The strengthened relationship reflects a shared commitment to positioning Hann Reserve among the world’s leading golf and lifestyle resorts. As the exclusive development partner of the PGA of America in the Philippines, Hann Reserve is advancing its vision of creating a world-class destination that combines exceptional golf, hospitality and real estate. Through the expanded partnership, IMG will support the next phase of Hann Reserve’s growth through enhanced guest experiences, service excellence, international marketing and access to its global network across golf, travel and hospitality.
Momentum continues to build at the resort following the opening of Dragon’s Landing by Nicklaus Design, which has already earned rave reviews from golfers and industry observers alike. Development is set to continue with Six Moons, a new course designed by major champion K.J. Choi, scheduled to open in late 2026, followed by Caverns Deep by Faldo Design. Together, the three 18-hole championship golf courses will form one of Asia’s most compelling golf resort offerings, further reinforcing Hann Reserve’s position as a landmark golf destination.
“From the earliest stages of the project, we have worked closely with the Hann Reserve team to help bring their vision to life,” said Russell Hannah, Vice President, IMG Golf Course Services. “We are delighted to extend our relationship and support the resort’s continued growth through world-class guest experience programmes, strategic marketing support, and access to IMG’s extensive global network across golf and luxury travel. Hann Reserve is a truly special project, and we look forward to helping it realise its full potential on the international stage.”
In addition to supporting operational excellence and guest experience delivery, Hann Reserve will leverage IMG’s global marketing, media and travel networks to strengthen awareness among affluent travelers, golf enthusiasts and key international travel partners. These efforts will support the resort’s growth and further establish Hann Reserve as one of Asia’s leading destinations for luxury golf travel, driving awareness of the destination’s unique blend of championship golf, luxury hospitality and premium residential living.
As part of the partnership, Hann Reserve will join the IMG Prestige Network, an exclusive collection of some of the world’s most respected golf clubs and destinations. Membership will create opportunities for collaboration, reciprocal guest benefits and shared best practices, while providing Hann Reserve members with preferred access and exclusive privileges across the network.
Dae Sik Han, Chairman and CEO, Hann Resorts, said “We believe greatness should not be measured by what we build alone, but by what we create for people to experience. Hann Reserve brings together golf, nature, hospitality and lifestyle in one destination, and our partnership with IMG will help us take that experience to a global audience. Together, we are shaping an experience that is bold in its ambition, authentic to its setting and built to stand among the world’s finest.”
