Wack Wack Golf and Country Club is a golf course and country club resort complex located in Mandaluyong, Metro Manila, Philippines.[1]

The complex features two 18-hole championship courses, landscaped terrains, gardens and villas.[2]

Wack Wack was founded by William James Shaw in 1930 – because he was disgusted that Larry Montes, a caddy who had won the 1929 Philippine Open tournament at the Manila Golf Club, of which Shaw was a member, had been asked to leave the tournament celebration, by virtue of a rule against the presence of caddies inside the Manila Golf Club.[3]

According to legend, "wack wack" was the sound made by crows who roamed areas of golf courses.[4] The logo of Wack Wack features two black birds.
