AGS Course Heritage — Nick Faldo Design
Vattanac Golf Resort
East Course
"Faldo's Khmer epic — Pre-Angkorean temple sculptures set within a championship layout."
The Overview
Vattanac Golf Resort East Course is one of the most culturally immersive golf experiences available anywhere in Asia — a Sir Nick Faldo design that integrates scale reproductions of Pre-Angkorean architectural structures throughout the course, creating an outdoor gallery of Khmer heritage that is as educationally extraordinary as it is visually stunning. Golfers encounter these sculptural features at tee boxes, along fairway corridors, and near greens throughout the round.
Faldo's routing on the East Course is designed to showcase these cultural landmarks at their most dramatic — elevated tee positions provide perspective on the scale of the sculptures, and approach shots framed by temple structures create photographs that no conventional golf course can rival. The golf itself is a genuine championship examination: accurate iron play is rewarded, while spray shots encounter both the sculptural features and the natural bunkering that characterises Faldo's design style globally.
As a public-access layout, the East Course provides visiting discerning golfers with a genuine Faldo design experience at Cambodia's most prestigious resort address. AGS views this course as an essential component of any Phnom Penh golf program — the combination of championship golf quality and Cambodian cultural immersion is unmatched anywhere else in the country.

The Curator's Brief
Vattanac Golf Resort East Course is a premium championship pre-angkorean sculpture features throughout golf course located in Cambodia. Designed by Sir Nick Faldo, this elite facility operates as a strict Par 72 layout, stretching to a formidable over 7,000 Yards from the championship tees.
Engineered for international touring groups, the course demands precise shot-making and strategic course management. Asia Golf Specialists (AGS) officially partners with Vattanac Golf Resort East Course to guarantee priority tee time access, VIP caddie requests, and seamless private ground transportation from your luxury basecamp directly to the first tee box. As a highly regulated facility, walk-in tee times for large international groups are notoriously difficult to secure during the high season (February through May).
According to internal logistical data, AGS recommends incorporating this specific course into a wider multi-day itinerary to perfectly balance coastal links exposure with distinct pre-angkorean sculpture features throughout challenges. By booking through the AGS Local Guardian network, players bypass public booking queues and experience an uncompromising, fully managed luxury golf experience.
