Mount Malarayat Golf & Country Club

The Resort & Setting

Mount Malarayat Golf & Country Club occupies a hilltop position in Barangay Dagatan, Lipa City, spread across roughly 457 acres. The property combines a hotel with an 18-hole golf course, a swimming pool, an on-site restaurant and a kids' playground, making it a solid base for both golfing visitors and families travelling together. It holds a 4.5-star Google rating from over 820 reviews, a strong signal for a resort of this type. The hilltop setting gives it cooler air than the Batangas lowlands and views over the surrounding countryside, which is part of what draws golfers and weekenders out of Manila's traffic.

The Area & Things to Do

Lipa City is one of Batangas province's main commercial centres, known historically for coffee growing and now for its churches, old houses and proximity to the province's coastline and lakes. Batangas as a whole is popular with Manila residents for weekend diving, beach trips and cooler highland air, and Lipa's location makes it a convenient stop between the capital and the coast. Owners and renters typically combine a stay at Mount Malarayat with a round of golf, a drive out to Taal Lake, or a day trip to Batangas's dive sites and beach resorts further south.

Selling or Renting a Week Here

If you own a week at Mount Malarayat Golf & Country Club and no longer use it, you can list it for resale or rent directly on BidMyTimeshare.com. This is an owner-to-owner marketplace: you set your own asking price or weekly rental rate, your listing appears to buyers and renters searching for this resort, and interested parties contact you directly through the platform. There's a one-time listing fee to publish your ad and no commission taken from the sale or rental — unlike agency-brokered resales, you keep what you negotiate.

Because Mount Malarayat is an independent resort rather than part of a major chain, resale transfers typically go through the resort's own owners' association or on-site management rather than a branded resale desk. Before agreeing on a price with a buyer, ask management directly for the current transfer fee and the latest annual maintenance fee, since these aren't published figures and can change year to year. A resale buyer should confirm in writing exactly what transfers with the week — the usage rights, the specific unit or week number, and whether the week carries access to Interval International, which the resort has confirmed as a verified exchange affiliation. Buyers should not assume any loyalty perks, upgrades, or history of past maintenance payments carry over; only the usage rights themselves transfer.

Renters, meanwhile, are typically looking for confirmed dates, clear check-in/check-out details and a straightforward line of communication with the owner — all of which are handled directly between the two parties once connected through the listing.

Practical Notes

Lipa City sits inland in Batangas, so plan around provincial roads rather than coastal transfers if you're coming from Manila or from the coast. Golf and the hilltop setting are the resort's main draws, so travellers without an interest in golf should check what else is nearby before booking. As with any independent resort, always confirm current fees, resort rules and exactly what's included with your week directly with management before finalising a resale or rental.
