The Troon-managed, Vattanac Golf Resort, celebrates the opening of the spectacular âThe Dragon Turnâ night golf.
The night golf is an exciting addition to the recently opened âWest Courseâ and offers golfers a unique opportunity to play in the breathtaking surrounds of Phnom Penh under the cover of darkness.
âThe Dragon Turnâ is aptly named by the lakeâs shape that sits in the middle of three holes of this exciting 9-hole floodlit course.
Inspired by ownershipâs vision to create a venue with significant character, this lake is yet another unique feature that this resort plays host to.
Night golf will be available for play from sunset with the last tee time at 9PM, creating a very special addition to Vattanac Golf Resort.
The launch of âThe Dragon Turnâ night golf comes after a successful end to 2020 for the resort following the opening of the second Faldo Design course, the âWest Courseâ, and the âEast Courseâ being named âCambodiaâs Best Golf Courseâ at the 2020 World Golf Awards.
With imposing character and striking identity, the âEast courseâ has received high praise from golfers the world over.
Set within captivating natural surroundings, the âEastâ is a strategic golf course that utilizes dramatic water features, creative bunkering, and various forms of native fauna to challenge golfers of all levels.
Over and above the highly enjoyable golf experience, the âEastâ pays homage to the marvels of Khmer architecture and the countryâs rich history, with magnificent scale replicas of the world-renowned Angkor Wat, Bayon Temple and Preah Vihear Temple.
The âWest Courseâ will certainly contend with the âEast Courseâ as not only one of the best in Cambodia, but also one of the best in Asia.
The West Course has distinctive differences from the East Course, of which are defined by narrower and more undulating fairways, a variety of unique water features and testing Paspalum greens.
Cultural sculptures and stunning landscaping attribute to the striking scenery of Cambodiaâs newest golf course.
The âWestâ is a rewarding test of skill for players of all levels, featuring 5 sets of tees, starting at 4,935 yards, right through to 7,249 yards.
Karl Whitehead, General Manager at Vattanac Golf Resort, commented: âItâs been an incredibly exciting end to 2020 and start to 2021 for us at Vattanac Golf Resort.
The announcement of the 9-holes of night golf on the West Course showcases how we, not only want to compete to have the best championship courses in Asia, but we also, under Mr Vattanacâs vision, want to offer golfers a fresh and exciting approach to the game.
The dramatic landscape of âThe Dragon Turnâ under the night sky will hopefully provide golfers this.â Cambodiaâs luxury golf resort continues through the next phase of the integrated resort development to soon include a world-acclaimed Golf Academy.
