Healthy living in a great neighborhood

Cathay Land’s South Forbes Golf City provides the ideal environment and appropriate facilities to ensure that its residents are always in the pink of health. This fully-integrated and all-themed golf resort city is located in the Metro Sta. Rosa-Tagaytay corridor.

Every step you take. Walking is the easiest and most inexpensive mode of transportation and daily physical activity. The New Urbanism-based South Forbes is designed as a pedestrian-friendly and walkable city with landscaped paths linking the major parts of the city, making walking a most enjoyable activity.

Faster, higher, stronger. Our ancestors believed that the absence of any illness is the best indicator of good health. Today, however, this belief has changed and the significance of total fitness has become an integral component of good health.

The health buff’s search for a total fitness lifestyle ends at the Sports and Country Club. With the many facilities available — basketball, lawn tennis, badminton, wall climbing, swimming, and bowling — there is no room for boredom from a repetition of sports activities. After a vigorous workout, athletes can indulge in the Sports Café’s menu of healthy food and beverages.

“We want our residents, both young and old, to be health-conscious and to incorporate a fitness regimen in their daily lives so that they not only live longer, but better,” said Cathay Land president Jeffrey Ng.

South Forbes’ Wellness Cluster aims to contribute to its residents’ health and happiness through recovery from ill health or specific health conditions. The Astoria Plaza-South Forbes Spa and Wellness Center’s wellness and medical facilities embraces the growing medical tourism industry with specialty clinics and a spa.

Nearby are the Southern Luzon Hospital and Medical Center and the Sta. Rosa Hospital and Medical Center for more serious conditions.

Mind over muscle. Hard work is a virtue but only when balanced by leisure. The immediate leisure amenity afforded every resident is the village clubhouse and its feature amenities that reflect the architecture and lifestyle of the featured city. Châteaux de Paris will have gardens of grandeur while the Tokyo Mansions clubhouse will feature contemplative Zen gardens. The clubhouses are ideal venues to spend quality family time and special community functions.

“Leisure time is our opportunity for play and recreation, relaxation and self-expression, learning and development,” said Ng. “The mind needs as much attention and relaxation as does the body.”

The City Center is the heart of the whole South Forbes development where a mix of retail, culture, business, and community life is created around a lagoon complex. Residents taking the boardwalk along the lagoon’s perimeter will reach every zone like the main plaza for gatherings and seasonal concerts, even a simulated beach for parties and sandcastle contests. The driving range, a sneak peek into the golf course, is where professional or amateur golfers can hone their skills to perfection.

Climb every mountain. Breathing fresh air and lying on the grass are simple comforts not everyone is entitled to these days. But with the free golf membership that comes with every lot, house and lot, or condominium unit purchase, residents can frequent the manicured fairways and enjoy the gentle breeze and views of the 18-hole South Forbes Golf and Leisure Club.
