Vattanac Golf Resort

What Vattanac Golf Resort does

Vattanac Golf Resort is a 36-hole championship golf destination located approximately 45 minutes from central Phnom Penh, Cambodia, operating as a flagship hospitality asset of the diversified Vattanac Group. The property comprises two 18-hole championship courses designed by six-time Major winner Sir Nick Faldo (East Course opened May 2019, West Course opened October 2020) plus a 9-hole floodlit night course named Dragon Turn. The courses are differentiated through the integration of scale replicas of Khmer cultural monuments (Angkor Wat, Bayon, Preah Vihear, Terrace of the Elephants) directly into the playing landscape.

The resort's technology stack centers on the Vattanac Golf Academy: a 28-bay floodlit driving range powered by Eagle Try technology, multiple Trackman 4 launch monitors installed in school rooms, VVIP rooms, and simulator rooms, MIA Sports Solutions-designed golf simulators, and GPS-equipped golf carts. Troon Golf, the global upscale golf hospitality operator, manages the property and connects it to international booking infrastructure via ezlinksgolf.com.

Vattanac generates revenue across seven streams: green fees on three courses (weekday 18-hole from $155; weekend $190; night golf promotional from $145), Stay & Play and Stay & Learn bundled packages with Hôtel KVL and Rosewood Phnom Penh (single-occupancy packages ranging from $475 to $2,615+), individual and group golf instruction ($100/hour), driving range ball packages, tournament and corporate event hosting, pro shop retail (Hugo Boss, Titleist, Polo Ralph Lauren, FootJoy), and on-site F&B. Customers span affluent international golf tourists from Asia-Pacific, domestic Cambodian players, corporate groups, government and diplomatic delegations (Prime Minister Cup), pre-wedding couples, and junior golfers enrolled in the US Kids Golf-affiliated program.
