Course Overview
Faldo Design created two 18-hole championship-standard golf courses – the East and West – that sit at the heart of a luxury resort 15km from the centre of Cambodia’s capital. At the project’s outset Sir Nick Faldo was welcomed to the country by Cambodia’s Prime Minister, Hun Sen, who endorsed the project; the Faldo Design team then proceeded to work closely with the developer to ensure unique identities for the resort and each layout, drawing inspiration from the Cambodian landscape, culture and Bayon Temple and Siem Reap.
“It was an honour to meet with the Prime Minister Hun Sen and I thank him for his gracious welcome to the Kingdom of Cambodia. This was a large site offering real flexibility to create two completely contrasting golf courses and I am proud to finally see these two courses open for play, delivering on the bold development vision we were tasked with. I am confident they will offer a strategic and memorable test to players of all standards and I look forward to seeing the impact they make on the region’s golfing landscape.”
