If you are a golfer and you live in the Subic Bay Freeport Zone, you are probably familiar with Binictican Heights. Conveniently situated in the eastern part of Subic Bay, this area boasts a magnificent view of the green surroundings and is home to one of the Freeport’s best tourist attractions, the Subic Bay Golf and Country Club.

Subic Bay, known as the United States’ largest military installation overseas for almost a century, covers some 67,000 hectares that included besides the former naval base land, a wide expanse of jungles and triple canopy forests.

Moreover, Subic is fast becoming a favorite sailing destination. Enthusiasts of this sport cited the area’s calm waters and stunning natural beauty as reasons for setting up SAGS Subic Sailing, an organization for sailors in the area. The group has organized events, which include various regattas and sailing programs with sailing classes and clinics for novice and even advanced sailors.
