Description
Chhun On Golf Resort
Located just 40 minutes from downtown Phnom Penh, Chhun On Golf Resort is one of Cambodia’s rising stars in golf hospitality. Nestled within peaceful countryside and bordered by serene lakes, this modern golf destination features an 18-hole championship layout crafted by renowned architect Brian Curley. With a design that emphasizes water features, generous landing areas, and breathtaking natural views, Chhun On offers a balanced and relaxing round for golfers of all levels. The course combines accessibility, challenge, and luxury into a single cohesive experience, making it a favorite for locals and international guests alike.
Opened in 2022, Chhun On Golf Resort is a relatively new but already celebrated addition to Cambodia’s growing golf scene. Its location in Kandal Province places it conveniently between Phnom Penh’s urban energy and the tranquility of rural landscapes. The Lakes Course, named after the large interconnected water bodies that run throughout the layout, offers unique strategic demands and photogenic moments across every hole. The resort is part of a larger development project that aims to bring premium leisure experiences to the region.
Course Layout & Design
The 18-hole Lakes Course spans over 7,100 yards from the championship tees and features wide fairways, strong elevation movement, and abundant water features. Designed by Brian Curley, the course draws inspiration from modern American resort courses with a tropical Southeast Asian twist. The lakes and bunkers are positioned to challenge aggressive players while offering safe routes for more cautious golfers. Each hole brings a fresh perspective—some framed by palm trees, others wrapping around large ponds or gentle ridgelines.
Signature holes include:
- Hole 4 – A long par-5 dogleg right with water along the entire right side and a narrowing green protected by bunkers.
- Hole 11 – A visually striking par-3 over a large lake with a peninsula green and temple-style landscaping in the backdrop.
- Hole 18 – A strong par-4 finishing hole that bends around a central lake, offering risk-reward potential off the tee and a demanding second shot into a small green.
