DONGGWANG Clark Corp., the local unit of Donggwang Construction Co. Ltd. of South Korea, has started the construction of a P200-million golf clubhouse in Clark Freeport Zone, state-run Clark Development Corp. said Wednesday.
The clubhouse is part of the South Korean company’s pledge to invest $400-million for the construction of a world-class 304-hectare tourism estate, including recreational and leisure projects inside Clark.
CDC said Donggwang planned to complete the construction of the world-class facility in 2016.
CDC said the tourism estate project consists of a 36-hole golf course, clubhouse, condominium with 330 rooms, water park, spa and gymnasium, eco park, business center, store and function, international school, golf academy and driving range, clinic and drug store, hotel, casino, 500-unit villas and shopping arcade.
Tower 1 and 2 of Donggwang’s Clark ODE County Officetel was inaugurated before the groundbreaking ceremonies at the former True North area. Tower 3 is expected to be completed before end of the year.
CDC said the estate project would employ more than 2,000 workers and lure more foreign and local tourists in Clark.
