino Resort, the 11-hectare property regarded as the first fully integrated resort in Central Luzon.

The Hann Casino Resort complex also houses five-star international hotel brands such as Marriott, Swissotel and homegrown brand Widus.

Hann Reserve general manager Tim Neil emphasized that the March opening symbolizes the beginning of a long-term journey for their new project, with future phases carefully sequenced to ensure quality, continuity and global relevance.

The eco-sanctuary estate will feature three championship golf courses designed by Nicklaus Design, K.J. Choi and Nick Faldo. These will complement the PGA Performance Center and PGA Village, developed in partnership with the PGA of America, positioning Hann Reserve as a hub for elite training, coaching and education.

“Something we always talk about internally is that we’re not here to replicate. We’re here to reinvent,” Neil said.

“We’re trying to create quality golf at the highest level, with something for multiple groups of consumers, whether that’s for wellness, the PGA village, or three courses of a standard that isn’t currently available, not just in the Philippines but also in Southeast Asia,” he added.

Neil also mentioned that the company will support grassroots programs through golf education and athlete development as part of efforts to help elevate the country’s golf landscape.
