Just outside Phnom Penh, Vattanac Golf Resort has quickly become one of Asia’s standout golf destinations. Designed by Sir Nick Faldo and managed by Troon, the property features two contrasting 18-hole championship layouts, the East and the West - plus a spectacular 9-hole floodlit course known as The Dragon Turn. It’s an easy drive from the city, yet it feels like a green oasis shaped by Khmer culture and dramatic water features.

Courses & Signature Experiences

• East Course: A strategic, championship-length routing that weaves past scale replicas of Angkor Wat, Bayon, and other iconic Khmer landmarks—making every hole feel distinctly Cambodian. The course has received multiple “Cambodia’s Best Golf Course” honors.

• West Course: Opened in 2020, the West brings rolling fairways, testing paspalum greens, and cultural touchpoints like a statue of King Jayavarman VII. It has also taken home national “Best Golf Course” accolades.

• The Dragon Turn (Night Golf): A 9-hole, floodlit loop wrapped around a dragon-shaped lake-an unforgettable twilight round and winner of “World’s Best 9-Hole Golf Course.”

  
  

Beyond the fairways, you’ll find polished practice facilities and a refined clubhouse scene that lives up to the resort’s international pedigree.

Why Golfers Love It

• Faldo Design DNA: Two distinct 18s that challenge shot-makers without punishing newer players.

• Night Golf Magic: Beat the heat and play under the lights on The Dragon Turn-an Asian bucket-list experience.

• Troon Standards: Course conditioning and service levels are top-tier and consistent.
