P’sinan execs to develop world-class golf course

LINGAYEN, Pangasinan — Provincial officials are intent in developing a world-class golf course here which it sees as a big  investment that will boost employment and future tourism for the province.

The planned golf course will span across the seaside barangays of Sabangan, Estanza, Malimpuec and Capandanan, said Provincial Administrator Rafael Baraan.

“The 18-hole golf course is one of several big investment packages being wrapped up by the provincial government with industrial developers from Taiwan, Malaysia and South Korea,” said Baraan.

The investment packages are being drawn up to be located within the 200-hectare eco-tourism zone within the four adjacent coastal barangays here.

In  a consultation  recently, Lingayen Mayor Ernesto Castaneda and officials and residents of the four barangays vowed to support the golf course project which is expected to open new jobs and other livelihood opportunities related to the tourism industry.
