(DSC01756) Flying into Cagayan de Oro is an impressive sight; mountains everywhere! Where there's terrain this impressive there's always the potential for great golf. With land this good, it was important to find an architect that could do it justice. Robert Trent Jones, Jr. is easily the most popular golf architect in the country and for good reason; he builds great golf courses. Sta. Elena, Canlubang Golf & Country Club, Calatagan Golf Club, Ayala Greenfield Estates and Summit Point are all products of Jones, Jr.'s vision. Jones says, "We use our vision to reveal and sculpt the course inherent in each site so golfers can enjoy the challenges and wonders of the game." In Cagayan de Oro, he didn't have to look hard. Pueblo de Oro Golf & Country Club is built on a plateau 350 meters above the city of Cagayan de Oro. Sitting adjacent to the airport, eighteen holes of golf flow effortlessly on what was once marginal pastureland. Wide fairways fan out from the centrally located clubhouse and meander across and around the ravines that line the property. Memorability is one of the yardsticks of a golf course and Pueblo de Oro does not disappoint. The holes are strongly sculpted with subtle mounding that defines the fairways and multiple bunkers contrasting with lush vegetation on rolling fairways of Tifton grass. Pueblo de Oro is medium length by modern standards at 6,974 yards from the tips, but I don't feel that length is an issue here. There is great variety in the layout, a clever mix of short and medium length par-4s and some breath-taking par-3s will demand a complete game from the golfer. At a very reasonable 6,385 yards from the blues, Pueblo de Oro is an extremely entertaining track. (Taken from http://www.pinoygolfer.com/forum/viewtop ic.php?t=2590)
