Panglao Golf Sports and Entertainment Park

Overview

Panglao Golf Sports and Entertainment Park is a multi-activity recreation venue in barangay Bolod, Panglao municipality, on Panglao Island. The facility centres on a 28-bay two-storey golf driving range and a 9-hole mini golf course with putting and chipping green. Additional sporting facilities include darts, an obstacle course, and table tennis. The venue also operates the PAR 72 Bar and Restaurant — a 120-seat resto-bar with al fresco and air-conditioned seating options — and two private KTV rooms.

The facility reflects a shift in Panglao’s tourism economy beyond the beach-and-dive model concentrated on Alona Beach. Bolod is one of the barangays that sees above-average tourist traffic on an island where interior communities like Tangnan, Binoon, and San Isidro remain oriented toward coconut and root-crop farming; a driving range, mini golf course, and resto-bar complex here represents land-based recreation investment alongside an accommodation sector that spans backpacker beach huts at roughly PHP 600–800 a night up through four-star resort pricing.

Location

Barangay Bolod, Panglao municipality, Panglao Island. Bolod is on the interior of Panglao Island, south of the Tagbilaran–Alona Beach road corridor. The facility is near South Farm Panglao.

Getting There

Panglao Island is reached from Tagbilaran city via the Panglao Bridge (approximately 15–20 minutes by tricycle or habal-habal). From Tagbilaran, head to Panglao and ask for the direction to barangay Bolod or South Farm road. A precise street address isn’t published, so it’s worth confirming the exact pin with your driver or a map app before heading out.

Panglao has no river system of its own, and both households and tourism facilities draw domestic and irrigation water from a freshwater lens — a layer of fresh groundwater floating above denser saltwater within the island’s porous limestone bedrock. Published water-quality studies have found chloride levels in some wells running well past the World Health Organization’s 250 mg/L threshold, attributed to dry-season over-extraction. A grass driving range and mini golf course are water-intensive land uses on an island already managing that constraint, though the facility’s specific irrigation source and volume aren’t published — worth asking about if water stewardship matters to you.

What to Expect

The facility is oriented toward both recreational golfers and non-golfers travelling in groups — the combination of driving range, mini golf, dining, and entertainment rooms positions it as a venue for mixed-activity social visits. The driving range’s two-storey format gives multiple bays with open views. The restaurant can accommodate groups of up to 120.

Notes

• If you’re planning a group outing that combines golf, dining, and KTV, call ahead — current pricing, hours, and whether advance booking is required for the private KTV rooms or large groups aren’t published online.
