Veterans Memorial Hospital and Golf Course
Veterans Golf Club is an 18 hole course short at par 72. Built in 1960, the golf course is on a 33-ha land inside the 55 ha Veterans Memorial and Medical Center at the corner of Mindanao Avenue and North Avenue It comprises 23 separate buildings with a floor space of about 11 hectares. The corridors, put end to end would reach seven miles. A narrow and challenging golf course right in the heart of Quezon City, it is 3 kilometers from Quezon City Hall, and 10K from Makati and Manila, its location has made VGC quite popular to local golfers and short term visitors. A restaurant, function rooms and other amenities are available in its clubhouse. There is a driving range. The golf course at 5,758 yards, is tricky due to its tight fairways with some accentuated dog-legs. Some Mahogany and Kakawate trees line up many of its fairways. Small greens add to the challenge. Interesting and quite possibly its signature hole, is an island green surrounded by a water hazard. Being a short par-4, a golfer with a perfect tee shot can reach the green but not necessarily stay on it. Bunkers and an OB line behind make this hole interesting. This course needs sharp, short game skills, there are 4 holes of par 3 and 4 holes of par 5 remaining is par 4 holes.Proceeds of the green fees goes to support the maintenance of our Veterans Memorial Hospitals.
As a running route, the Veterans Golf Course has a 2km loop which starts at a concrete path on the right of the main gate. It traverses into a fairway green passing leftwards thru a trail which opens into a 500 meter tree-lined road near the tee-off area then turns left going towards the chapel then right back to the entrance.
