Golfplus Management Inc. (GMI), operator of driving ranges in Nuvali, Alviera, and DuckWorld PH, started to temporarily manage the Camp John Hay golf estate facilities on Jan. 6, 2025.
Following the Supreme Court’s final denial of all motions for reconsideration filed by CJH Development Corp. (CJH DevCo) on Oct. 22, 2024, the Bases Conversion and Development Authority (BCDA) announced that GMI would assume interim management of the Camp John Hay golf estate.
A notice to vacate was served to CJH DevCo on Jan. 6, 2025 and return the facilities to BCDA control.
“We know the CJH golf course is a crowd favorite in the golf community. New and former players will continue to enjoy premium services at the estate facilities during the interim period,” said BCDA vice president Mark Torres.
GMI president and interim management head Eduardo Arguelles said the new management would focus on evaluating current systems and protocols to inform future decisions.
“We will be introducing improvements and evaluating systems and protocols to provide appropriate recommendations when the estate is ready to be turned over to a long-term private partner,” he said.
John Hay Management Corp. president and chief executive Marlo Quadra reiterated the establishment’s commitment to maintaining the estate’s prestige and high-quality service.
“The new management will prioritize the continued provision of services and the well-being of all employees, including caddies,” he said.
To facilitate a smooth transition, the estate facilities will be temporarily closed on Jan. 7 and 8, 2025, to allow the Office of the Baguio Sheriff to conduct a property inventory.
Interim guidelines for the estate are expected to be released on Jan. 8, 2025.
