GENERAL TRIAS CITY — Megaworld’s Maple Grove township is set to welcome a major new sports and lifestyle destination. Villaroman Golf Academy will build a 2.7-hectare facility featuring a 50-bay driving range, tournament-grade pickleball courts, and dining options, expanding the 140-hectare township’s recreational offerings.
A Prestigious Academy Comes to Cavite
The academy is led by founder and head coach Carito Villaroman, a former touring professional who has mentored Filipino golf standouts including Yuka Saso and Bianca Pagdanganan. Villaroman Golf Academy is also accredited by the Games and Amusements Board to certify professional golf coaches nationwide, reinforcing its reputation as a leader in sports education.
The facility will cater to beginners, enthusiasts, and competitive golfers through structured training programs. Golfers can train on real grass, artificial turf, fairway, bunker, and rough surfaces, replicating actual course conditions. The academy’s expansion into Maple Grove marks a significant milestone for Cavite’s growing sports community.
World-Class Facilities for Golf and Pickleball
The hub will feature a 50-bay driving range, golf hitting bays, and state-of-the-art simulators. A dedicated short-game area with bunkers will allow players to refine their skills. Three tournament-grade pickleball courts will also be built, catering to the sport’s surging popularity across the Philippines.
Beyond sports, the facility will include a players’ lounge, a golf-specific gym, a sports retail zone, a resto and sports bar, and a café. These amenities position the development as a comprehensive lifestyle destination. Residents and visitors can train, dine, and socialize without leaving the township.
Elevating Maple Grove’s Township Vision
The addition strengthens Maple Grove’s portfolio of sports and recreational facilities. The township already features a biking and jogging track, a futsal field, retail establishments, residential communities, and office developments. The commercial district continues to expand with restaurants, cafés, and national retail brands.
Megaworld Lifestyle Malls Maple Grove first vice president Graham Coates said the new additions form part of the vision to build a township that offers more than residential and business spaces. The goal is to give the growing community greater access to recreation and lifestyle experiences closer to home.
Boosting Property Value and Livability
The arrival of a prestigious sports academy directly enhances Maple Grove’s appeal to homebuyers and investors. Families seeking an active lifestyle now have a compelling reason to consider the township. Properties located near high-quality recreational facilities often command higher values and faster appreciation.
The hub also attracts foot traffic from outside the township, benefiting local businesses and retailers. Its presence reinforces Maple Grove’s position as a self-contained community where work, play, and wellness coexist. The development is poised to become a regional destination for golf and pickleball enthusiasts.
Connected and Accessible
Located along Governor’s Drive, Maple Grove is connected to Metro Manila through CAVITEX and CALAX. This accessibility makes the township convenient for residents commuting to the capital while enjoying Cavite’s suburban charm. The sports hub adds another layer of convenience for those seeking a balanced lifestyle.
With its strategic location, comprehensive amenities, and world-class academy, Maple Grove continues to redefine mixed-use living in Cavite. The Villaroman Golf Academy facility will open new doors for sports and leisure, cementing the township’s status as a premier destination in the province.
