The Bases Conversion and Development Authority (BCDA) welcomes the decision of Camp John Hay Golf Club members to withdraw their complaint against the government-owned and -controlled corporation, and cooperate for a seamless transition that will result in improved facilities and services at the golf estate in Camp John Hay, Baguio City. 

A group of Camp John Hay Golf Club members has filed a motion to withdraw their case filed before the Baguio Regional Trial Court, signaling their willingness to build a partnership with the new management of the golf course. 

Following the successful recovery of the Camp John Hay Golf Course in Baguio, a new consortium formed by Golfplus Management Inc., the operations team behind the driving ranges in premium estates Nuvali and Alviera, and DuckWorld PH, a sports management and marketing agency, has been tapped to assist the BCDA in managing the golf estate facilities for the interim period.

“The withdrawal of the case is a positive step towards the smooth transition of the Camp John Hay Golf Course. We want to assure the public that new and former players will continue to enjoy premium golf course services and that the workforce will be taken care of by our new interim partners, Golfplus and DuckWorldPH. We are confident that their talented and skilled engineers, designers, and maintenance experts are more than capable of bringing world-class services and facilities to Camp John Hay Golf Course,” said BCDA President and Chief Executive Officer Joshua M. Bingcang.

The BCDA was able to regain control of Camp John Hay, including the golf course, in line with the 22 October 2024 Supreme Court resolution which allowed the state-run firm to recover the 247-hectare property. In accordance with the Supreme Court ruling, the implementation of the writ of execution and notice to vacate was carried on by the court sheriff on Monday, 06 January 2024.
