Globetrotting in South Forbes

Decades ago, Filipinos would say that once they’ve made their wealth, they would travel around the world.

That luxury of taking a glimpse of the world and living it daily can now be possible in South Forbes Golf City, the country’s largest fully integrated and all-themed golf resort city at the forefront of the Metro Sta. Rosa–Tagaytay corridor.

It is also the Philippines’ sole recipient of the coveted title of Best Golf Community Development from the 2007 CNBC International Property Awards, the world’s most prestigious property awards program.

“South Forbes expresses the dreams of its residents to live in a diversified place where their lives can be a lot better and their futures much brighter,” said Cathay Land president Jeffrey Ng.

South Forbes’ Residential Cluster of internationally-themed neighborhoods and condominiums incorporates a modern twist to traditional architectural designs and lifestyles unique to a featured city.

South Forbes’ southern territory includes the Mediterranean Villas, which bring in the charm of the sun-drenched Spanish Mediterranean coast with a selection of quaint homes. The beauty and grandeur of the French capital has found a place in Châteaux de Paris, a neighborhood of charming chateaus built around themed gardens. Miami is a vibrant community of posh Moderne homes and lush tropical landscape much like its Floridian counterpart.

Northward are Bali Mansions and Nirwana Bali, which promise of a daily tropical resort lifestyle. The minimalism of Tokyo Mansions exudes a serene, contemplative environment that will inspire its residents to seek enlightenment. Phuket Mansions incorporates the sophistication and allure of Thailand with the pleasures of contemporary island resort living.

Capping the Residential Cluster is the Golf View Terraces, a condominium built along the perimeter of the golf course, which affords residents a prime fairway view from their balconies; and Scandia Suites, a take-off on the uncomplicated, efficient, and innovative style of Scandinavian modernism where the active executive can find respite from his hectic lifestyle.

The City Center, on the other hand, houses retail stores, restaurants, and entertainment centers.

Within the city is South Forbes City Colleges that intends to initially offer hotel and restaurant management, information technology, business management, nursing and other medical-related courses, vocational courses (under TESDA), and foreign language courses.

The whole development is anchored on its prime amenity, the world-class 18-hole golf course, where every resident is entitled to free membership to the South Forbes Golf and Leisure Club.

With the affiliation shared by South Forbes to the IMG Sports Club, all members enjoy preferred access to and discounted rates in 42 other golf clubs worldwide, including the Nirwana Bali Golf Club in Indonesia, the Laguna Phuket Golf Club in Thailand, Moonah Links in Melbourne, Australia, and the prestigious Presidio Golf Course in San Francisco, USA.
