Wakeboarding

The Beginners' lake is just a straight track while the Pros can play around the oval track with all the ramps and obstacles.

I wish I could tell you more about the experience but, unfortunately, I wasn't allowed to try it due to my back problems. :(

Golf

As easy as it may seem, playing the sport is actually difficult. It's not just about hitting the ball. There are so much to consider in every swing - the wind speed, direction, distance, just to name a few. Golf requires force, focus, and a LOT of patience!

Since we're all first timers, we just tried it in the driving range. As I said, the sport requires a lot of patience. The first few minutes got really frustrating. It took me countless swings before I finally got to perfectly hit the ball. As I watch the ball soar high across the field, it felt like I already won the lottery! Achievement unlocked! ;)

We may have not aced the game, but at least our outfit was on point. Yes? ;)

Biking

Biking has always been one of my hobbies since I was a kid. More than its health benefits, what I love about biking is that it gets me to places at my own pace plus I enjoy the view while on the ride.



Though there are electric carts on standby, ready to take you to different facilities within the club, Pradera Verde is also offering bike rentals that is free-of-charge to those who want to explore the leisure park themselves.

Swimming

What's a weekend getaway without swimming right? Pradera Verde isn't just about extreme sports. The club also boasts a huge wave pool and beach-type pool that families, especially the kids, will surely enjoy!









We were leaving that day so Ruth and I decided to skip siesta and went straight to the pool area after lunch. Too bad though we didn't get to experience the wave because it takes about 45 minutes to warm up the machine and we didn't have that much time left.

Dining

Located just beside the wake park, Pradera Verde's Viewdeck Restaurant provides a great view of the wakeboarding action while enjoying good food with your friends and family.









Viewdeck restaurant offers a wide selection of delicious Kapampangan and International cuisines. Here's what we had during our stay:

Clubhouse Sandwich

Kare-kare and Chopsuey

Inihaw na Boneless Bangus

Crispy Pata

Lumpiang Shanghai

Sayote and Carrots with Quail Eggs

Staycation

During our overnight stay at Pradera Verde, we stayed in their 2 Bedroom Villa. The place is so huge for all six of us! It's got 2 bedrooms, 2 baths, a living area and a kitchen and dining area. Though I'm not quite sure if they are charging for corkage fee, the kitchen already has refrigerator to store your food, a microwave to heat your baon, and a water heater for your morning coffee or tea.

Overall, our weekend stay at Pradera Verde is truly a fun and memorable one. There are so many things to do so you won't get bored, plus it's just near the metro so you can enjoy their amenities in no time! The accommodation may be pricey, BUT I think the rates for the activities, especially the food, is really affordable and definitely worth it.
