The Bases Conversion and Development Authority (BCDA) has extended the interim operations and maintenance agreement of Golfplus Management Inc. and Duck Sports and Music Productions Inc. for John Hay Golf at Camp John Hay in Baguio City, allowing the two firms to continue managing the iconic course until later this year.
In a statement released Thursday, BCDA said the extension is meant to ensure uninterrupted access for golfers, residents, and tourists while the agency finalizes long-term plans for the sustainable management of the facility. John Hay Golf was reopened to the public in 2025 after years of uncertainty over its operations.
“Extending the interim management ensures uninterrupted operations while safeguarding public access and maintaining the quality of services expected by golfers and visitors,” BCDA President and Chief Executive Officer Joshua Bingcang said.
Under the extended agreement, the two firms will also be able to organize the BCDA Chairman’s Cup in 2026, continue upgrading course facilities and amenities, and host additional tournaments and events aimed at strengthening John Hay Golf’s standing as a premier sports and recreation destination in Baguio City.
BCDA added that the course is also playing a role in developing the next generation of Filipino golfers through a partnership with the Philippine Sports Commission and the National Golf Association of the Philippines. The program provides free access to the course for children aged 18 and below, helping make the sport more inclusive and accessible.
“The extension underscores BCDA’s commitment to keeping John Hay Golf open, inclusive, and well-managed as a public asset for present and future generations,” the agency said.
