The Sta. Elena golf course was built in 1990 on a former hundred-year old sugar plantation. Sta. Elena's golf course comprises three combinations of nine holes totaling twenty-seven holes: the Makiling course, the Banahaw course, and the Sierra Madre course. Each set of nine holes is named after a specific geographic landmark that is its backdrop. Another Robert Trent Jones, Jr. creation, this 27-hole all-weather championship course is found within a 120-hectare luxury residential community on gently rolling terrain.

Today, Sta. Elena is often referred to as The Garden of Eden. Its fairways have received numerous awards and citations, including BEST COURSE IN THE PHILIPPINES 2002 - 2007 by Asian Golf Monthly. Its forests are certified by Audubon International, as an Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary for its diversity in Philippine flora and fauna.
