Phnom Penh, Cambodia: Vattanac Golf Resort, the luxury Troon-managed golf course, has opened a world-class golf academy.

Set to be one of the region’s best learning and practice facilities, the academy offers unrivalled level of golf technology, including:

  • A floodlit driving range, with all bays powered by Eagle Try technology
  • Two world-class classrooms, each equipped with leading technology
  • An expansive short game area
  • Four VIP rooms with the latest Trackman Range software
  • Three golf simulator rooms
  • A boutique golf specialist gym
  • The largest golf shop in Cambodia
  • A PGA-specialised custom club fitting service

A Facility Member of the Asian Golf Industry Federation (AGIF), Vattanac Golf Resort is the leading 36-hole golf course in Cambodia, sculpted by Faldo Design, an Associate Business Member of the AGIF.

Since the opening of the property in 2019, the company is consistently pursuing its vision to grow golf in Cambodia and the region, as well as to put Phnom Penh on a bucket list of every golf traveller.

To fulfill this vision, Vattanac Group has put a lot of passion and investments into its golf academy’s project. In August 2021, the Vattanac Golf Academy had its soft opening with a floodlit automated driving range, a restaurant and the largest golf shop in Cambodia.

“The completion at Vattanac of a new academy is an incredibly important milestone in the overall evolution of the resort,” said DJ Flanders, Senior Vice President at Troon International, an Executive Member of the AGIF.

“This 40,000 square foot facility will enhance our overall asset and the experience we can offer to our guests. The ownership’s priority at Vattanac Golf Resort is to keep growing the quality and output of our business, and to further engage all components that Troon has to offer,” added Flanders.

This month, the latest phase of the academy’s opening brought to Cambodia cutting-edge, previously unseen golf technology, including two world-class schoolrooms.

These schoolrooms integrate smart interior design features with the latest visual display tools, cameras, lighting and the best performance-enhancing software – Trackman – in order to provide the best learning experience to the students.

Students also enjoy SAM Balance Lab to measure the ground force generated during the golf swing, and V1 Sports for video analysis, all delivered by the country’s only dedicated PGA Teaching Professional, David Lamprecht.

Another elite software – TrackMan Range – is also a prominent part of the four VIP rooms with private range bays. Here the guests can hold their business meetings, parties, while enjoying golf challenges on TrackMan range. This is something unique to Cambodia and Vattanac Golf Resort is just one of a few select venues in Asia which owns this exciting technology.

Golf photographer Kevin Murray was impressed with the golf course and other developments, taking place at Vattanac Golf Resort. He said: “My first trip to Cambodia to shoot the newly designed East and West Courses at Vattanac leaves me searching for the right superlatives, of which many could apply.

“Having shot over 500 courses worldwide, Vattanac has to stand out as the most magnificent golfing venue in Asia. The sheer scale of the complex is like nothing I’ve experienced before in 16 years of shooting golf courses.

“The academy and driving range is the most evocative display that visitors will ever experience. Automatic ball dispensers in each bay makes pre-game practice an easy delight with further VIP bays and lounges fitted with state-of-the-art simulators also available.”

The Vattanac Golf Academy is the ultimate golf venue in Phnom Penh, where everybody with a passion for golf can find something suitable for their skill level and enjoy the game.

The Vattanac Golf Academy is currently offering different initiatives to grow the game – The Vattanac Ladies Golf Programme and The Vattanac Junior Golf Programme as well as a Stay & Learn package.
