The second championship course of Wattanak Golf Resort, designed by Sir Nick Faldo, opened on October 17 in Phnom Penh, Cambodia. West Course will be managed by Troon International, Troon’s international operations arm.
The opening of the West Course coincides with the East Course being recognized as the “Best Golf Course in Cambodia” in the recent World Golf Awards, which aims to recognize and reward excellence in golf.
Faldo designed two championship courses to provide spectacular environments around famous cultural expressions, including scale models of historical Khmer architectural sites, including Angkor Wat, Preah Vihear and Bayon Temple. A statue pays the inheritance to King Jayavarman VII, who has represented one of the more dynamic reigns in Cambodian history since the Angkor period.
The West Stadium will definitely compete with the East Stadium and become one of the top stadiums in Cambodia and even in Asia. It is characterized by narrower, more undulating fairways, various unique water features and testing paspalum greens. Cultural sculptures and stunning landscapes create a magnificent view of Cambodia’s newest golf course. West is a useful test of the skills of players of all levels, with five sets of tees ranging from 4,935 yards to 7,249 yards.
“It is a great moment to see that the West Stadium is now open and ready to play,” Faldo said. “Similar to the East Course, the West Course project is very focused on celebrating Cambodia’s amazing culture and the surrounding environment of Wattanak Golf Resort to create a truly unique character for the course. By incorporating cultural inspiration into the landscape, such as the Elephant Terrace Copying the statue or Dragon Lake, the course has a real sense of place, and its local characteristics help create an unforgettable experience.
“The West Course provides a more intimate look and feel to the east of the resort, but like the East, it offers different strategic challenges. Fairway positioning and hitting options are essential for players looking for rewards and engaging greens. . It will definitely ask golfers’ game management issues. Starting from the tee, long, short, left or right may find difficulties and create a complicated hole. However, there are five teeing stations, and the course is for each golf course. It can be used by golfers, whether it is the best or a beginner, so the important thing is that it is not difficult to enjoy it on the court.”
The resort is now entering the next phase of development, which will soon include night golf and golf academy.
“We are very excited about what we have created here, follow Mr. Wattanak’s vision, and look forward to providing a new standard of golf resort in Southeast Asia that will be comparable to the best resorts in the world,” Wattanak General Manager Carl Whitehead said. “The Golf Academy is an important part of this project because Mr. Wattanak is passionate about developing golf in Cambodia.”
Bernhard Director Steven Nixon said: “This is a great opportunity for us to work with such a solid, mature and expanding business in Mexico.” “It proves that Golf Activa knows their market very well. Despite the challenging climate, it means that we will be able to provide sharpening and grinding equipment for golf courses, sports fields and other cities across the country.”
“Our goal has always been to provide the best choice for high-quality turf products,” said Manuel Nielsen, General Manager of Prove Golf Activa. “Bernhard’s complete range of grinders ensures that we can meet customer expectations in today’s increasingly competitive market.”
Bernhard and Company also announced the appointment of Cristina Aguilera as the new sales agent. She will support the distribution network in Mexico, Central and South America.
Reese Jones returned to the place where he spent his childhood to restore the Coral Ridge Country Club.
The Coral Ridge Country Club in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, was built in 1954 and designed by his legendary father Robert Trent Jones Sr. (Robert Trent Jones Sr.). The club will open in December. It will open after a project that leads to new greens, renewed irrigation and improved drainage. The same design, playability and challenges will continue to be a tribute to Jones Sr., whose vision has been integrated into the community. Just like the club itself, the family heritage continues to exist.
In order to be as authentic as possible during the restoration process, no changes were made to the original design, and the authenticity of the course design was maintained while solving the infrastructure problems. “My goal is to enhance and recover, not to replace the superb green silhouette and approach the challenge of hitting,” Reese said. “Today’s construction technology allows me to improve irrigation and’lift’ fairways and green complexes to improve drainage.”
The bunker was renewed and reserved areas were added. All renewals follow modern standards and techniques for irrigation, drainage and greening construction methods.
“This is not a typical Florida course,” said Coral Ridge general manager JJ Sehlke, who is also a partner in the club’s ownership group. “Mr. Jones calls it “E-Bogey High Par”. It’s not particularly difficult, but it’s fun. Our members play 250 or 300 times a year, and we think having higher quality courses will have an impact on attracting new members .”
The refurbishment includes the addition of 35,659 feet of underground drainage pipes to effectively transfer the water to the catch basins, which will drain into the reserved area, thereby creating a dry channel faster. The design concept of the aircraft carrier tee was restored to the iconic runway style of Old Jones. The additional tee and tee structure provide more opportunities for players of different levels and extend some holes to play longer. Due to wear and tear during the peak season, the par 3 tee has been enlarged.
Many greens have shrunk due to the erosion of the leading grass, and the bunkers have lost their original shape, size and impact on the game. These improvements restore the classic bunker shape by creating more trimmed and sculpted edges, helping to keep the sand white and clean. Coral Ridge now has 94 bunkers.
The course has been played by Arnold Palmer and Jack Nicklaus and others. It includes champion Bermuda grass on the green, celebration Bermuda grass on the fairway, and TifGrand on the tee and collar. Bermuda grass.
This refurbished course covers only 120 acres, ranging in length from 4,700 yards to more than 7,300 yards. The wall-to-wall concrete cart path reflects the path on the club’s Rees 9 short track, increases the travel in and out of the hole, eliminates damage to the edge of the turf, and reduces maintenance, allowing players to enter the court faster after rain .
The new irrigation system contains 1,287 sprinklers and approximately 29 miles of irrigation pipes. The benefits of the new sprinkler technology include precise control of water volume and coverage, allowing the club to save water and become a better environmental steward. The new stadium provides 102,610 square feet of consistent, high-quality playing conditions, which can quickly restore normal playability after rainfall.
Jones’ history in Coral Ridge began in 1954, when the course was originally designed and built by Jones Sr. Since its opening on February 3, 1955, Coral Ridge has been a landmark of the community. It was built on the original site of the Flora Nada Stadium (a combination of Florida and Canada) that ceased to exist in the 1920s. Until Jones and members of Coral Ridge Golf Course, Inc. saw the “Ghost Course” and sought to rent land to build the championship 18-hole course, clubhouse, and adjacent American golfer club, the land has been in decline.
Ten years later, Old Jones bought the stadium and surrounding land he built for $1 million, including the old American. Jones, his wife Ain and sons Robert Trent Jones, Jr. and Rees Jones use Coral Ridge as their home stadium and club, with pride and hospitality. Attitude to supervise and manage it. Jones established a typical South Florida country club with golf courses, swimming pools, tennis courts, and members deeply rooted in the growing community of Fort Lauderdale.
Reese was born in golf and spent most of his youth in Coral Ridge. He traveled to golf courses around the world with his family and worked for his father in the summer, but he never lost contact with Coral Ridge. He created a nine-hole par-3 course from the American Golf Club built by his father near the main club. The Jones family controlled the club until 2004, when Reese and his brother Robert Jr. sold the club to a cooperative organization led by Fort Lauderdale businessman and philanthropist Phil Smith. Smith died of Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis in December 2016. The restoration is a tribute to the legacy of Mr. Smith and Jones.
The Southern California resort will begin as a neutral location for the 2024 NCAA Women’s and Men’s Golf Championships for a period of three years.
