Description
Dara Sakor Golf Resort
Set along Cambodia’s remote southwestern coast, Dara Sakor Golf Resort is one of Southeast Asia’s most ambitious golf developments. Located in Koh Kong province, this 54-hole mega-resort features three distinct 18-hole courses—Ocean, Mountain, and Links—each offering a unique golfing experience framed by natural beauty and coastal tranquility. Designed by Chinese golf legend Zhang Lianwei, the resort provides championship-level golf with spectacular sea views, dramatic elevation changes, and pristine course conditioning. Dara Sakor is a destination for serious golf travelers and regional tournament organizers seeking something bold and new in Cambodia.
Launched in 2020, Dara Sakor marks a new chapter in Cambodian golf development, both in scale and ambition. With over 2,000 hectares of coastal land and plans for marina access, casino, and luxury villas, the project is poised to become a major player in Asia’s golf tourism circuit. The courses have already garnered attention for their grand design and untouched landscapes, appealing to adventurous golfers who crave variety and natural immersion. The Ocean Course showcases views of the Gulf of Thailand, the Mountain Course climbs through jungle hills, and the Links Course mimics classic British coastal golf with sand dunes and open terrain.
Course Layout & Design
Each of the three courses at Dara Sakor offers a different playing philosophy. The Ocean Course is designed for dramatic visual impact, featuring holes along cliffs, beaches, and mangroves. The Mountain Course offers steep elevation changes, jungle corridors, and tight fairways. The Links Course, in contrast, emphasizes ground game, firm fairways, and wind exposure. All three layouts are tour-ready, with large greens, strategic bunkers, and multi-option routing that allows players to tailor their challenge. With 54 holes on-site, golfers can stay multiple days without repeating the same course.
Signature holes include:
- Ocean Hole 5 – A par-3 playing downhill toward the sea, with a narrow green perched above crashing waves and wind swirling off the coast.
- Mountain Hole 9 – A steep par-4 with a blind tee shot and a green carved into a jungle hillside, surrounded by dense forest and misty ridges.
- Links Hole 18 – A long finishing hole flanked by native grasses and sand dunes, ending at a green framed by a wide-open sky and panoramic views.
World-Class Facilities & Amenities
While still in development, the resort currently offers essential services and hospitality with future expansion underway:
- Spacious clubhouse with sea-view terraces
- On-site accommodation with future luxury villas planned
- Modern locker rooms and pro shop
- Extensive driving range and putting green
