13th Beach – The Creek Course Victoria, Australia A rugged, gently undulating sand belt-style golf course. • Par 72 • 7000 yards • 6401 metres • Status: Opened for play in 2004 "The Creek Course has more of a Melbourne sand-belt feel to it and I think that works well as an interesting alternative to the Beach Course. We incorporated generously wide fairways with bold, rugged bunkering to offer strong strategic challenges to a broad range of golfing abilities. The greens are subtly contoured and their approaches encourage a wide diversity of shot-making options. The course gains its name from the semi-dry creeks that meander across the site, further adding to the strategic interest of the course." — Sir Nick Faldo #FaldoDesign #Victoria #Australia

Vattanac Golf Resort Phnom Penh, Cambodia "Vattanac Resort is a celebration of great golf and of ancient Cambodian culture. Sir Nick Faldo and his design team did some heavy lifting in the Kingdom first with the East course in the fall of 2019. In 2020, the vast and intimidating East was named “Cambodia’s Best Golf Course” at the World Golf Awards. Part of the landscape includes ancient scale replicas of Khmer architecture including Angkor Wat, Bayon Temple and Terrace of the Elephants. Faldo Design was not content to rest on its laurels. In 2020, they created the West course, a tighter track that plays with a bit more intimacy. The WGA was also impressed and awarded the West its own “Cambodia’s Best Golf Course” designation the next year." — Golf.com #FaldoDesign #Vattanac #Cambodia #Strategy #Memorability #KevinMurray

LUGUNA LANG CO  Hue, Vietnam • Par 71 • 6958 yards • 6362m • Status: Open for play Laguna Lang Co’s Sir Nick Faldo Signature golf course is the centrepiece of a luxury resort complex situated on a 280-hectare beachfront site.  The golf course routing incorporates five separate environments – sand dunes, rice-paddy fields, trees and scrub, rocky hillsides and coastline – and visits each on both nines; it provides enormous variety whilst also allowing enough land for the built development included in the masterplan. Extreme sensitivity was required in order to retain much of the site’s natural habitats and character, and this was achieved by incorporating those environments into the course strategically and aesthetically. Native Zoysia grasses were established for the playing areas, allowing for minimal irrigation requirements; as a whole the course stands as a significant habitat resource and sustains enormous ecological and aesthetic variety alongside the built elements of the development. Laguna Lang Co was awarded “Best New Course Asia Pacific” at the 2013 Asia Pacific Golf Summit. It is also the only golf course in Vietnam to be certified by Earth Check – the world's leading scientific benchmarking, certification and advisory group for travel & tourism – reaching Silver Status in 2017. #FaldoDesign #GolfCourse #VietnamGolf #LuxuryResort #EcoFriendlyGolf #GolfTravel #SirNickFaldo #Strategy #Memorability
