Iloilo Golf and Country Club
The Iloilo Golf and Country Club, formerly and informally known as the Santa Barbara Golf Course in Brgy. San Sebastian, Santa Barbara, Iloilo on 35 hectares of plain and rolling hills.
It was built in 1907 by a group of Irish expatriates building the Panay line of Panay Railways, also completed in 1907. It was opened to the public in 1913. The original course was a crude 9-hole course. A club followed the establishment of the course, which was initially only open to expats but by 1920 Filipinos were allowed to join including Tomas Confesor and Eugenio Lopez, Sr. and brother Fernando.. Since it is the oldest golf course in the country, the National Historical Commission of the Philippines in 2012 approved the placement of a national historical marker.
Prior to 1947 the course was known as the Santa Barbara Golf and Country Club
It has a challenging 18 hole golf course.
